It's true we ingest way too much sugar, and I can't vouch for the supplements. Not much of a pill fan, myself.
What I do know is that active probiotics DO work.
For about a year, I've been drinking something called keifer, which is a milk-based probiotic. It's a miracle worker for the digestive system, IMO.
It makes sense, too. Not only are our foodstuffs over processed and over sterilized, but antibiotics are standard treatment for just about everything.
What a lot of people don't think about is that antibiotics kill ALL bacteria...not just the 'bad' ones. Which leaves our bodies depleted of the microbes we desperately need to function properly.
Think about the use of ‘anti-biotics’ in beef and daiy cows. A lot of that comes to us.
The best ‘pro-biotic’ I’ve found for me is Yogurt from raw milk.
An amazing side effect is my allergies have all but disppeared.
You turned me on to Kefir and it is great, thanks.
Good to know the probiotics work for you.
I’ll use medication out of absolute necessity but otherwise avoid it. I do take dietary supplements, however.
