How to Get the Most Out of Your Probiotics We tend to regard probiotics as something we take as a medicine after using antibiotics. Probiotics are not part of our normal diet apart from yoghurt. Not everybody eats dairy products and vegans battle to find vegetable-based probiotics. What did you do with your probiotics today? Most people will respond by saying they eat yoghurt. After taking antibiotics, they buy expensive supplements to compensate for a wipe out of the gut flora. But very few people know that probiotics are live bacteria that live in the gut and make up over 80% of the immune system. They survive by consuming yeast and other microbes. The other extreme with "immune boosting" is to take excessive amounts of natural substances like echinacea, goldenseal, oregano oil and propolis that do just the opposite! They behave like powerful antibiotics and wipe out the bacteria that function as the largest part of the immune system. Even copious amounts of garlic or cloves will affect your probiotic population. https://www.naturefresh.co.za/Article/276
