Probiotics for PMS and Periods
Probiotics for PMS and periods We have seen a strong focus on women’s health over the past few years and increased discussion around PMS (premenstrual syndrome), menopause and vaginal health. When people hear the word “probiotics,” they immediately think of the gut and possibly now also know that there is a link between the microbiome…

Probiotics and Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections of any part of the urinary tract that cause inflammation. More than half of all women in the UK experience a UTI in their lifetime and around half of these have recurrent episodes in the following six months. Urinary tract infections are the most common bacterial infection amongst…

Early Immune System Development
The fetal and neonatal (newborn) periods are critical to the development of the immune system and many other biological systems. As the fetus and baby grow, a huge level of adaptation takes place and much of this structural and physiological development is now known to remain with us into adulthood. These changes are driven in…

Probiotics and the Immune System
Scientists estimate that 70% of our immune system is housed in the gut. This is a combination of our own immune cells, as well as the immune benefits provided by our beneficial gut bacteria. It is clear therefore that ensuring digestion and gut health are in good working order can have a positive effect on…

Probiotics and digestion
Most of us take our digestion for granted, and yet it is an incredibly sophisticated system that allows our bodies to extract energy and nutrients from everything we eat and drink. Digestion involves many different organs – from the brain to the liver via the stomach and intestines – and a complex interplay between them…

About the human gut microbiome
The human body (ecosystem) comprises 90% non-human cells. Most of the ‘life’ taking place in and on our bodies involves microbial organisms, collectively known as the human microbiome. This human microbiome is a collection of all the trillions of microorganisms that live on and in the human body – on our skin, in our mouths,…

What’s the difference between probiotics and prebiotics?
This is a question that we’re often asked. With such similar sounding names, many people assume that probiotics and prebiotics are one and the same, but there is a very subtle difference between them. One refers to the beneficial gut bacteria themselves, the other is the food that they need to thrive. So… which is…

What are probiotics?
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract houses a complex but fairly stable microbial population of more than 1,000 different species of microbes. Each of us has around 100,000 billion viable bacteria living in our intestines, weighing around 1.5kg in total and referred to collectively as the gut microbiome. The overall relationship of the microbiome to the…
