Livestrong talks up the benefits for probiotics
Consumer understanding of the benefits of probiotics may receive a fillip following publication of a highly supporting article on Livestrong.com, website of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The article, which defines probiotics as “microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts that are commonly found amongst the natural flora of our intestinal and digestive tracts”, goes on to highlight six areas with science to support potential health benefits, including prevention of colon cancer, lowering of LDL cholesterol, boosting the immune system, benefiting sufferers of IBS, benefiting urogenital health, and alleviating lactose intolerance.
