The Role of Probiotics in Gut Health

Probiotics play a vital role in maintaining gut health by promoting a diverse and balanced microbiome. These live organisms have the ability to confer health benefits to their host, and their presence is crucial for optimal immune function and metabolism. Antibiotic use can disrupt the microbiome, leading to changes in neuroactive metabolites and increased susceptibility to heavy metal absorption. Probiotics, such as specific strains of bifidobacterium infantis, can help restore and rebuild the microbiome after antibiotic use. Additionally, probiotics have the potential to reduce the negative impact of pesticide exposure in bees by detoxifying xenobiotics, including neonicotinoid pesticides.
