Who would have thought that a collective of microorganisms could deliver wellness in giant proportions?

Probiotics are nature’s gift to health, and there is no better journey than self-care. By using probiotics as part of a personal daily wellness regime along with exercise and a healthy diet, for example, the positive contribution to an individual’s health can be highly beneficial.

There is no better gift to share with loved ones than the very best version of yourself. Probiotics can help you get there.

Probiotics are commonly taken with antibiotics to replace the natural bacteria that the medication damages during a course. But there is so much more to these powerful, natural organisms.

Willco Janse van Vuuren, Managing Director of Releaf Pharmaceuticals, said that the benefits of supplementing regular exercise and diet with probiotics can have a very positive impact on our overall health and well-being.

Releaf Pharmaceuticals offers a range of Probiotic products that include Releaf Probiotic Active 12-strain and Releaf Probiotic 12-strain.

According to Willco: “Probiotic supplements are beneficial because they can help to restore the balance of good bacteria in our gut, which can be disrupted by factors such as poor diet, stress, and antibiotic use. When the balance of good bacteria in our gut is disrupted, it can lead to a variety of health issues such as digestive problems, weakened immune system, and even mental health issues.”

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that live in our gut and play a vital role in maintaining a healthy digestive system. In recent years, research has shown that probiotics can also have a positive impact on mental health. The connection between the gut and the brain, also known as the gut-brain axis, is a complex and bidirectional communication system that can affect both physical and mental health.

If you feel better, and bear less of a weight on your shoulders due to an unwell gut, it may impact relationships and the way we interact interpersonally, said Willco.

According to Willco, probiotics can also improve overall health and quality of life, even to the extent that some relief is gained for people with autoimmune diseases and irritable bowel syndrome. He added: “There are benefits across the entire body, from improved skin health to benefits for your heart; it also improves the absorption of calcium for better bone health and gives immune systems a well-deserved boost.

However, just like in relationships, things work better in pairs. Good gut health needs more than just a probiotic supplement. It requires a commitment to exercise regularly.

Willco shared: “Regular exercise can improve gut health by promoting regular bowel movements and reducing inflammation. It can also help to improve the balance of bacteria, which can help to protect against certain gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, exercise can also help to reduce stress, which can have a positive impact on your gut health. It all works in tandem with one another to combine into a powerful wellness journey.”
