Probiotics Supplement s Group Ѵ Table of contents 01 Definition & 02 Roles Types & Uses Of Probiotics 03 Common Questions & Examples 01 Definition & Roles What are Probiotics? Probiotics are live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. Although people often think of bacteria and other microorganisms as harmful “germs,” many are actually helpful. Many of the microorganisms in probiotic products are the same as or similar to microorganisms that naturally live in our bodies. What Is The Role Of Biotechnology In Manufacturing Probiotics? Biotechnology plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of probiotics, which are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. Here are several key aspects of how biotechnology contributes to this field: 1- Strain Selection & 2- Fermentation 3- Formulation and Genetic Engineering: Technology Delivery Systems A- Strain Isolation: Biotechnology A- Optimized Fermentation Processes: A- Microencapsulation: Biotechnology techniques are used to isolate and Biotechnological methodologies help enables the development of identify probiotic strains with optimize fermentation conditions (pH, microencapsulation techniques that beneficial properties, such as temperature, nutrients) to maximize the protect probiotics from environmental Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. growth and activity of probiotic stresses and improve their survival rates microorganisms. during storage and passage through the B- Genetic Modification: Genetic gastrointestinal tract. engineering can enhance specific B- Scale-Up Production: Advanced B- Novel Delivery Systems: Innovations traits in probiotic strains, such as fermentation technologies allow for the such as using food matrices or functional increased viability, resistance to large-scale production of probiotics in foods enhance the delivery of probiotics, gastric acid, or enhanced health bioreactors, ensuring consistency and ensuring they reach the intestines benefits quality. effectively. Biotechnology is essential in the entire lifecycle of probiotic manufacturing, from strain selection and fermentation to formulation, quality control, and research. This integration of biological sciences and technology enhances the efficacy, safety, and accessibility of probiotic products, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes. 02 Types & Uses Of Probiotics What Are the Most Common Types of Probiotics? The most consumed probiotics are species of two main genera. These genera are also the most studied of probiotics: Bifidobacteria Lactobacillus This genus of bacteria is This genus of bacteria produces commonly used in foods and lactase, the enzyme that supplements. They’re thought breaks down lactose, or milk to: sugar. These bacteria also 1- support the immune produce lactic acid.

It also serves as bacteria in the intestine. muscle fuel and increases the 3- help break down lactose body’s absorption of minerals. into nutrients the body can Lactobacillus bacteria are use. found naturally in the mouth, small intestine, and vagina. Common species of probiotics Probiotic species are genetic subtypes of genera. Each probiotic species has a different effect in the body. You will see the probiotic species names on food or supplement labels, combined with the genus name. For example, the Bifidobacteria or Lactobacillus genus are often abbreviated as B. or L. and combined with the individual species name, such as acidophilus. This gives you the probiotic L. acidophilus. This is how the name will appear on food or supplement labels. Here are six common species of probiotics that you’ll find on food and supplement labels.

For example, some people say they have helped with: 1-Skin conditions, like eczema 2-Urinary and vaginal health 3-Preventing allergies and colds 4-Oral health 03 Common Questions & Examples Who Can Use Probiotics? Anyone can take a probiotic: Children - youth – adults. Children from 1 month old. Can Probiotics Be Used Over Prolonged Periods Of Time? Whilst there may be a few exceptions to this rule, the general answer is yes, it's safe, and usually recommended, to take them daily. It's important to understand that probiotics are a natural supplement and not a medicine. There are also some situations where certain strains can be taken for a short time, such as: 1-After Antibiotics: Taking probiotics for a couple of weeks after completing an antibiotic course can help replenish healthy gut bacteria that antibiotics may have wiped out. 2-Traveler’s Diarrhea: Starting probiotics a few days before travel and continuing for a short period can help prevent digestive issues caused by exposure to new bacteria. 3-Digestive Upset: For minor gastrointestinal issues, like bloating or mild constipation, a short course of probiotics (usually a week or two) can help restore balance in the gut. 4-Seasonal Allergies or Colds: Taking probiotics for a few days at the onset of symptoms might help reduce the severity or duration of colds or allergies by supporting immune function.
