7 Great New Probiotic Formulas
Posted on by Paula Gallagher
Beneficial bacteria are critical to a healthy digestive and immune system, but more and more research is showing that these good bacteria may have a hand in preventing and controlling a surprising number of health conditions in people of all ages. Your digestive tract is filled with hundreds of bacteria – some good and some bad. In a normal digestive system, the good and bad bacteria strike a careful balance to keep you healthy. However, a healthy balance can easily become unbalanced with poor food choices, antibiotic use and illness.
Studies have shown that certain probiotics can play a role in reducing the development of allergies in children, decreasing Helicobacter pylori colonization of the stomach, helping patients cope with side effects of antibiotics, managing relapse of some inflammatory bowel conditions, decreasing the risk of certain cancers, decreasing microbes that cause dental caries in the mouth, and keeping healthy people healthy.
Clinical Benefits of Probiotics
Gastrointestinal Health
Probiotics have a beneficial effect on specific pathologic conditions. Many studies support the use of probiotics for digestive health. Probiotics may also help prevent traveler's diarrhea and antibiotic-related diarrhea.
Immune System Health
Beneficial bacteria keep pathogens (harmful microorganisms) in check, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, and contribute to immune function.
Candida: Beneficial bacteria such as L. acidophilus and other strains of bacteria may help to keep candida yeast in check. Probiotics help to keep candida from over-colonizing in the digestive tract.
Mental Well Being
Research shows that the gut and brain are connected and it is called the gut-brain axis. Research has found that probiotics may help boost mood and cognitive function and lower stress and anxiety.

Choosing a probiotic can be challenging, but Pathway has introduced 7 new probiotic supplements tailored to specific needs.
