什麼是益生菌？

益生菌是存在於體內的天然微生物，對人體有益，故被稱為「益菌」。當益生菌數量充足，便能為整體健康帶來諸多益處，對改善消化系統健康更有顯著功效1。 腸道微生物間的平衡非常脆弱1，而益生菌在維持及重整此平衡中擔任至關重要的角色。它們能有效治療腹瀉，長期維持腸道健康2,3,4，並能預防抗生素所引致腸道菌群失調的併發症5。

益生菌的類型6

以細菌為菌株：

  • 雙歧桿菌
  • 乳酸菌

以酵母為菌株：

  • 布拉酵母菌

了解您的腸道微生物群

人類的腸道中居住着數以兆計的細菌、真菌及其他微生物7，這些腸道菌群就像身體的小助手 — 想像它們每天不分晝夜地「工作」，只為確保您的身體保持健康。

然而，以下因素會輕易破壞腸道菌群的平衡8,9，包括：

  • 病毒
  • 服用抗生素
  • 慢性疾病
  • 壓力
  • 大幅改變飲食習慣
當腸道微生物群失衡或變得不健康時，便會嚴重影響整體健康10，引發各種健康問題。

  • 短期影響：腹瀉、脹氣、腹脹或便秘11
  • 長期風險：肥胖、過敏等12,13
