I believe many people have this experience. Whether you go to the supermarket by yourself, with your mother, or with your children, you will get yogurt and lactic acid bacteria drinks from the freezer, which must be regarded as nutritious food. Eating and supplementing lactic acid bacteria has become the subconscious of Chinese people, and these foods are also marked and produced in this way.

But do you really know about lactic acid bacteria? Are probiotic-related foods on the market really probiotics? Does it still work?

We can follow Bian Xiao and see how professional organizations define probiotics. Act as a little knowledge officer and interpret it.

According to the latest definition of probiotics in International Probiotics and Probiotics Science Association 20 14, probiotics refer to "living microorganisms that can give health benefits to the host when applied in a sufficient amount.

We can see the main points:

First of all, adequate intake of probiotics, such as adequate intake, is the reason why we usually say that we are not picky eaters, have diversified diets and are full, not to mention partners who don't like dietary fiber, dairy products and fruits, and they really suffer a big loss. Usually you can pay attention to eating more apples, kelp, aloe and so on. You can also find relevant information and foods rich in probiotics to improve your diet.

On the other hand, according to the experimental methods in the existing literature, most of the indicators used to evaluate the effect of prebiotics are: the proliferation effect of beneficial bacteria (such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus); Inhibition of harmful bacteria (such as Fusobacterium) and non-proliferation of potential pathogenic bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Bacteroides, etc.). ); Acid production and gas production after metabolism of intestinal flora. Prebiotics of different functional oligosaccharides (isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO): fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), xylooligosaccharides (XOS), lactulose oligosaccharides (SOS), soybean oligosaccharides (inulin), etc.) all belong to the category of prebiotics.

This is a little interesting again. Prebiotics must be "alive". Some yogurts and probiotic drinks have a shelf life. During their storage, the number of viable bacteria will continue to decrease, so be sure to pay attention to the shelf life. In other words, if we ingest "live" prebiotics, it will contribute to physical health and intestinal health.

Duoyanshou focuses on the new product "live enzyme jelly", which advocates eating real prebiotics and taking "live" prebiotics, which other related products can't do. But also meets the requirement of "sufficient quantity" and contains six prebiotics. Prebiotics have the characteristics of soluble dietary fiber and promote intestinal absorption and fat metabolism. Supplemented 2 1 kind of vegetables and fruits in the product.
