Traditional probiotic products have only one effect? ​​Director of the Department of Gastroenterology at the top three hospitals: Sanshengyuan is an innovative and better solution

Recently, the 2023 "Healthy People · Chinese Dream" sub-forum "Intestinal Microecology Health Technology Innovation Forum" hosted by Life Times was held in the People's Daily New Media Building in Beijing. Professor Wang Huahong, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology at Peking University First Hospital and member of the Standing Committee of the Enteral Nutrition Professional Committee of the Beijing Medical Association, also attended the forum. Professor Wang Huahong gave an in-depth interpretation of intestinal diseases and intestinal microecological health from a clinical medical perspective.

Diseases come from the mouth, a healthy intestine will lead to a healthy body

People often say "diseases come from the mouth". In the past, when people mentioned water and soil incompatibility, they thought it was related to the environment and diet. In fact, the essence is that external factors disrupt the microecological balance in the body, thus causing various gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms.

The number of intestinal microorganisms is more than 10 times the total number of human cells. When the intestinal microecology of humans changes due to diet, environment, etc., it may cause an imbalance of the flora, which in turn causes a variety of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms. Professor Wang Huahong said, "Diarrhea and constipation are the two most common clinical symptoms of intestinal flora imbalance. In addition, symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal distension and discomfort, and bad breath are also closely related to the imbalance of intestinal microecology.

Regarding the recent hotly debated controversy over the pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori, Professor Wang Huahong also expressed his own views, "There are beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria and intermediate bacteria in the human body, and Helicobacter pylori is a kind of intermediate bacteria. If the intestinal microecology is stable, the virulence of Helicobacter pylori will decrease, otherwise the virulence will increase. Maintaining a healthy and stable intestinal microecology plays an important role in controlling harmful bacteria."

Expert advice: How to choose a probiotic product that suits you?

At present, there are new compound products on the market that organically combine probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics - "Sanshengyuan", such as the first Sanshengyuan product "TheroNomic Sanshengyuan Capsules" certified by the Australian TGA (Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration). Compared with the single supplement formula of traditional probiotic products, "Sanshengyuan" improves the intestinal microecology from three dimensions of nourishment + replenishment + protection, which helps support nutrient absorption, maintain intestinal health, and strengthen the immune system.

There are so many probiotic products, how should ordinary consumers choose? Professor Wang gave several suggestions:

First, pay attention to the strain. It is best to contain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These two major probiotic families play more than 80% of the positive effects in the intestinal microecology. Songke Sanshengyuan contains 15 complex probiotic strains, 14 of which belong to Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium.

Second, high-quality prebiotics. As the "food" of probiotics, prebiotics cannot be digested by the human body, but they can promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial intestinal bacteria and thus promote human health. Some prebiotics with more complex fiber structures, such as Livaux® New Zealand Gold Kiwifruit Powder Prebiotics, can also increase stool volume and help speed up waste metabolism and excretion, and won the "Prebiotic of the Year" award in the global health industry.

Third, pay attention to the dosage. Clinically, the strain content is above 10 to the tenth power to be effective. Songke Sanshengyuan has added 20 billion and 5 types of heat-killed whole cell postbiotics on the basis of 10 billion active probiotic strains.

Professor Wang Huahong believes: "The emergence of postbiotics and ternary biotics has innovatively provided a better solution to the limitation of a single efficacy of a certain probiotic preparation."
