7 probiotics approved in my country

The seven probiotics approved in my country are: Lactobacillus fermentum, Bifidobacterium animalis, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium lactis. This is the "List of Bacteria that Can Be Used in Infant Food" issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

The National Health and Family Planning Commission stipulates that only these seven types of probiotics can be used in infant food. Parents must be sure to identify them when purchasing probiotic products.

When purchasing probiotic products, pay attention to the production date and shelf life. Choose those with a fresh date. The closer to the shelf life, the fewer live bacteria there are.

Probiotics, also known as beneficial active microorganisms, have the characteristics of being intolerant to gastric acid and bile salts, inhibiting pathogenic bacteria, and being able to eliminate or reduce the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions About Probiotics

1. What effects do probiotics have on the human body?

⑴ Prevent or improve diarrhea: Poor eating habits or taking antibiotics will disrupt the balance of the intestinal flora, thus causing diarrhea. Supplementing with probiotics can help balance intestinal flora and restore normal intestinal pH, thereby relieving diarrhea symptoms.

⑵Relieve symptoms of lactose intolerance: Lactobacillus can help the body break down lactose, relieve diarrhea, bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms, and can be consumed with milk.

⑶Preventing reproductive system infection: Lactobacillus acidophilus in yogurt and Rekafo antibacterial spray can inhibit the reproduction of Candida albicans in the vagina. This has been confirmed by a double-blind controlled trial conducted in Europe. The results showed that the incidence of reproductive system infection was greatly reduced when patients supplemented their bodies with 10ml of active probiotics every day. Long-term supplementation of active probiotics can help repair the microcirculation of the reproductive system.

⑷ Enhance human immunity: There is a very developed immune system in the intestines. Probiotics can stimulate the immune function in the intestines and adjust the low or high immune activity to a normal state. The immune regulation effect of probiotics is also believed to help fight cancer and inhibit allergic diseases.

⑸ Promote the health of the intestinal digestive system: Probiotics can inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria in the intestines, reduce toxins, promote intestinal peristalsis, thereby improving intestinal function and improving bowel movements.

⑹ Lower serum cholesterol; The Caucasus Mountains in Europe and the Mediterranean coast are famous longevity towns. Locals often drink homemade yogurt and rarely suffer from diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. A large number of scientific studies have confirmed that this is related to the probiotics rich in yogurt. These probiotics can lower serum cholesterol levels. In addition, long-term supplementation of probiotics can also help prevent bone loss and prevent osteoporosis.

Can babies take probiotics for a long time?

It is best not to take it for a long time. Although probiotics have a dual effect on regulating diarrhea and constipation in the baby's stomach and intestines, the commonly used probiotics are limited to one to three strains with good clinical treatment effects, while the beneficial strains in the intestines are far more than these, and they need to be self-adjusted through a normal diet. Therefore, if the baby does not have digestive tract problems, there is no need to take probiotics for a long time. It is only necessary to take it during the baby's illness, poor digestion, and gastrointestinal problems. The baby does not need to continue taking it at present.

At the same time, pay attention to a balanced diet, which is more conducive to the cultivation of normal intestinal flora. It should be noted that if the baby's stomach and intestines have always been weak, then after taking probiotics regularly for a period of time, it is advisable to reduce (that is, gradually reduce the amount until it is stopped) to give the intestines an adaptation period.
