In the food and pharmaceutical industries:
Probiotics easily adapt to the conditions in which they are in. In the body, they easily colonize the gastrointestinal tract, improving the functioning of the digestive system mucosa. They do not produce toxins and are resistant to conditions found in the stomach (low pH). They support the immune system, digestion, treatment of colic and kidney stone disease. They will also prove useful in the treatment of liver diseases and irritable bowel syndrome. It has been proven that probiotics can fight Helicobacter pylori bacteria, the main cause of stomach ulcers.
In the cosmetic industry:
The use of cosmetics with bacterial strains supplements microflora and provides benefits for the skin. Probiotics protect the skin against the negative influence of unwanted bacteria and external factors by creating “active protection”.
In cosmetics, they can be used to treat inflammation, rebuild the protective barrier, accelerate wound healing, and moisturize, smooth, and regenerate the skin. Additionally, probiotics can smooth out wrinkles, which makes them a great ingredient of anti-aging products. Probiotics accelerate the healing of irritated skin and support epidermis regeneration as well as the treatment of acne lesions. They can be used in products for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, and mature skin or skin with visible inflammation and imperfections.
