A Better Vitamin?

I have recently started taking "Multibionta", which is the first multivitamin/probiotic combination on the market.  Probiotics are the "good" bacteria that is essential to gut health.  The balance of bacteria in the gut has been connected to many maladies, including allergies and asthma.  By ingesting probiotics, which are perfectly safe, one can restore the gut microflora to their proper balance.

One of the biggest factors that can upset gut health is antibiotics.  Recent research has shown a relationship between the use of antibiotics and the development of allergies and asthma.  A diet high in simple carbohydrates can also upset the gut balance.  Ingesting good bacteria, either through fermented foods like yogurt or through probiotics, can help restore order.

Probiotics have recently been shown to be effective in reducing allergies and asthma in children.  In addition, one study also shows probiotics can reduce allergic symptoms in adults.  Multibionta is manufactured in the UK, but US buyers can get them from their American distributer: www.sevenseasusa.com
