Sugar and digestion don’t mix:
DTECTA Probiotics solve
the digestive dilemma
The amount of sugar in everyday groceries, such as cereals and
soups, has doubled over the last three decades. This alarming trend
is set to continue, leading to a rise in problems such as diabetes,
obesity and an unhealthy imbalance of bacteria in the gut.
It is becoming widely known that a daily dose of “friendly”
(probiotic) bacteria is needed to correct the balance of “bad”
bacteria in the gut, in order to restore healthy digestion and
regularity, boost immunity, improve energy and aid general
wellbeing. The number of people taking probiotics in the UK is
increasing with an estimated 1 in 10 households drinking
probiotic yoghurts but, in doing so, they could also be loading
up on sugar and contributing to the initial problem, given that
sugar causes “bad” bacteria to multiply. A daily probiotic drink
can contain up to 18g of sugar, which is more than some
regular soft drinks, and the number of probiotic bacteria that
actually reaches the gut is difficult to measure.
DTECTA probiotics is the only clinically-trialled probiotic
range in the UK that uses specific strains of probiotics and
specific formulations of strains to reach all areas of the
intestinal tract with live, friendly bacteria. OptiBac Probiotic &
Prebiotic, from DTECTA, is an everyday way to maintain
digestive health, with a daily dose of capsules delivering five
billion live beneficial bacteria right where they are needed.
Studies show that in gaining healthy digestion, strong
immunity and improved energy, ‘a spoonful of sugar does not
help the medicine go down’. OptiBac Probiotic and Prebiotic
is an ideal alternative to sugar-laden probiotic products, and
an ideal supplement to combat the effects of our increasingly
available from all good grocery and health food stores
sugar-laden diets.
