Antibiotics are a group of medications that are prescribed to treat bacterial infections. They may not only eliminate harmful bacteria but also the good bacteria that live in our gut. This may lead to a “dysbiosis” or imbalance of natural flora in the digestive tract. Unless beneficial bacteria are re-introduced into the intestinal tract other organisms have the opportunity to grow and proliferate. Beneficial species of bacteria are involved in supporting the normal defences of the gut by helping to regulate our immune function at gut level. Problems can frequently appear following antibiotic therapy that are caused by toxins produced by unfavourable bacteria in the intestinal tract. Besides the elimination of good bacteria, long-term use of antibiotics may cause other essential nutrients to be depleted. Taking a natural product designed to replace good bacteria and depleted nutrients alongside prescribed medication represents a positive interaction between pharmaceutical medication and natural supplements. Nutrients Depleted by Antibiotics: Antibiotics deplete Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin K and the beneficial probiotic bacteria that inhabit the small and large intestine.
Vitamins are supplementary to and not a replacement for a balanced diet. Always read the label and use as directed.
