Probiotics are on everyone's lips. Foods, medicines and even drinks are advertised as containing bacteria that are good for health and general well-being. Probiotics are considered to be the key to regular digestion, a strong immune system and clear skin.
The her1 powder mixture Inner Beauty contains 25 billion natural probiotic bacteria per daily dose: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum. Lactobacteria and bifidobacteria occur naturally in the human Gut and support your intestinal function and your skin as a high-dose food supplement.
In this article you can find out the most important connections between digestion and bacteria and why taking probiotics is worthwhile for your health and your skin.

1 What is the microbiome?
It's hard to believe: our Gut is home to trillions of bacteria. The entirety of these tiny organisms is known as the intestinal flora or microbiome and plays a central role in our metabolism, our immune system and our overall well-being.
A person's intestinal flora is almost as individual as their fingerprint: the microbiome is made up of at least 500 to 1,000 different types of bacteria and is constantly changing. Lifestyle and diet influence intestinal colonization, as does treatment with drugs such as antibiotics.
2 What is the function of intestinal bacteria?
Intestinal bacteria perform a variety of functions in the human body: they help to digest our food and break it down into nutrients. They stimulate our immune system and prevent the growth of disease-causing microbes. They also produce the vital B vitamins B2, B7 (biotin), B9 (folic acid), B12 and vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting.
We feel particularly good when our intestinal flora is in balance. However, if "bad" intestinal bacteria or fungi, such as Candida Albicans, get out of hand, digestive problems, allergies, intolerances, autoimmune diseases or even psychological problems can occur. Problems with digestion often also show up on the skin: when the Gut is on strike, pollutants are increasingly excreted through the skin, causing blemishes.
3 What are the special features of lactobacteria and bifidobacteria?
Lactobacteria and bifidobacteria are probiotic bacterial strains that occur naturally in large numbers in the human Gut and have a major influence on our health. While lactobacteria colonize mainly in the small intestine, bifidobacteria are found more frequently in the large intestine.
Both belong to the lactic acid-producing bacteria and are therefore among the most important inhabitants of the human intestine. They not only aid digestion, but also strengthen both the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa and the immune system. The lactic acid they produce keeps the intestinal environment acidic, making it difficult for disease-causing bacteria such as salmonella, coli or putrefactive bacteria to multiply.
4 What effect do probiotics have?
Certain foods can support the balance of bacteria. Dairy products or fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, kombucha or miso paste, naturally contain "good" lactic acid bacteria. However, high doses of probiotics are far more effective than the right diet in noticeably improving the harmony in Gut : a daily dose Inner Beauty contains 25 billion CFU (colony-forming units), roughly the same amount of probiotic microorganisms as 2.5 kg of yoghurt.
Probiotics are microorganisms whose intake has a positive effect on our health. The term 'probiotics' is made up of the Latin 'pro' = 'for' and the ancient Greek 'bios' = 'life'. The decisive factor here is that the ingested bacteria survive the journey through the aggressive stomach environment undamaged in order to be able to colonize and multiply in the Gut .
5 What is the importance of prebiotics?
Probiotic bacteria multiply best when the right food is available to them. So-called prebiotics allow the microbes to grow and thrive. These are dietary fibres or indigestible carbohydrates that are found in plant-based foods in particular. The ideal nutrient for lactobacteria and bifidobacteria is inulin, which occurs naturally in Jerusalem artichokes, agave and chicory.
The Inner Beauty-powder mixture contains three probiotic bacterial strains whose positive effect on digestion has been shown in many studies. In addition to Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum, the formula also contains certified organic inulin from agave and fiber from peas, baobab and strawberries to promote the growth of the bacteria in Gut .
