この記事の概要

In recent years, the impact of intestinal flora (gut microbiota) on overall health has become widely recognized. The balance of intestinal flora is involved in immune function, inflammatory response, and even skin and hair health. Taking probiotics is expected to improve intestinal flora and support recovery after hair transplant surgery. This article details the role of intestinal flora and the benefits of probiotics after hair transplant surgery.

The role of intestinal flora

1. Supports immune function

Your gut flora is closely linked to your immune system: healthy gut flora supports immune function and helps prevent infection and inflammation.

Activation of immune cells: Gut flora activates immune cells and strengthens the body’s defenses.

Controlling inflammation: Healthy gut flora helps regulate the inflammatory response in the body and reduce excess inflammation.

2. Absorption and synthesis of nutrients

The intestinal flora plays an important role in absorbing and synthesizing nutrients needed by the body.

Vitamin synthesis: Gut bacteria synthesize important vitamins, including B vitamins and vitamin K.

Nutrient absorption: Gut flora helps absorb nutrients from food, supporting overall health.

3. Stress and mental health

Gut flora is also known to affect stress and mental health.

Gut-brain connection: The gut and brain have a reciprocal relationship, and the balance of your gut flora also impacts your mental health.

Reduces stress: Healthy gut flora helps regulate stress hormones, contributing to stress reduction.

The Effects of Probiotics

1. Improves intestinal flora

Probiotics help balance your intestinal flora and maintain a healthy environment.

Increases good bacteria: Probiotics increase the good bacteria and improve the balance of your gut flora.

Suppresses harmful bacteria: Suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria and maintains intestinal health.

2. Strengthening immune function

Probiotics boost your immune system and support your body’s defenses.

Modulating immune response: Probiotics regulate immune cell function, helping to protect the body against infection and inflammation.

Anti-inflammatory: Probiotics have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce the inflammatory response.

3. Improved Nutrient Absorption

Probiotics aid in the absorption of nutrients and support overall health.

Vitamin synthesis and absorption: Probiotics aid in the synthesis of vitamins and increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption.

Improved Digestion: Probiotics improve digestive function, allowing you to effectively absorb nutrients from food.

How to take probiotics

1. Probiotic supplements

Supplements are an easy way to get probiotics.

Choose a supplement: Choose a probiotic supplement from a reputable brand. Check the product label for the strains and viable counts it contains.

Dosage: Take 1 to 2 times daily as directed on the product. It is also important to seek the advice of a doctor.
