Spring is a time when we start a new beginning, such as enrolling in school, moving, or finding a job, and it is a time when our bodies tend to become sensitive as they adapt to the changed environment. Add to this the rapid temperature changes, such as large daily temperature differences during the change of seasons, and your immunity will also weaken.

Decreased immunity means that the body’s ‘immune balance’ collapses. In order for our body to remain healthy, it is most important that the functions of immune cells that regulate immune responses are balanced. When immune cell function decreases, various inflammatory reactions ranging from colds to cancer occur. Conversely, when immune cell function is excessive, allergic diseases such as atopy, asthma, and rhinitis occur.

What should we do to protect our body’s immune balance? We need to change the intestinal environment where 70% of immune cells exist. The intestines, also called the ‘second brain’ in Oriental medicine, are the front line of the body’s immunity, and intestinal health is directly related to immunity. In particular, cell regeneration in the intestines is slower than in other organs, so regular maintenance is essential.

‘Postbiotics’ are effective in improving the intestinal environment

The easiest way for modern people to manage their intestinal health is by consuming lactic acid bacteria. However, because general lactic acid bacteria are weak to heat and acid, the probability of reaching the intestines alive is less than 2%. This is why we do not see much effect even if we try various lactic acid bacteria products.

These days, ‘postbiotics’, which safely reach the intestines without being affected by stomach acid or bile acids generated during digestion, are attracting attention as the next generation of lactic acid bacteria. The reason for consuming lactic acid bacteria is because of the ‘effective substances’ released by the lactic acid bacteria upon reaching the intestines, and postbiotics refer to the core ingredients themselves produced by the lactic acid bacteria.

While general lactic acid bacteria have to wait to reach the intestines and produce effective substances after ingestion, postbiotics act immediately after ingestion, so immediate intestinal improvement effects can be expected. Another advantage is that it can be taken at any time, such as on an empty stomach or after a meal.

Before choosing, you should check whether the raw materials and manufacturer are trustworthy.

‘Lactobacillus nomads’ will always be concerned about which postbiotic to choose among the numerous products on the market.

Experts agree that when choosing postbiotics, it is most important to check whether the product is made based on ingredients individually approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. This is because the effects of consuming postbiotics can be guaranteed as the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has recognized the safety and functionality of the raw materials. It would be icing on the cake if the raw material was registered in an internationally recognized SCI-level paper or by the U.S. FDA.

You also need to check if it is a trustworthy manufacturer. In particular, it is important to consider the company’s history of lactic acid bacteria research. Like Ildong Pharmaceutical, which introduced Korea’s first lactic acid bacteria product and has been researching intestinal health for 80 years, the longer the company has been in business, the more likely it is that it will have abundant clinical data and technical know-how on intestinal health.

In addition, it is necessary to check whether the product is trustworthy by comparing the patentability of the manufacturing process and the results of human application tests. Recently released postbiotic products such as ‘GQ Lab’ are postbiotics concentrated by a whopping 4,000% using the patented Tyndall method, and contain 10.8 billion cells of lactic acid bacteria metabolites, known to quickly and effectively help improve intestinal health. .
