We know about the negative manifestations of the changes of intestinal microflora: impaired absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals; accelerating the process of aging; decrease protective properties of the organism; deteriorating for comorbidities and even create preconditions for their development (e.g., atherosclerosis, cancer, etc.); delayed growth and development in children. This is not a complete list of the negative consequences of dysbiosis.
Microflora and the permeability of the small intestine
So what is the benefit of the normal microflora of our body?
1. The microflora provides the synthesis of a number of vitamins
Yes, the microflora provides the synthesis of a number of vitamins (b and K), the biologically active hormone-like substances (the most interesting agmatine substancehaving insulin-like activity) in sufficient concentration to influence various processes in the body.
2. Microflora is a source of nutrients
Microflora is a source of nutrients, releasing them into the lumen of the intestine where they are absorbed into the blood and are involved in metabolism.
3. Creates conditions for the normal processes of digestion
Microflora creates conditions for the normal processes of digestion and absorption in the intestine not only nutrients, but water is one of the factors which maintain normal tone of the intestine.
4. Promotes the excretion of biologically active substances
Microperspective the excretion of biologically active substances, steroid hormones, intermediates of metabolism, which in high concentrations can cause intoxication.
5. Microflora participates in the training of immune system cells
Microflora participates in the training cells of the immune system that intensifies the protective properties of the skin and bronchial mucosa.
6. Prevents the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
