Why are probiotic supplements needed after antibiotic treatment for an infection such as cystitis or sinusitis?

Those who suffer from recurring infections as cystitis, interstitial cystitis or sinusitis often are, have sometimes had mutliple courses of antibiotic therapy which has a very detrimental effect on normal healthy bacteria levels in the gut, respiratory and urinary tract. Whilst the antibiotic may well temporarily get rid of the infection that is causing sinusitis, cystitis or a bladder infection, in the long term the infection may return as you no longer have sufficient levels of your own probiotic bacteria, your internal 'soldiers' to prevent the build up of problematic bacteria such as e-coli which is often the cause of bladder infections and a number of bacteria responsible for sinus infections. Therefore, taking a probiotic will replace the lost beneficial bacteria and help reduce the likelihood or even prevent future infections of the bladder or sinus area.

Which probiotic to take?

We chose to offer Bio-Kult probiotic capsules to our customers, for a number of reasons. The antibiotics used to treat cystitis are often broad spectrum. Therefore it makes sense when trying to replace your friendly bacteria levels, to use a broad spectrum probiotic and BioKult is one of very few on the market like this. Bio-Kult is an advanced probiotic formula containing fourteen strains of beneficial bacteria. It is formulated specifically to help maintain a healthy gut flora, resulting in improved function of the Digestive and Immune Systems. It may not be the cheapest on the market, but it is high quality and each tub contains 120 capsules, so taking 2 per day, each tub will last you two months.
