As you’d expect, the benefits of Nexba’s Probiotic Sparkling Waters are pretty much about the probiotics. But what are probiotics exactly? And what do they do?

Let’s start with the fact that our bodies contain trillions of live bacteria. Now, if you’re thinking, ‘But wait… aren’t bacteria the bad guys?’, you might be surprised. Yes, some types can cause problems. But in other cases, some of them can actually be good for us.

For example, some beneficial bacteria help us to digest the food we eat and then extract all the nutrients from it. They also help our bodies to create important vitamins, keep our immune systems strong and do a whole bunch of other useful stuff.

So, what’s all this got to do with probiotics? Well, another name for those good bacteria is ‘probiotics’. Think of them as ‘good gut buddies’. They grow in our intestinal tracts, helping us to maintain a bacterial balance that’s good for both our digestive systems AND strong immune defences.

Beyond that, probiotics have been linked to a range of health benefits, including:

• supporting gut health
• improving immunity
• lowering cholesterol
• reducing eczema symptoms
