The WHO definesprobiotics as “live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host” (16). These bacteria or yeasts primarily support the equilibrium of our gut microbiota (17-19). A number of them also confer benefits for immunity and other aspects of human health (20).

In fact, the use of ‘good bacteria’ in nutrition is nothing new. For centuries, humans have enjoyed fermented foods (beer, sauerkraut, kefir, yogurt ...). Lactic fermentation actually extends the life of certain products and endows them with particular properties … because it is effective at controlling bacterial growth.

The Russian scientist Elie Metchnikoff, in observing the long lifespan of yogurt-loving Bulgarian peasants, was one of the first to realise that certain lactic acid bacteria promote good gut and immune health. Indeed, he was awarded the Nobel prize in 1908 for his work on the subject.

In the 1970s, the Japanese professor Tomotari Mitsuoka recommended oral administration of beneficial microorganisms (probiotics) for regulating balance of the gut flora. His book Intestinal Bacteria and Health (1978) remains a major reference in the field. Today’s scientists continue to follow his lead in exploring the benefits of various existing strains.

But how exactly do you produce a probiotic? You first have to select a strain from a certified list. Once the strain has been cultivated, you obtain a biomass which is passed through a centrifuge to isolate the bacteria. This is freeze-dried to ensure the survival of as many microorganisms as possible, then ground into a powder and either encapsulated or packed into sachets.

It’s also worth noting that all these compounds act on several markers of your overall physical condition. They will help you achieve a healthy inner balance:

• Vitamin B6 plays a fundamental role in transporting minerals across cell membranes. It supports nervous system function and stimulates the formation of red blood cells (56-58).
• Collagen peptides strengthen ligaments and muscle density and improve the condition of joints (59-60).

Daily Beauty will thus help you achieve a firm, toned and healthy body. And with virtually no effort on your part.

2 capsules a day

To benefit from the supplement Daily Beauty, you only need to take 2 capsules a day, at any time of day. The capsules come in blister packs so you can take them out with you - there’s no need to carry the whole box and no risk of damaging them by leaving them in the open air.

You simply need to take one vegetarian capsule of Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula a day.

We recommend taking this broad-spectrum probiotic in the morning with a glass of water, before you have breakfast.

Alongside supplementing with this probiotic, we’d suggest taking these additional steps to support your intestinal system, immunity and skin:

• eat a varied, balanced diet, the key to good digestion, strong immunity and a radiant complexion (21-22) ;
• stay well-hydrated, as water facilitates intestinal transit;
• make sure you get enough sleep(at least 7-8 hours a night), because even just one sleepless night is enough to weaken the immune system by reducing the number of certain white blood cells (23) ;
• take regular breaks, as stress and overwork impair intestinal transit and immunity, and accelerate skin ageing (24-25) ;
• take regular, moderate exercise as it activates the digestive organs, optimises the circulation of antibodies and promotes the elimination of skin impurities, blackheads and acne through perspiration (26-27).
