Probiotics
The intestinal tract has been established by health science as our immune system’s home and the barometer for overall health. Under excellent conditions, beneficial bacteria populate the small and large intestines to help immune and digestive functions remain in good shape. Growing evidence increasingly supports the theory that probiotic supplementation could benefit those with HCV for natural support.
Scientists believe 50 to 70 percent of immune cells in the body are in the intestinal lining, and some studies show that beneficial bacteria found in this area may improve the intestinal tract’s function, protect against pathogenic bacteria, maintain chemical balance, and protect the liver. While there’s no concurrent diagnosis for FLD in all HCV cases, the results have demonstrated probiotics to exert a protective effect in liver protection, which can significantly benefit those with the condition.
Researchers have also assessed the effects of probiotics on those with liver diseases. Their study’s results indicate that the intestinal flora’s manipulation should be considered a potential therapy in some cases of the condition, like individuals with cirrhosis. However, keep in mind that further research is needed to make definitive claims on whether probiotics are a viable treatment option.
