"Many doctors say that a quality probiotic supplement is as important to your health as a multi-vitamin. This book talks about Probiotics (beneficial bacteria), which maintain the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and help us maintain healthy cholesterol levels."

"Probiotics-the friendly bacteria that reside in your gastrointestinal tract-are your body's first line of defense against the potentially harmful microorganisms you inhale or ingest. In Probiotics, Natasha Trenev explains the importance of these bacteria in achieving and maintaining good health. Included is an A-to-Z list of illnesses and disorders that can be prevented or corrected with proper probiotic supplementation."

"Studi terkini menyatakan bahwa terdapat sebuah kelompok mikrobiota, yang dapat memberikan efek menguntungkan bagi kesehatan manusia. Kelompok ini dikenal dengan sebutan probiotik. Probiotik didefi nisikan sebagai mikroorganisme hidup, non patogenik, yang bila diberikan dalam jumlah mencukupi, dapat memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi pejamunya. Pemberian probiotik dapat mengubah komposisi mikrobiota di usus. Berbagai sediaan probiotik mempunyai peranan untuk dapat mencegah berbagai kelainan maupun menyembuhkan sejumlah penyakit. Probiotik telah menunjukkan berbagai manfaat di dalam hal melegakan konstipasi, mempercepat penyembuhan diare, menurunkan resiko kanker kolorektal, menormalkan status nutrisi, dan mengurangi gejala-gejala sindrom usus iritabel, infl ammatory bowel disease, serta intoleransi laktosa. Namun, manfaat-manfaat terkait penggunaan probiotik tersebut bersifat strain spesifi k. Oleh karena itu, untuk dapat memberikan manfaat kesehatan, probiotik harus diberikan dengan menggunakan regimen dosis tertentu untuk masing-masing strain probiotik, berdasarkan studi klinis yang adekuat. Meskipun pada umumnya probiotik bersifat aman, namun pemantauan yang cermat perlu dilakukan pada penggunaan probiotik untuk pasien lansia.

AbstractRecent studies have reported that there is a group of microbiota, which have been shown to bring benefi cial effects on human?s health. They are called probiotics. Probiotics have been defi ned as live, non pathogenic microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefi t on the host. The administration of probiotics can change the composition of the gut microbiota. Several probiotics preparations seem to have a role in the prevention of certain diseases as well as treatment of various conditions. Probiotics have been shown to be helpful in relieving constipation, promoting recovery from diarrhea, reducing the risks of colorectal cancer, normalizing nutritional status, and improving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, infl ammatory bowel disease, and lactose intolerance. However, the benefi ts associated with probiotics are strain specifi c. Therefore, the use of probiotics to confer health benefi ts should indicate the dosage regimens of each probiotics strain, based on adequate clinical trials. Although probiotics are generally regarded as safe, careful monitoring should be performed on the use of probiotics in the elderly patients."

This extraordinary book gives an industry insider's view on what dietary supplements are, how they are made and regulated, why certain formulations are more effective than others, and what scientific research tells us is safe and effective, entry by entry."

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan konsumsi pangan probiotik pada mahasiswi Program Studi Gizi Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Indonesia tahun 2011. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan menggunakan desain studi cross sectional dan pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan cara sampel jenuh pada mahasiswi Program Studi Gizi seluruh angkatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan konsumsi terakhir pangan probiotik pada > 4 minggu lalu sebesar 37,4%, disusul oleh responden yang mengonsumsi pangan probiotik pada < 2 minggu lalu yakni 34,6%, konsumsi 2-4 minggu lalu sebesar 27,9%. Pihak yang menganjurkan konsumsi adalah inisiatif sendiri yakni 86,3%, sebagian besar mengaku merasakan manfaat dari konsumsi probiotik yakni 56,9%, tidak melihat saran/petunjuk pemakaian produk yakni sebesar 72,1%, dan responden mengkonsumsi dua merek produk pangan probiotik sebesar 50,3%. Rata-rata skor pengetahuan responden mengenai probiotik adalah 38,84 poin dari skor maksimal 80 poin. Sebanyak 44,7% memiliki uang saku Rp.0-Rp 500.000, memiliki skor aktivitas fisik 0,7184, tidak memiliki riwayat konstipasi dalam satu bulan terakhir sebesar 83,1%, dan memiliki rata-rata frekuensi keterpaparan media promosi mengenai probiotik sebanyak 29,15 kali dalam satu bulan. Hubungan yang bermakna hanya ditemui pada variabel aktivitas fisik (p=0,016), sedangkan variabel lainnya tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan yakni hubungan konsumsi pangan probiotik sebagai variabel dependent dengan pengetahuan (p=0,173), besar uang saku (p=0,695), riwayat konstipasi dalam satu bulan terakhir (p=0,915), dan media promosi probiotik (p=0,833) sebagai variabel independen. Dibutuhkan penelitian lanjutan pada kelompok usia yang berbeda dengan penambahan variabel penelitian seperti kebiasaan makan.
