Probiotics have gradually entered thousands of households. Whether raising cats or dogs, many parents will prepare probiotics, and even highly praised them: they use it for cats to have diarrhea, cats also use it for constipation, cats still use it if they don’t eat, and now probiotics are also added to cat food.
For cats with fragile stomachs, probiotics have been used as a "magic medicine". But are probiotics really that good? Then let’s talk about this kind of thing in detail!
1. What are probiotics?
Probiotics are a group of microorganisms that are beneficial to the intestines and are harmless bacteria. When they enter the intestine, they will inhibit harmful bacteria and maintain the balance of intestinal flora. Although bacteria cannot cure diseases, most gastrointestinal tract damage will lead to a reduction and loss of bacterial activity, so eating probiotics will be effective.
2. What are the functions of probiotics?
1. Increase gastrointestinal motility and help cats fully digest and absorb nutrients from food.
2. The intestine is also an immune organ. The intestinal flora can improve cats' immunity and avoid being infected with various diseases.
3. Provide cats with a variety of beneficial substances, such as vitamins, amino acids, amylases and other digestive enzymes. It can promote the digestion and absorption of protein and enhance appetite.
4. Assist in recovering the gastrointestinal problems of cats and protecting intestinal health
3. Will there be any dependence on long-term use?
Cats' ancestors will replenish probiotics by eating their prey's intestines after hunting. Foods consumed daily can maintain the normal reproduction of these probiotics. If the disease affects the disease, the number of probiotics cannot proliferate. Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement probiotics. Therefore, there will be no dependence on probiotics for a long time.
Probiotics are not drugs. It is a microorganism that can reproduce and die in the body. There are many probiotics supplemented at one time, and the excess probiotics will be excreted with the stool and will not accumulate in the intestines.
So probiotics are really not the so-called IQ tax, their existence is definitely reasonable~
