Good vs. bad bacteria. Feed your friends. Not the enemies.
⚖️ Good vs. bad gut bacteria - who actually lives there?
✅ Good gut bacteria - Your inner helpers
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
- Supports your immune system and has an anti-inflammatory effect
Lactobacillus plantarum
- Helps regenerate the intestinal mucosa and strengthens the barrier function
Bifidobacterium longum
- Promotes the formation of short-chain fatty acids (such as butyrate) and helps with irritable bowel syndrome
Akkermansia muciniphila
- Keeps the intestinal wall healthy and regulates inflammatory processes
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
- One of the most important "health markers" in the intestine,
produces anti-inflammatory butyrate
👉 These bacteria like: plant fibers, bitter substances, a variety of vegetables, rest -
and of course: BALLAST MATERIALS.
❌ Unfavorable intestinal inhabitants - when they get out of hand
Clostridium difficile
- Can cause severe diarrhea and intestinal inflammation
Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Produces mucus and toxins, promotes silent inflammation
Pathogenic E. coli strains
- Can cause flatulence, pain and infections
Candida albicans (yeast fungus)
- Increases with sugar consumption, weakens the intestinal barrier, promotes skin problems
Proteus mirabilis
- Associated with histamine intolerance, ammonia formation and leaky gut
👉 These "enemies" like: sugar, white flour, additives, chronic stress and antibiotics without compensation.
🍃 What your microbiome really loves
You don't have to eat perfectly. But you can consciously look after your microbiome every day.
Here are 5 simple things you can do today:
1. colorful food - plant-based and varied
30 different plant-based foods per week are ideal for diversity in the microbiome.
2. add soluble fiber
Good bacteria love inulin, acacia fibers, resistant starch & co.
BS Plus contains a combination of 11 natural ingredients - designed to feed the good bacteria.

3. incorporate fermented food
Sauerkraut, miso, kimchi, kefir - living foods with natural bacterial diversity.
4. reduce sugar - stress too
Both weaken your intestinal flora. Small changes make all the difference in the long term.
5. drink plenty of water - but at rest
Dietary fiber only works with liquid. 1.5-2 liters a day is ideal.
💡 Conclusion: look after your friends - not your enemies
Your microbiome determines how you feel - whether you have energy, get skin problems, fall ill or glow.
And you decide who lives and grows there.
👉 Feed the good ones every day.
👉 Give your gut what it loves.
👉 And feel your body coming back into balance.
A healthy gut is not a trend - it is the basis for your well-being.
