The microbial ecosystem in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has emerged as a “virtual organ system”, with growing recognition of its diverse significance in both health maintenance and disease prevention. GI microbiota play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis of the innate and cell-mediated immune system and enhance intestinal barrier function through a number of mechanisms, including toxin metabolism, tight junction protein phosphorylation and inflammation reduction. Research has clearly shown the importance of intestinal bacteria not just for maintaining optimal gastro-intestinal health, but also for chronic and systemic health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
- A multi-strain blend which approximates the normal composition of intestinal flora and ensures balance to the entire intestinal tract
- Provides 8 human origin strains, 3 dairy, and 1 vegetable origin strain
- Each strain has specific inhibitive functions against pathogenic and putrefactive microorganisms throughout the entire GI tract
- Each strain is resistant to gastric acidity as well as high-bile concentrations
- High potency with at least 12 billion CFU per capsule at expiry date (guaranteed minimum 18 billion active cells at manufacturing date)
- Includes prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides) inulin to promote probiotic growth
