It is safe, gluten-free and can be taken daily to help achieve a balanced digestive system. It contains no preservatives, colouring agents or synthetic sweeteners. It is a combination of lactobacillus, bifidobacillus and streptococcus strains.
The strains increase the absorption of minerals, provide antitoxic and antimicrobial protection, have a positive effect on the immune system, act against inflammation, prevent the binding of pathogens to the epithelium.
Η intestinal microflora is very important for our health because it is able to:
- fights pathogenic bacteria through a mechanism of competition and production of antibacterial substances (bacteriosin, H2O2, lactic acid, etc.),
- produces short-chain fatty acids, the most important nutrition for intestinal cells,
- produces vitamins (K, B1, B6, B6, B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, etc.) that play an important role in various metabolic reactions.
- regulate the maturation of innate and adaptive immune responses (80% of the immune system is located in the gut).
Many different factors can affect the balance of the gut microflora: diet, lifestyle, stress, climate, travel, ageing, use of antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents, kidney or liver disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, radiation.
An altered balance of the intestinal microflora causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, excess gas, bloating, changes in bowel habits, such as harder, looser or more urgent stools than normal.
