Microgenics Probiotic 35 Billion 60 Capsules
The human digestive system contains over 400 different types of bacteria. Very few beneficial bacteria are found in the stomach because of its high acidity; however, their number and variety increases substantially further down the gastrointestinal tract, and most are found in the large intestine.
Support gastrointestinal health and digestion
Probiotics can help support gastrointestinal health. Research shows that Bifidobacterium animalis can help improve bowel motions significantly within 1-2 weeks of use2, and that Lactobacillys casei can bring relief within 4 weeks3. Both strains are included in Microgenic’s Probiotics 35 billion.
Support a healthy immune system function
Approximately 70-80% of our entire immune system lives in the gut4. The lining of the intestines forms a barrier against microbes and other harmful substances, but is dependent upon probiotics to do its job. If probiotics aren’t present in sufficient numbers, then the lining of the intestines does not regenerate and microbes may enter our system, which can lead to many health problems.
There are several studies that show the importance of probiotics to protect us against microbial infections. In one study5, probiotics were shown to be beneficial to protect against viral infections, while two other studies showed that consumption of probiotics for a 12-week period could reduce the risk of getting the common cold in healthy individuals, and the duration and severity of those who attracted it 6,7. Another study showed that only 53% of participants who took a probiotic supplement got the common cold versus 80% of those who didn’t take it; and
that symptoms of the common cold lasted 3.4 days in those who took a probiotic supplement instead of 5.8 days.
