A dairy-free blend of key probiotic bacteria to support immune and gastrointestinal health.
This dairy–free formula provides 10 billion CFU of the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium lactis.
Research indicates that these strains may have particular health
promoting properties for gastrointestinal (GI) and immune health. L. acidophilus and B. longum
have been shown to promote healthy cytokine production in the colon
and maintain healthy GI barrier function, in part by supporting the
mucosal lining of the GI tract. Several trials have also revealed that
mixed probiotic supplementation helps maintain intestinal flora, support
healthy yeast balance, and promote GI comfort. A study involving
elderly individuals indicated that a mixture of lactobacilli and
bifidobacteria maintained healthy gut ecology. Studies also suggest
that probiotics support immune health, enhancing B cell, T cell and NK
cell function. A randomized, double blind, placebo–controlled
intervention study involving 479 adults indicates that B. longum and B. bifidum
promote overall health and T cell function. Another randomized, double
blind, placebo–controlled clinical trial involving 25 elderly
volunteers suggests that B. lactis encourages immune function by enhancing phagocytic capacity and activity.
Probiotic–5 (dairy–free) is a
high–strength blend of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria to promote GI
tract health and comfort, immune cell function and overall health.
