How It Works

The intestinal tract is home to billions of friendly bacteria (probiotics) that support digestion and bowel health, strengthen immune function, and help keep unfriendly bacteria in check.

The human body relies on a healthy level of probiotics for numerous functions, including metabolizing foods, absorbing nutrients, and maintaining a proper balance of intestinal flora.

Studies have shown that a healthy intestinal bacterial colonization may reduce the risk of food allergies in infants.

Researchers have also found that probiotics aid digestion.

However, antibiotics and poor eating habits can harm these friendly bacteria.

Bifidobacterium bifidum

Bifidobacterium bifidum helps strengthen immune function, supports digestion and intestinal health, and may help relieve symptoms of intestinal irritation and discomfort.

Bifidobacterium infantis

Bifidobacterium infantis is naturally acquired during childbirth and breastfeeding. It helps strengthen the gut barrier and plays a critical role in breaking down complex carbohydrates.

Bifidobacterium longum

Bifidobacterium longum secretes acids that help maintain a stable microbiological environment. These friendly bacteria also support healthy digestion and immune functions.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus

Lactobacillus rhamnosus enhances cellular immune responses and may help shorten the duration of occasional intestinal disturbances. Studies have shown that children age 1 to 6 years old who attended day care centers and were given milk containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus missed fewer days of day care than children not receiving the probiotic.

Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus produces certain vitamins and lactase and competes with other, less-friendly microorganisms for food and living space in the colon. L. acidophilus also enhances elimination and assists white blood cells.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus

Lactobacillus bulgaricus supports intestinal health and helps maintain balance in the gut microbiome. It may also help relieve the occurrence of loose stools associated with certain medications or food-borne digestive disorders.

Lactobacillus brevis

Lactobacillus brevis boosts immune function, supports healthy gums, and is especially beneficial for digestive health.

Lactobacillus plantarum

Lactobacillus plantarum enhances iron absorption, stimulates immune function, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. It may also help reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation such as stomach discomfort, gas and bloating.

Lactobacillus salivarius

Lactobacillus salivarius helps prevent the growth and spread of foreign invaders in the intestines. It is also important for dental hygiene and healthy immune function.

Lactobacillus casei

Lactobacillus casei supports healthy immune function and have been shown to reduce the frequency of certain intestinal disturbances in children.

Streptococcus thermophilus

Streptococcus thermophilus encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, strengthens gut barrier function, supports immune defenses, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and may help reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance by improving the digestion of milk.

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotics serve as food for the probiotics in the colon to help them thrive within the intestines. Clinical studies have shown that short- and long-chain fructooligosaccharides (FOS) may improve the growth of friendly microorganisms, enhance mineral absorption, support bowel health and function, and promote digestive function.
