5 billion 'friendly' bacteria, like those found naturally in our bodies, to help maintain a healthy digestive system.
Healthy bowel and regular bowel movements, must be taken very seriously by everyone who is keen to maintain general good health. Probiotics are selected strains of beneficial living bacteria that have a proven positive influence on health. Some strains exist in bio-yoghurts that are available in supermarkets and healthfood shops. They must be taken daily or the improved colonisation of the gut will not be maintained. A healthy gastrointestinal tract is colonised by around 7 trillion 'friendly' bacteria that exert a number of vital beneficial functions:
a) The absorption of nutrients and participation in the synthesis of vitamins.
b) Protection against infections by resisting the colonisation of the gastrointestinal tract by harmful bacteria.
c) The stimulation of the body's own natural immune defences.
d) By helping to promote regularity, they help the body rid itself of toxins.
This Healthspan Probiotic is a blend of 3 specially selected probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell 52, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell 11 and Bifidobacterium Longum Rosell 175) which are all naturally present in the intestine. They have been carefully selected for their ability to inhibit the growth of disease causing bacteria, resist gastric acidity, colonise the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the body's natural defences.
The unique micro-encapsulation process also ensures that these 'friendly' bacteria are protected during the passage through the highly acidic conditions of the stomach. This means that they arrive 'alive' in the intestine where they are able to colonise and exert their beneficial actions. The unique robust probiotic bacteria in this Healthspan product do not require refrigeration.
