Probiotic-Pro12 · 12 Milliards

- A mixture of several strains which approximates the normal composition of the intestinal flora and ensures the balance of the entire intestinal tract.
- Provides 8 strains of human origin, 3 strains of dairy origin and 1 strain of plant origin.
- Each strain has specific inhibitory functions against pathogenic and putrefactive microorganisms throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
- Each strain is resistant to stomach acid and high bile concentrations.
- High potency with at least 12 billion cfu per capsule at expiration date (guaranteed minimum of 18 billion active cells at manufacturing date)
- Contains prebiotic inulin FOS (fructooligosaccharides) to promote the growth of probiotics.
The microbial ecosystem of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has become a “virtual organ system,” whose importance in maintaining health and preventing disease is increasingly recognized. The GI microbiota plays a critical role in maintaining innate and cell-mediated immune system homeostasis and improves intestinal barrier function through a number of mechanisms, including toxin metabolism, phosphorylation of tight junction proteins, and reduction of inflammation. Research has clearly demonstrated the importance of gut bacteria not only for maintaining optimal gastrointestinal health, but also for chronic and systemic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
Probiotics provide multifactorial benefits, modulating intestinal immune responses and intestinal barrier functions depending on strain and dose. Additionally, probiotic blends appear to be more effective than individual strains, perhaps due to synergistic activity or because individuals respond differently to various strains.
Probiotic-Pro12 contains 12 bacterial species, each of which has been chosen for its ability to resist stomach acid and high bile concentrations, as well as its benefits proven in clinical research, through individual mechanisms of action. High-quality lactic acid bacteria require considerable care at all times, so more than 20 rigorous quality control measures are implemented to ensure strain uniformity and product quality.
