Udos Choice Adults Blend Probiotics - 60 Vegicaps
For adults between 15-50 years old.
Udo's Choice Adult's Probiotic Blend is formulated with a viable count of specially chosen bacterial strains especially beneficial for an adult's healthy intestinal flora.
This powerful therapeutic formula:
Guarantees twelve billion viable organisms of beneficial bacteria (at time of manufacture ) - that are absolutely essential for proper digestion, strong immune function and over-all health.
The specific strains used in Adult's Blend have been specially chosen for their value to adult health - and have been formulated to the viable count appropriate for adults for daily maintenance.
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are the beneficial, friendly bacteria that occur throughout the digestive tract. Poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress and disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable bacteria to multiply.
Why do we need probiotics?
When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. Whilst it is true that non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract problems begin when their growth goes unchecked.
Probiotics play an especially important role in keeping in check the pathogenic bacteria that cause disease. A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85% friendly bacteria to prevent the over colonisation of disease causing micro-organisms like E.coli and Salmonella.
The Adult's Blend contains:
1. Lactobacillus casei: a bacteria commonly used for milk fermentation and has also shown to be helpful in treating diarrhoea caused by antibiotics and viruses.
2. Lactobacillus rhamnosus: one of the most important probiotic strains for the health of the adult digestive tract from the mouth to the small intestine. Especially beneficial in inhibiting the bacteria involved in vaginal and urinary tract infections.
3. Lactobacillus acidophilus: one of the most prominent micro-organisms found in the small intestine. It produces lactic acid which inhibits yeast growth, as well as natural antibiotics which enhance immune functions.
4. Lactobacillus plantarum: from vegetable origin and found in the intestinal tract, it has beneficial anti-microbial activities.
5. Streptococcus thermophilus: a transient probiotic from dairy origin. Producing large quantities of lactic acid, it limits the growth of unfriendly bacteria and helps in the prevention and treatment of diarrhoea.
6. Bifidobacterium bifidum: found primarily in the large intestine. As a producer of B vitamins it helps the body in the completion of its digestive process, specifically in the absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium and other vitamins and minerals.
7. Bifidobacterium breve: colonises the large intestine and is a producer of lactic and acetic acids that inhibit the growth of undesirable bacteria. It enhances immune responses against various pathogenic antigens and has been shown to repress the growth of ulcer-inducing bacteria.
8. Lactobacillus bulgaricus: a transient strain from dairy origin that carries important protective functions on its way through the intestinal tract.
Udo's Choice Adult's Blend probiotics:
- Improve digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats - taking the strain off the digestive system and ensuring vitality and bowel regularity and relieving symptoms of gas and bloating.
- Enhance the immune system - by favourably altering the gut microecology and preventing unfriendly organisms from gaining a foothold in the body.
- Fight and prevent yeast and fungal infections - such as candida, thrush, vaginal yeast infections and athlete's foot, by establishing a large, healthy population of friendly bacteria that compete against the bad bacteria.
- Reduce lactose intolerance - by breaking down lactose and producing the enzyme lactase.
- Restore good intestinal flora following a course of antibiotics - immediately recolonises the beneficial gut bacteria that are destroyed by antibiotics.
- Are formulated to address lower bowel conditions, abnormal cell division, bacterial infections and cholesterol levels - especially important as today's modern diets compromise lower bowel health.
