CanPrev Pro-Biotik 15B 60 Veg Capsules:
Pro-Biotik 15B contributes to a natural healthy gut flora.
70 to 80 percent of the body's immunity resides within the gut! studies show that probiotics can help resolve the uncomfortable effects of bowel and intestinal upset and keep the gastrointestinal tract healthy. Digestive tract contains millions of beneficial bacteria to help with digestion and protect from invaders. If the bacteria population becomes depleted, there will not be enough friendly bacteria on the job to keep healthy - leading to issues like pain, cramping and diarrhoea.
Approximately 100 trillion microorganisms made up of more than 500 species already live in a normal, healthy colon. There is “good” bacteria as well as “bad”, but in order for them to work together, they need to be balanced. Lifestyle choices can throw the balance off - a poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, overuse of antibiotics - all can tip the scales and let bad bacteria take over. Good bacteria patrol the gut (gastrointestinal tract) and keep harmful microorganisms in line by helping with food digestion and nutrient absorption. They also play a role in maintaining a healthy immune system and synthesize vitamins and minerals.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, or live microorganisms, that work by colonizing the small and large intestines and inhibit the growth and activity of harmful organisms. They have been found to stimulate the immune system and enhance the absorption of certain nutrients. Research shows that certain strains can be helpful for restoring a healthy gut flora after the use of antibiotics and in cases of diarrhoea.
CanPrev’s Pro-Biotik 15B is a shelf-stable probiotic capsule formula containing five critical probiotic species naturally found in the human intestinal tract, including bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
