Immune Support: prevent the overgrowth of potentially unfriendly bacteria in the gut with potent probiotics
The GI tract is the largest immune organ in the body, providing nearly 70% of the body’s immune function. The gastrointestinal tract performs the complex functions of digesting and absorbing nutrients into the body while acting as a barrier against harmful substances and eliminating them. This barrier and elimination function can be affected by bad diet, bacterial toxins, environmental toxins, emotional stress, a combination of inadequate supply of nutrients and increased absorption of undesirable elements in the bowel can lead to occasional irregularity, cramping, bloating and general intestinal discomfort.
Food allergies and sensitivities, ingested food toxins and processed foods as well as emotional factors that are perceived as "stresses" all play a role in altering gut function and immunity.
The health-enhancing friendly bacteria (Microflora) supported by ingestion of Probiotics, serve to prevent the overgrowth of potentially unfriendly bacteria in the gut by colonizing along the walls providing a bacterial barrier against unfriendly bacteria in the GI Tract. In addition the probiotic bacteria produces substances such as organic acids that nourish and strengthen the intestinal tissue, improving the barrier function. |
