This dairy–free formula provides 10 billion CFU of the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium lactis. Research indicates that these strains may have particular health promoting properties for gastrointestinal (GI) and immune health. L. acidophilus and B. longum have been shown to promote healthy cytokine production in the colon and maintain healthy GI barrier function.What Is It?
Each capsule of Probiotic-5 (dairy-free) provides 10 billion
CFU of 5 beneficial bacteria strains Lactobacillus
acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium
longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium
lactis. This formula combines lactobacilli and bifidobacteria
to promote gastrointestinal (GI) tract health and comfort,
immune cell function and overall health.*
Uses For Probiotic-5 (dairy-free)
G.I. Health and Comfort:
L. acidophilus and B. longum
have been shown to promote healthy cytokine production
in the colon and maintain healthy GI barrier function, in
part by supporting the mucosal lining of the GI tract.
Several trials have also revealed that mixed probiotic
supplementation helps maintain intestinal flora, support
healthy yeast balance, and promote GI comfort. A study
involving elderly individuals indicated that a mixture of
lactobacilli and bifidobacteria maintained healthy gut
ecology.*
Immune Cell Function:
Studies suggest that probiotics
support immune health, enhancing B cell, T cell and NK
cell function. A randomized, double blind, placebocontrolled
intervention study involving 479 adults
suggests that B. longum and B. bifidum promotes overall
health and T cell function. Another randomized, double
blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 25 elderly
volunteers suggests that B. lactis encourages immune
function by enhancing phagocytic capacity and activity.*
