Bioclinic Naturals Probiotic-Pro12 12 Billion Active Cells 60 Veg Capsules - Gluten Free

The microbial ecosystem in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract has emerged as a “virtual organ system”, with growing recognition of its diverse significance in both health maintenance and disease prevention.1 GI microbiota play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis of the innate and cell-mediated immune system and enhance intestinal barrier function through a number of mechanisms, including toxin metabolism, tight junction protein phosphorylation and inflammation reduction.2 Research has clearly shown the importance of intestinal bacteria not just for maintaining optimal gastrointestinal health, but also for other chronic and systemic health conditions.Probiotics have multifactorial benefits, by modulating gut immune responses and intestinal barrier functions in a strain and dose-dependent manner. Additionally, mixtures of probiotics appear to have greater efficacy than single strains, perhaps because of synergistic activity or because individuals react differently to various strains.7,8,9,10 Probiotic-Pro12 contains 12 bacterial species, each chosen because they can withstand both gastric acid and high bile concentrations, and for their proven benefit in clinical research, mediated via individual mechanisms of action.
