Doctor's Best Probiotic, Gluten Free, Vegan, 20 Billion Cfu, 30 Veggie Caps

Ingredients:

Doctor’s Best ProbioticTM supplies six strains of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus probiotics, bacterial families with solidly established benefits for digestive and whole-body health. This product provides genetically well-defined strains to help maintain healthy bacterial balance in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, promote healthy digestive and excretory function, and enhance healthy immune function in the body as a whole.

Probiotics are defined as 'live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host'.1 The human body is actually an ecosystem in which probiotics obtain shelter and food and the individual derives health benefits from their presence. This mutually beneficial relationship is called symbiosis. Dietary supplementation with proven probiotics can positively influence this symbiosis and thereby promote good health.2

For probiotic dietary supplements, the common practice of mixing together several bacterial species is not sufficient to guarantee the consumer will benefit. Recent research using DNA sequencing and other sophisticated analysis has identified multiple strains for individual bacterial species, each with its own DNA profile and unique capability to help or hurt its human host. The strains used in this product have samples deposited in the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Bacteriology Collection.3 This global bioresource center facilitates periodic verification of strain identity, and other quality control to ensure users of the probiotic product that its benefits are preserved over time.

Benefits:

Numerous Actions That Support Healthy Digestive and Excretory Function.

Healthy probiotic balance in the GI tract is continually vulnerable to assault. Poor diet, emotional stress, harmful chemicals, negative lifestyle factors such as smoking or drinking, and overweight all can deplete probiotics from the GI tract.2,4 Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria can benefit their human hosts by diverse biological actions, which include:

Converting undigested dietary fiber into energy for their own use.5

Generating butyrate, vitamin K and other nutrients that nourish the intestinal lining.6,7

Positively influencing the intestinal antioxidant defenses.8

Supporting the structural integrity of the delicate intestinal lining.9,10

Improving intestinal motility to move contents for excretion.11

Promoting healthy immune system vigilance in the GI tract.2
