A healthy digestive system contains a healthy balance of ‘friendly’ and ‘unfriendly’ bacteria. They are constantly in competition. Certain factors such as poor diet, stress, ageing and antibiotics can increase ‘unfriendly’ bacteria or decrease the concentration of both ‘friendly’ and ‘unfriendly’ bacteria, resulting in digestive tract problems and compromised immunity. Restoring a healthy bacterial balance in the gut is important to calm digestive complaints such as bloating, flatulence, diarrhoea and constipation.
HealthAid® UltraProbio™ helps to supplement your diet by replenishing the ‘friendly’ bacteria, support the immune system and assist in the absorption of nutrients within the gut by providing a superior blend of 100 billion special strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (live cultures), using 14 different acid and bile-resistant strains. This ensures that the bacteria are not destroyed by the stomach juices before they reach the intestines. Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic, has been added to help support the growth and survival of ‘friendly’ bacteria in the intestinal tract.
