The Gut Microbiome (or Microbiota, Microflora) that lives in our intestines plays a very important role as it 'digests' food and breaks it apart onto nutrients for our bodily processes. It is also our line of defence against harmful toxins that can affect our immune system. Taking probiotics - usually in the form of kefir or yogurt but also as a food supplement - to rebuild our microflora is a quite common practice, but it is also worth trying on a more regular basis. The microbiome may get damaged by traces of antibiotics in the food we eat, especially in meat and farmed fish, by the chlorine in the water we drink, by consuming too much sugar; many of us have also experienced diarrhoea as a result of stress - these are just a few. Our Probiotic Complex contains a blend of six different bacterial strains including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Streptococcus with added Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in an acid resistant capsules specially designed for optimal transit of the probiotics through the stomach. There are 2 sizes available: 60 and 120 capsules. The larger pack provides supply for up to 4 months (with a minimum dose of 1 per day).
