Probiotic For daily wellbeing EXTRA Strength
This advanced formula from OptiBac Probiotics contains 5 well-researched probiotic strains, such as L. acidophilus and B. bifidum, in an extra strength dose of 20 billion live microorganisms per capsule.
The human body is naturally home to both good (probiotic) and bad (pathogenic) bacteria, and keeping a healthy balance is important for good digestion and immunity. However, the body's intestinal balance of probiotics and pathogens is delicate, and can easily be upset by factors such as antibiotics, stress, ageing, and diet. For this reason, many people like to replenish their levels of good bacteria with a high quality probiotic supplement.
People with a severe imbalance of good and bad bacteria in intestines may include: -
-
Those on long term antibiotics
-
Those who suffer from conditions such as IBS, or IBD (eg. Crohn's Disease)
-
People with skin conditions such as eczema or acne
-
People with busy lifestyles
The probiotic strains in For daily wellbeing EXTRA Strength are some of the world's most researched and best documented strains.
