Uses For Probiotic 50B

G.I. Health: Probiotics have been shown to promote healthy cytokine production in the colon and maintain healthy GI barrier function, in part by supporting intestinal epithelial integrity. Several trials have also revealed that mixed probiotic supplementation helps maintain intestinal flora, support healthy yeast balance, and promote GI comfort.*

Immune Cell Function: Clinical studies indicate that Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria supplementation supports healthy immune response and inflammatory balance. Probiotics may enhance B cell, T cell and NK cell function, phagocytic capacity and activity, and healthy cytokine production.*

What Is The Source?

Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115), Lactobacillus acidophilus (DDS-1), Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04) and Bifidobacterium longum (Bl-05) are grown on a dairy-free soy-free medium. Pure Encapsulations probiotic products contain a unique form of rice starch produced through a natural enzymatic process. This proprietary starch has been extensively tested and is added to protect the viability of the probiotic organisms. Gellan gum is derived from Pseudomonas elodea.

Special Features

Probiotic 50B is offered in new acid-resistant capsules with pH targeted release. These capsules are designed to resist disintegration in an acidic environment (i.e. stomach) and dissolve in more alkaline environments (i.e. small and large intestine). This technology helps to protect the organisms from stomach acid, delivering the maximal viable organisms to the GI tract.

Recommendations

Pure Encapsulations recommends 1 capsule daily, with or between meals.
