Probiotic-10 50 Billion - 50 Capsules - Now Foods

Healthy intestinal flora.

NOW® Probiotic-10TM 50 Billion is a dietary supplement that offers a balanced spectrum of live organisms composed of strains of probiotic bacteria that are resistant to gastric acidity and are known to naturally colonize the human gastrointestinal tract.

One of the therapeutic values ​​attributed to probiotic bacteria is the beneficial effect on intestinal disorders and infections. The intestinal epithelium plays a role as an immunological barrier, establishing the interface between the luminal contents (cavity) and the sub-epithelial immune cells. Any disturbance to this barrier leads to an increase in intestinal permeability and structural changes in the epithelium, which can lead to increased
the flow of antigens (molecules recognized as foreign by the immune system) and cause various types of inflammation.

The effective use of probiotics in these situations is justified, not only in the treatment, but also in the prevention of such changes:

• help control intestinal gas
• increase the resistance of the intestinal flora
• help in the remission of ulcerative colitis and in the prevention of the recurrence of an episode of Crohn's disease
• prevents traveler's diarrhea
• help to synthesize B vitamins, absorbed at the level of the intestinal tract
• improve the digestion of lactose (milk sugar)
• They maintain good functioning of the digestive system and the correct pH of the intestine, thus preventing the proliferation of putrefactive bacteria and fungi, such as Candida albicans.

The strains of probiotic bacteria present in this food supplement have been validated using a DNA fingerprinting technology (DuPont™ RiboPrinter®) that is capable of verifying the identity and potency of the probiotic bacteria before their introduction into the production line.
This method guarantees the identity, potency and purity of the bacterial strains used in the production of this dietary supplement, as well as helping to identify potential bacterial contaminants prior to production.

Quality: Probiotic Strain Verified supplements are NOW® probiotics whose probiotic strains have been analyzed and verified for identity using the state-of-the-art RiboPrinter® microbial characterization system. The Probiotic Strain Verified seal is your assurance that the bacterial strains in these NOW® probiotics have been verified using the latest analytical methods. With the RiboPrinter® system, NOW is able to test probiotics received as raw material for identity and potency before they are released for production. The RiboPrinter® identifies individual strains through DNA assay, the most accurate method currently available. Additionally, the actual potency of each individual strain is validated and confirmed prior to production, and again after the finished product is produced.
