ProBiota Bifidobacterium | 60 Capsules (Formerly Bifido)

ProBiota Bifido by Seeking Health provides 12 billion CFUs of seven extensively researched Bifidobacterium strains that reside primarily in the mucosal lining near the terminus of the small intestine, as well as in the colon and the genitourinary tract. These specific Bifidobacterium strains may assist in creating a balanced intestinal environment by crowding out unwanted or harmful bacteria and producing acetic and lactic acids that may help inhibit the growth of unfriendly flora.It is sometimes said that immune health begins in the gut. Special tissues in the gut make up more than 60% of the body's overall immune support. The strains of probiotic bacteria in ProBiota Bifido produce lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other fermentation products that may help support the body's natural defences against harmful bacteria, yeast and viruses. These probiotic species may also help support the immune system by competing with unwanted or harmful bacteria for nutrients and space for colonization. They also produce short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) which nourish the colon.ProBiota Bifido is contained in acid-resistant capsules for optimal delivery to the colon, and is free of prebiotics to support those who are sensitive to specific starches and fibres. Because this product is made up of exclusively Bifidobacteria, it may be ideal for those who have concerns about the potential histamine-producing activity of certain strains of Lactobacillus bacteria.
