An excellent source & variety of friendly bacteria to help rebalance our microflora and provide optimum support for the digestive system Each Probio 7 Advanced Formula capsules contains 10 billion friendly bacteria Suitable for vegetarians, men, women and children over the age of 12 Not so long ago, most of us would have laughed off the idea of needing ‘friendly’ bacteria in our lives. Linked to dirt and illness, bacteria were considered to be nasty, unhealthy things to be avoided at all costs. How wrong we were Thanks to greater awareness raising, we are now only too aware how vital healthy gut flora is. What is in Probio 7? Offering a balanced combination of friendly bacteria, Probio 7 probiotics, each capsule containing 10 billion gut friendly bacteria colony forming units, or CFUs, can help rebalance our microflora and microbiome. Suitable for men, women and children over 12, the Probio 7 ingredients list includes eight specially selected bacteria strains along with two types of natural fibre – soy and chicory inulin – to nourish them. Why do we need so many different bacteria? Each bacterial strain in Probio 7 vegan capsules is selected to provide the best available support, effectively rebalancing our microflora. Each strain is acid-resistant, meaning the live friendly bacteria pass unhindered through the stomach to the small intestine, where we often need it most.
