Vitable’s Daily Probiotics is a blend of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus to promote a healthy digestive system and immune function. This daily probiotic formula is designed to help restore and maintain friendly gut flora, supporting bowel regularity and providing relief from common digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and flatulence.

Digestion

  • Following and during the use of antibiotics, probiotics help restore digestive balance, maintain intestinal health and replenish digestive flora. Studies support specific probiotics are beneficial in lower gastrointestinal problems like intestinal gas (Hungin et al, 2018).

  • There is a strong association between probiotics and overall wellbeing with evidence associating probiotic use with a healthy digestive system function (Kechagia et al. 2013).

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus is able to change the population of microorganisms in the gut microbiota and control the functioning of the ecosystem in the gut to support optimal function and prevent degenerative diseases (Azad et al. 2018).

  • Bifidobacterium species, like Lactobacillus, can inhibit harmful bacteria, improve gastrointestinal barrier function and suppress proinflammatory cytokines (Azad et al. 2018).

Immunity

  • Evidence indicates some probiotic strains are capable of modulating the immune system at both the systemic and mucosal levels (Braun & Cohen 2015, 773).

  • Probiotic strains including L. rhamnosus taken alongside a course of antibiotics has shown to effectively decrease the incidence of related side effects (Braun & Cohen 2015, 775).

  • Probiotics modulate the intestinal immune system by production of secreted factors and metabolites that affect the growth and function of immune cells (Hemarajata & Versalovic, 2013).

  • Probiotics exert immunomodulatory properties contributing to a fast immune response (Paineau et al. 2008).
