Good bacteria

There are 100 trillion good bacteria inside our digestive tract. Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are the two main genera, each having different properties. Once ingested, to exert their effect, microorganisms need to survive the environment in the upper GI tract and colonize in the lower intestines and colon. Good bacteria strains in our formula (L. acidophilus and B. lactis) are selected for their resilience and ability to survive the harsh conditions in the stomach and duodenum.

S. salivarius 

S. salivarius is a live bacteria considered the first colonizer of the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. Discovered by Louis Pasteur in 1879, S. salivarius is a spherical, non-spore forming anaerobic organism. It settles in the oral cavity and throat a few hours after birth and produces many substances, but the main metabolites are salivaricins.

Fructooligosaccharides

​​Fructooligosaccharides are low-calorie, non-digestible, soluble short-chain fibres which can be found in some fruits, vegetable and grains. After being consumed, FOS move to the large intestine, where they serve as food for good bacteria.

*Vitamin D

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin for healthy bones, muscles and teeth, and for supporting a normal immune function. Since the discovery of the Vitamin D receptor expressed by almost all cells of the immune system, its role in the function of immune system behaviour and interactions has received increasing attention. Though there are natural sources of Vitamin D, they are limited only to a small number of foods. And since the body creates Vitamin D from cholesterol in the skin only when it’s exposed to the direct sunlight, it’s important to maintain the levels of Vitamin D through additional supplementation.
