Product Description
1 x Protexin Bio-Kult 30 Capsules
Why We Chose This Product
- This is a probiotic containing 2 billion live bacteria from 14 different strains per capsule.
- We all have hundreds of different bacterial strains in our gut.
- These microorganisms (collectively called the gut microbiota) play an important role in maintaining our overall health and well-being.
- Studies show that bacteria in our gut can influence our skin.
- Studies in eczema show that probiotic supplements can improve eczema inflammation. The effect is best in people over 12 months old.
- Probiotics can prevent eczema. The World Allergy Organisation recommends probiotics are given to pregnant women, breastfeeding women and newborns to prevent eczema in high risk children (eg if a sibling already has eczema).
- This supplement contains Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium which many of the studies investigated.
- These bacteria are cryoprotected to survive stomach acid and reach the gut
- Suitable for adults and children age 3 and over; pregnant people and vegetarians
- These capsules can be stored at room temperature
