Acidophilus Super Plus+ com prebiótico para um intestino mais calmo e equilibrado

Why take a probiotic supplement?

Taking probiotic supplements can be beneficial for certain individuals by promoting digestive health and overall well-being.  Just Vitamins Acidophilus Super Plus+ (20 billion) contains six carefully selected strains encased in a convenient capsule for enhanced probiotic effectiveness, and are ideal for those wanting to restore the natural balance of friendly bacteria in the system or for after a course of antibiotics.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms, often referred to as "good" or "beneficial" bacteria, that help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. There are many different bacterial strains, each offering their own unique properties. These bacteria live happily in our digestive system, sticking to the gut wall where they can colonise and function to the benefit of our health.

Probiotics are known to aid in maintaining a healthy digestive system by supporting the natural balance of gut bacteria. An imbalance, where harmful bacteria outnumber beneficial ones, can lead to disrupted digestion.

Why choose Acidophilus Super Plus+ ?

Primarily a probiotic supplement - Acidophilus Super Plus+ (20 billion) capsules provides 20 billion probiotic bacteria, alongside a supporting prebiotic base. Inulin used as the prebiotic base provides a favourable environment in which friendly bacteria survive, thrive and do their work.

Prebiotics serve as a food source for probiotics. Since prebiotics are not digested by the human body, they pass through the digestive system into the colon, where beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, ferment them. This fermentation process provides essential nutrients that help probiotics thrive and multiply, which enhances the overall population of good bacteria in the gut.

Our capsules contain six popular probiotic cultures - in particular Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis - both commonly used as probiotics. 

The effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most well-known and widely used probiotic bacteria, primarily found in the intestines, mouth, and female reproductive tract. It is often used in supplements and fermented foods like yogurt.

Lactobacillus acidophilus plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy digestive system. It helps break down lactose, the sugar in dairy products, into lactic acid.

Lactobacillus acidophilus contributes to immune health by supporting the gut’s microbiome, which plays a key role in immune defence.

The effects of Bifidobacterium lactis

Bifidobacterium lactis is a well-researched probiotic strain that offers several potential health benefits, particularly related to digestive health, immune support, and bowel regularity. It is a versatile and resilient strain, often found in probiotic supplements and fermented dairy products such as yogurt. 

One of the key roles of Bifidobacterium lactis is to support a healthy digestive system. It helps maintain a balanced gut microbiota by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Research is showing that Bifidobacterium lactis may play a significant role in supporting the immune system. By interacting with the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), this probiotic may help regulate immune responses.
