Bacteria Type Info
Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum and
Bidobacterium breve
provide temporary symptomatic relief of medically
diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
L. acidophilus, B. breve and Streptococcus
thermophilus
may provide temporary relief of diarrhoea.#
L. fermentum and L. rhamnosus have been clinically demonstrated to assist in the
maintenance of healthy urogenital ora.
Lactobacillus acidophilus CUL21 & CUL60,
Bidobacterium bidum CUL20, B. lactis
CUL34 (aka LAB4)
When taken daily, UltraBiotic IBS may provide
temporary relief of symptoms associated with medically
diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) within 2-6
weeks. UltraBiotic IBS may assist with the maintenance
of normal healthy intestinal ora during and following
antibiotic use, and may also provide nutritional support
for normal healthy immune function.
Lactobacillus Lactic acid bacterium that convert lactose and other
sugars to lactic acid. The acidic environment created
inhibits growth of some harmful bacteria. Lactobacillus
found in gastrointestinal tract and in vagina.
Bidobacterium Studies indicate children with atopic eczema have
reduced proportion of faecal Bidobacterium. Lactic
acid bacteria in gut convert lactose in breast milk
creating reduced pH and an environment that inhibits
gram-negative bacteria. The infant gut contains a high
consort of Bidobacterium.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) In the GIT, SB increases the production of secretory IgA
(slgA) and short-chain fatty acids, and the activity of the
brush border disaccharide digestive enzymes. It also
discourages the growth of harmful micro-organisms
and reduces digestive inammatory mediators.1-3
