The outstanding feature of our PROBIO FORTE capsules is the 40 billion cultures and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) from seaweed in a daily dose, which is an excellent food for beneficial bacteria. The product is manufactured with modern technology, the MAKTREK® Bi-Pass process, which helps to deliver beneficial bacteria to the intestinal tract for optimal impact on gut flora health.

Bacterial strains in the formulation

Lactobacillus acidophilus

The lactase enzyme it produces is necessary for the breakdown of lactose and milk sugar. It is also produced naturally and converts the lactose content in the ingested food into lactic acid.

Bifidobacterium Lactis

This bacterial strain is excellent at activating the body's immune response. The lactase enzyme it produces is necessary for the breakdown of lactose and milk sugar. It is also produced naturally and converts the lactose content in food into lactic acid. Various studies have shown that this bacterial strain can lower cholesterol levels more effectively than other strains.

Lactobacillus Plantarum

This beneficial bacterial strain is also known for stimulating the digestive system. It also plays an important role in the production of vitamins and kills the bacteria responsible for diseases.

Lactobacillus Paracasei

Optimally, this beneficial bacterial strain is found not only in the intestines but also in high concentrations in the mouth and vagina.

Important to know what your microbiome is

Have you never heard of it? No worries. You are probably already familiar with the word microbiome, which refers to microorganisms such as fungi, viruses, bacteria, and other organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. Together, these microbiomes have a critical impact on our body's health. Billions of them live in our bodies, most of them found on our skin and in our intestines.

Effects of the gut microbiome

• Guarantees a healthy gut flora.
• Regulates the immune system.
• Has a significant effect on the central nervous system.
• Regulates digestion.

Conversely, bad bacteria, fed by a high-carbohydrate diet, sugar, and sugar alcohols, cause a range of unpleasant symptoms: digestive problems, diarrhea, bloating. On the other hand, beneficial bacteria support the immune system, are beneficial for weight problems, have a positive effect on the heart, and are good for our health.

The health of the gut flora is also important for women as it is connected to the health of the vaginal flora. Disruption of the gut and vaginal flora often leads to yeast infections. We can do a lot to balance the good and bad bacteria through our lifestyle and diet.

Gut flora health

Our gut flora functions optimally when it successfully performs its functions: protects against foreign pathogens, maintains proper immune function, keeps the intestinal lining intact, supports nutrient absorption, protects against pathogens, and helps digest residual food.

Negative external and internal influences can disrupt the balance and cause bad bacteria to become dominant. Fungi, bacteria, and viruses can overgrow, causing minor to major problems. The key is to avoid this and try to maintain a healthy balance in your gut flora.

Factors affecting the balance of gut flora

If you are born via cesarean section instead of vaginally, you are already at a disadvantage because the vaginal flora cannot contribute to your health. The next disadvantage is caused by formula feeding instead of breastfeeding.

Throughout our lives, we suffer from various diseases and take different medications. It is good to be aware that antibiotics, steroids, antacids, contraceptives, and anti-inflammatory drugs can damage our gut flora. Unfortunately, chlorinated water, alcohol, coffee, acid-forming, oily foods can have the same effect. A varied diet rich in healthy foods and avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar is recommended instead of a one-sided diet. Instead, you should drink plenty of clean water and lots of vegetables to help your gut flora.

In addition to the unhealthy food we eat, stress, smoking, vitamin deficiencies, and lack of exercise can have a very negative impact on our gut flora. It is worth developing the right habits in our daily lives and avoiding the wrong ones.

Factors that improve the balance of gut flora

• Eating a complete, varied, fiber-rich diet.
• Eating fermented foods.
• Regular consumption of a dietary supplement containing various bacterial strains.
• Regular physical activity, aerobic exercise.

Research on PROBIO FORTE

Studies have shown that a blend of different bacterial strains, like the one found in PROBIO FORTE, can have a significant positive impact on gut health. A study published in the "Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology" indicated that the use of probiotic supplements can improve gut flora and thus support the immune system and digestion. Moreover, research has shown that fructo-oligosaccharides can function as prebiotics, nourishing the beneficial bacteria and enhancing their effectiveness.
