ProB

ProB consists of probiotics, living microorganisms, usually bacteria or sometimes yeast, that have beneficial effects on health when consumed in sufficient quantities. These "good" bacteria mainly colonize the intestines and contribute to maintaining a balanced intestinal flora. They can help improve digestion, strengthen the immune system and promote healthy bowel function. Probiotics are commonly found in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and fermented soy products, as well as dietary supplements.

Scientific research has shown that probiotics can have various beneficial effects on health. They can help maintain a balanced gut flora and digestive system, strengthen the immune system and promote general well-being.

Specifically, probiotics can:

• Promote the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can contribute to healthy digestion and reduce digestive problems such as gas, bloating and constipation.
• A large part of the immune system is located in the gut. Probiotics can help strengthen the gut barrier and boost immune cells, increasing the body's ability to fight off pathogens.
• Lactose intolerance relief: Certain probiotics can break down lactose, which may help people with lactose intolerance better tolerate lactose.
  
• Probiotics may help reduce the damage to the gut flora caused by antibiotic use, which may lead to fewer antibiotic-related side effects such as diarrhea.
• There is some research that suggests there may be a link between gut health and mental health. Probiotics may play a role in this regard, although more research is needed to fully understand this.

It is important to note that the effects of probiotics vary depending on the specific probiotic and the individual.

Always consult a medical professional before taking probiotics, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking other medications.

ProB contains a total of 10x109 CFU of live bacteria:
Lactobacillus helveticus 3.5x109 CFU*
Lactobacillus rhamnosus 2.5x109 CFU*
Bifidobacterium longum 2x109 CFU*
Lactobacillus paracasei 2x109 CFU*
40mg of vitamin C

The human body contains nearly 2 kg of bacteria and other microorganisms. These can be found on literally every surface of our skin and in our organs, including the stomach, mouth and intestines. (1)

About a third of this is common to all humans, but the other 2/3 is variable in composition, just like the pattern of our fingerprints. (1)

The whole of these bacteria is called the microbiome, and the number of microbes that make up the microbiome is about ten times greater than that of our own cells. (1)

The adult human organism contains nearly 100 trillion bacteria, with at least 1000 different species, producing nearly 3 million genes, 150 times the human genome. (1)

These figures show the importance of the microcosm in which we live. So important, in fact, that in recent decades the importance of the microbiome-gut-brain axis has been recognized (1)

The most common bacteria in the gut are bifidobacterium and lactobacillus species, which are also extensively studied in microbiology (1)

These bacteria are taken orally and attach to the gastrointestinal tract to coexist closely with the human body as members of the normal gastrointestinal flora.

Scitec Nutrition's ProB product contains four strains of live bacteria found in the human gastrointestinal tract, as well as 40 mg of vitamin C.
