ProVen Probiotics Adult Acidophilus & Bifidus – 25 Billion is a high-strength friendly bacteria supplement for everyday use for adults aged 16+. Supported by a unique body of UK-based clinical research, the Lab4 live bacteria in ProVen Adult 25 Billion is the most comprehensively studied group of friendly bacteria in the UK. Each capsule contains 12.5 billion friendly bacteria along with key nutrients to provide additional support for digestion (calcium) and immunity (vitamins C and D, Zinc and Selenium).
Our digestive system (gut) is central to supporting our health – it contains more than 70% of the body’s immune system and 10 times more bacteria than we have cells in our whole body (the gut microbiome).
The microbiome is made up of many different species of bacteria, some of which are considered friendly and others termed pathogenic. The bacteria line the gut wall and help to stop toxins and harmful substances passing through the gut into the body – so ideally, we need a lot more good than bad. The ideal ratio has been estimated at 85% good to 15% bad bacteria and if this balance is affected it may lead to digestive symptoms such as bloating or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The stresses of our modern lifestyles have been shown to have an impact on reducing the levels of friendly bacteria and potentially give the unfriendly bacteria species a chance to become dominant. Stressors include a high sugar diet, alcohol, lack of or too much exercise, illness (especially food poisoning) and medications (particularly antibiotics).
