BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Your body needs good bacteria to help with detoxification, food digestion, waste removal, production of vitamins, and protection from harmful organisms. When the intestinal bacteria is imbalanced and unhealthy bacteria dominate, the body is less able to fight off infection resulting in inflammation. The individual strains used in ProBionic® and ProBionic® Plus are helpful for maintaining overall gut health.
The proprietary encapsulation used in ProBionic® and ProBionic® Plus allows healthy strains of bacteria to be delivered to the digestive system alive and undisturbed.1
