OptiBac Probiotics For Those On Antibiotics (10 Capsules)
What's it for? To be taken during and after an antibiotic course to maintain healthy balanced levels of friendly bacteria
Who's it for? Anyone who is taking a course of antibiotics (which kill off both the harmful and beneficial bacteria in the gut).
For people who are currently taking antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin, tetracycline, doxycycline), or have recently finished an antibiotic course, For those on antibiotics is designed to maintain a healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract during and after the antibiotic course.
The normal balance of friendly bacteria in our gut is fragile and can easily be disturbed by factors such as stress, diet, ageing, and medication (e.g. antibiotics). For those on antibiotics promotes a healthy balance of good bacteria, thereby supporting health, digestion and immunity for patients taking antibiotics.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 a natural component of the friendly bacteria in the intestines; the species is one of the most studied in the probiotic world. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 has been proven to resist bile and gastric acidity over pH 3 therefore if taken at mealtimes (when pH is around 4), it will pass through the stomach without being damaged. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 is able to bind strongly to the intestinal cells and helps maintain a strong immune system.
Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 a natural resident of the intestinal microflora; this strain of friendly bacteria has been well studied to survive the gastric acids and bile salts expected at mealtimes and to reach the intestines without damage. In addition, L. acidophilus Rosell-52 can adhere to the cell wall lining of the intestines and exert beneficial effects in terms of inhibiting intestinal pathogens and supporting immune cells.
