Seeking Health 'sProBiota Bifidobacterium is a dietary supplement containing a total of 12million selected strains of Bifidobacterium bacteria per capsule.
Bifidobacteria are found in large numbers primarily in the small intestine, on the mucosa of the colon and in the genitourinary tract. They take care of the proper intestinal microflora by eliminating pathogenic microorganisms and support the production of lactic acid and acetic acid helpful in restoring proper intestinal balance.
The product is ideal for people with histamine intolerance. Studies show that bacterial strains from the Bifidobacterium group do not cause excessive histamine secretion, which can be observed when using probiotics containing strains from the Lactobacillus group.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live cultures of microorganisms that take care of the balance of the intestinal microflora, fighting pathogens and microorganisms that interfere with proper intestinal function. A given bacterial strain is considered probiotic when it is isolated from the human body, shows resistance to low pH of the stomach and digestive juices, affects the overall health of the body and does not allow pathogenic bacteria to nest in the mucosa of the digestive system.
ProBiota Bifido contains the following bacterial strains in its composition:
Bifidobacterium bifidum - they nest in the largest amount in the large intestine and vagina affecting its proper pH. Known for its beneficial properties eliminating harmful bacteria, e.g. E.coli, Salmonella, Colstridium. Increases the absorption of vitamins and mineral salts from food, e.g. calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium. Recommended for frequent and severe diarrhea caused by antibiotic therapy, digestive problems in adults and children and intestinal diseases.
Bifidobacterium longum - strain finds its use after the end of antibiotic treatment, as it has strong properties that rebuild normal intestinal microflora and stimulate the immune system to fight viruses, pathogens and microorganisms. It soothes gastrointestinal irritation and helps the digestive system tolerate lactose.
Bifidobacterium lactis - support the defense mechanisms of the immune system by stopping viruses and microbes from attacking. They support the production of vitamins formed in the intestines, e.g. vitamin K and B vitamins, as well as the anti-inflammatory interleukin 10. They support adequate glucose-insulin metabolism and help maintain tolerance of lactose-containing dairy products.
Bifidobacterium breve - relieve gastrointestinal complaints, i.e. bloating, gas, abdominal pain and constipation. Especially recommended in celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis and chronic diarrhea. Prevents the proliferation of Candida fungi in the gastrointestinal tract.
Mechanisms of action
Bifdobacterium strains produce hydrogen peroxide and short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which nourish the colon epithelium by increasing the absorption of nutrients from food and eliminating the symptoms of imbalance between good and pathogenic bacteria.
It has been proven that a healthy intestinal state strongly affects the proper functioning of the immune system. Through the good condition of the intestinal microflora, the immunity of the body increases, which better copes with the fight against viruses, fungi and yeast responsible for the formation of many diseases of civilization, as well as helping to rebuild the physiological flora disrupted by the use of drugs and antibiotics.
Gut-brain axis
It is often said that there is a strong correlation between a healthy gut and properly functioning brain function. Neurons located in the gut are connected to the brain via the vagus nerve, which sends information directly to the central nervous system. Adequate intestinal microflora is very important for the stress response, which takes place via the HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis). A proper balance of bacteria is responsible for the body's response to environmental stressors.
In addition, 80% of serotonin, commonly known as the happy hormone, is produced in the gut, and only 20% in the brain. Adequate serotonin levels counteract depression, anxiety, and allow for better mood and sleep quality. Good intestinal microflora also influences the production of arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid responsible for the proper functioning of the brain and the development of the nervous system, including the processes of neurogenesis - the processes of formation of new nerve cells.
In summary, ProBiota Bifidobacterium is a comprehensive dietary supplement containing carefully selected strains of Bificobacterium bacteria that take care of the proper intestinal microflora, which directly translates into the proper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. Bifidobacterium bacterial strains do not induce histamine activity, so the supplement is especially recommended for people with histamine intolerance.
