Probiotic for a balanced Flora. A combination of 6 Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium plus Fructo Oligosaccharides. 7 sachets of 10g. 4 billion live bacteria per sachet. Our gut contains approximately 400 different species of bacteria. A healthy digestive system depends on a beneficial balance of friendly bacteria. These "good" bacteria work in harmony with the body, helping to maintain a favourable balance between good and harmful bacteria. However, this delicate bacterial balance can be easily disrupted by antibiotics, aspirin, bacterial or viral infections, poor diet, stress or lifestyle changes such as holidays. It is important therefore to maintain a balanced and healthy gut flora. Certain strains from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium families occurring naturally in the body can help maintain this favourable balance by producing lactic acid, thus creating an environment unsuitable for harmful bacteria. Beneflora has the advantage of combining a mixture of 6 of these strains. It also contains Fructo Oligosaccharides, an essential food substrate for the growth of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. Beneflora has a pleasant taste and comes in a convenient, easy-to-take, sachet. Directions: as a food supplement, take one sachet per day. The powder may be eaten directly from the sachet or preferably mixed with your favourite food or cold drink. A seven day course every month is recommended to help maintain a balanced intestinal flora. However, if your intestinal flora is heavily damaged (after a course of antibiotics, for example) it is recommended to take Beneflora for 35 days without interruption. Flatulence may occur, but will disappear after a few days. Suitable for children over the age of 8. Suitable for diabetics. Does not require refrigeration once opened. Ingredients: Maltodextrin, Fructo Oligosaccharides of chicory, pisum sativum fibres, lactic ferments: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium species, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium longum.
