VSL#3 Probiotic 60 Caps

VSL 3 probiotics is a medical food, a product that has the ability of restoring the healthy
intestinal bacterial flora by providing the optimal amount of beneficial micro-organisms.
These micro-organisms, normally hosted by the human gastro-intestinal tract, are called probiotics.
The most known bacteria types included in this category are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria,
which can be found in a wide range of products, from yogurts to dietary supplements.

VSL#3 probiotics is a dietary product that stimulates the formation of a protective barrier inside the digestive
tract, reducing the incidence of stomach irritations and ulcerations,
the inflammations of the digestive tract and also the colonic permeability.
But why is it necessary for these bacteria to act like this? Which are the enemies they have to fight against
Bad bacteria inside the digestive tract?

The target for the VSL 3 supplement is represented by bad or pathogenic bacteria,
which in certain conditions begin to outnumber the harmless or good micro-organisms.
In a healthy body, good bacteria should represent around 85% of all micro-organisms
inside the gastrointestinal tract. Unfortunately, bad eating habits, stress, drugs
like antibiotics as well as various illnesses (irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch)
perturb the internal equilibrium of the organism,
weakening the immune system and favoring the overgrowth of pathogen bacteria.

VSL 3 contains no less than 450 billion live positive micro-organisms per pack,
among which Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium breve.
These good bacteria colonize the digestive system and adhere to the walls of the gastrointestinal tract,
forming the already mentioned protective barrier. Once this inner layer is completely formed,
stored toxins are eliminated and bad bacteria can’t develop anymore.
