12 Balanced Strains Life Probiotic Hi Potency-
Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14 14 billion CFU per serving This strain is a Lactobacillus acidophilus that has a high tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions and strong adhesion to the gut wall. Research has shown that it may modulate the immune response by means of the induction of IL-12 and TNF.* [1,2,3] Research has also shown that oral ingestion of Lactobacillus acidophilus may improve beneficial genital flora and reduce the disturbance of vaginal microbiota.*[4,5]
Bacillus subtilis DE111®
14 billion CFU per serving Bacillus subtilis has the ability to form spores that protect the microbes from harsh conditions until they enter an environment ripe for germination, such as the gut. Multiple human clinical studies support DE111®’s benefits to digestive and immune health.* Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lb-64 2 billion CFU per serving Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a helpful natural bacterium and a member of the family microflora, which may fight harmful bacteria in the digestive system.* L. bulgaricus lives in the intestinal mucosa and is resistant to the acidic digestive juices secreted by the stomach. The organism grows when it’s needed and diminishes when it’s not. This strain may help lipid levels and support the immune system.* It is also commonly found as part of the vaginal flora as well. Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lr-32 4 billion CFU per serving L. rhamnosus is well suited to intestinal survival because it has a high tolerance of acid and intestinal bile and strong adhesion to intestinal cell lines.* Lr-32 has also been shown to have beneficial modulation of immune functions by influencing immune regulation, as demonstrated by the increased induction of IL-10.* L. rhamnosus Lr-32 has shown anti-inflammatory properties.*[11,
Bifidobacterium longum Bl-05
2 billion CFU per serving Bifidobacterium longum strains are well accepted as safe for human consumption.* B longum is resistant to low pH and bile salts and is well suited to the intestinal environment. Bl-05 may protect against enteric pathogens by limiting their ability to colonize the intestine.*[10] Streptococcus thermophilus St-21 2 billion CFU per serving S. thermophilus is found in fermented milk products and is generally used in the production of yogurt. Streptococcus thermophilus may have many potential benefits on digestion, immunity and other situations. Antibiotics may have the adverse effect of destroying beneficial bacteria and causing harmful bacteria to multiply.*[15,16] Studies have shown that it may enhance immunity, reduce H. pylori and Clostridium difficile.* It has also been shown to enhance non-breast-fed infant probiotic flora.*[17,18] Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37 2 billion CFU per serving Lactobacillus paracasei is a Gram-positive, non-spore forming, homofermentative rod that is a common inhabitant of the human intestinal tract. It is acid tolerant, bile salt tolerant, pepsin resistant, pancreatin resistant. It is also known for competition for adhesion sites or nutritional sources, supporting inhibition of the production or action of bacterial toxins, and support for the immune system.* Lpc-37 may have
an influence on immune regulation, as demonstrated through the induction of IL12.*[19,20] Bifidobacterium lactis VK2 2 billion CFU per serving Bifidobacterium lactis (formerly B. infantis) is a gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the Bifidobacterium genus which can be found in the large intestines of most mammals, including humans. This strain may digest special nutrients in breast milk and protect a baby’s gut.* Lactobacillus casei Lc-11 2 billion CFU per serving L. casei is a common inhabitant of the human intestinal tract and is also found in fermented vegetables, meat and milk. Lc-11 is highly tolerant of acid and bile and adheres strongly to intestinal Caco-2 cell lines.* It is well suited for intestinal survival and functionality.[13] Lactobacillus salivarius Ls-33 2 billion CFU per serving Lactobacillus salivarius is a Gram-positive, non-spore forming common inhabitant of the human intestinal tract and urogenital surfaces. It has a high tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions (acid, bile, pepsin and pancreatin) and strong adhesion to intestinal cell lines.[1
Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-115
2 billion CFU per serving Lactobacillus plantarum is a beneficial bacterium commonly found in fermented foods including sauerkraut, pickles, brined olives and sourdough. L. plantarum has been found to compete against strains of Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens.*[8] Studies have also demonstrated that Lp-115 may support the immune response by stimulating Th1- mediated immunity.*[9] Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 2 billion CFU per serving Bifidobacteria are widely recognized for their key role in human microflora throughout all stages of life. Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 is known for its balanced immune response in individuals hypersensitive to environmental allergens by induction of IL-10.[6] It may support GI health by reducing intestinal permeability and maintaining healthy microbiota.*[7]
