Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856, known commercially as Lactospore, is a resilient probiotic that plays a key role in maintaining stability and diversity of the gut microbiome.

A truly indigenous bacteria of the human GI tract that has co-evolved with humans since the very beginning. L. reuteri helps strengthen the lining of the gut thus preventing leaky gut syndrome and improving immune response.

As the name indicates, L. acidophilus produces an enzyme called lactase which helps the body break down sugars commonly found in milk and other dairy products. Studies have shown that L. acidophillus is one of the most effective probiotics in improving symptoms of IBS as well as supporting overall gut health.

Uniquely adapted to survive the harsh environment of the digestive tract, L. rhamnosus is highly effective in reducing inflammation and infection. Studies have shown that this probiotic has proven effective in treating many disorders, from seasonal allergies to acne.

A superb all-round probiotic you need to be taking. B. breve is not only great for digestion, but it also stimulates your immune system and suppresses some fungal infections. A recent study proved B. breve effective in treating oral thrush (caused by a fungus called candida) in the elderly, which can prevent the spread of candida to other areas of the body. Scientists have long speculated irritable bowel syndrome could be caused by candida.

As a versatile probiotic, B. longum is able to withstand gastric acid and bile. It has a wide range of health benefits; early evidence suggests that it may suppress allergies, reduce cholesterol and improve overall skin health.

B. Bifidum is an important intestinal microbe found largely in the colon and lower small intestine. Studies on B. bifidum have shown promising results in treating many health conditions, especially IBS and eczema. Also, B. bifdum has been used as assisted therapy for enteric (intestinal) and hepatic (liver) disorders.

As the world’s most documented probiotic and the most clinically trialled strain for constipation, BB-12® is associated with numerous benefits surrounding gastrointestinal health and immune function. Through clinical research, BB-12® was shown to improve bowel function and reduce some antibiotic side effects. In terms of immune function, BB-12® was able to increase the body’s resistance to common respiratory infections.

L. Plantarum is a potent, high-quality probiotic. Evidence from clinical trials demonstrated it had a positive impact on reducing cardiovascular risk factors such as high cholesterol, as well as supporting overall heart wellness.

The ultimate superfood. Rich in soluble fibre, psyllium has countless medicinal benefits that can help you achieve optimal gut health. When combined with water, psyllium forms a bulky, gel-like substance in the small intestine which helps to remove toxins and impacted waste from the intestinal and colon walls. Not only is psyllium great for cleansing, but it is also a wonderful slow-release energy source that helps to regulate blood sugar levels and can help you feel fuller for longer.

Inulin is a natural prebiotic that our probiotics use for fuel to grow and multiply in the gut. Inulin is a functional food and has been linked to maintaining a healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels. Our inulin is derived from chicory root and is naturally sweet in flavour.

Let’s not underestimate the humble black peppercorn. Piperine, the plant compound in black pepper is one of the most potent antioxidants on the planet providing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial health benefits, as well as boosting brain function and increasing levels of good cholesterol.

Fennel has excellent antioxidant antimicrobial properties due to their free radical scavenging ability—in other words, their ability to defend your health from potential attacks. Fennel is a great source of fibre and contains many heart-friendly nutrients such as potassium and folate.

Liquorice root extract is an action-packed nutrient powerhouse that contains over 300 compounds, some of which offer potent anti-inflammatory and antiviral benefits. Its major constituent Glycyrrhizin gives liquorice firm adaptogen status.

Cellulase is an essential enzyme for breaking down cellulose and chitin (plant fibres). Cellulase helps to maximise nutrient digestibility and absorption of your fruits and vegetables.

Amylase helps us to digest carbohydrates such as starch, glycogen and polysaccharides into smaller, easier-to-manage units.

A crucial enzyme that the body uses to break down fats. Lipase also improves fat utilisation and supports healthy gallbladder function.

Protease helps us to break down protein and peptides and supports overall immune function.

Lactase is responsible for breaking down lactose, a sugar found in milk and in some dairy products. It is also beneficial for those suffering with lactose intolerance.

The benefits of calcium go much further than just maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Calcium is an essential mineral for regulating digestion. Certain essential enzymes for digestion simply cannot function without it. Scientific evidence from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) now shows that calcium contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes.
