Product Notes:
Have you ever left home in the pink of health, only to succumb to a persistent digestive disturbance soon into your vacation or business trip? Stress, jet-lag, and unfamiliar food and water can all disrupt the function of our gut bacteria.
In addition to bacterial, parasitic, or viral contamination underlying Travellers' diarrhea (which will be less likely to get rooted in the lining of your gastrointestinal tract if you take these beneficial microorganisms in advance to 'crowd them out'), these disturbances can also be triggered by changes in the composition of your own intestinal microflora induced by antibiotic use, stress, and alterations in your diet and daily rhythms.
Research Driven Probiotics
This combination of five hardy and well-tolerated strains can help remedy digestive issues travellers frequently experience by promoting a favourable balance of gut flora.
The predominant type, Saccharomyces boulardii, is actually a type of yeast, rather than a bacterium, but it has proven to be quite able to help prevent and treat several types of diarrhea, including both Traveler's diarrhea and antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
The remaining strains – the HMF® (Human MicroFlora) entourage – are all high quality, high viability proprietary strains which have been sourced from humans (and are thus known to be compatible with the human gastrointestinal tract). They have been studied extensively (including in randomized, placebo-controlled human clinical trials), and demonstrated to be able to adhere to the gut lining better and colonize the intestinal environment with friendly bacteria more efficiently than some other types.
