BENEFITS AND RESEARCH
Your body needs good bacteria
to help with detoxification, food digestion,
waste removal, production of vitamins,
and protection from harmful organisms.
When the intestinal bacteria is imbalanced and
unhealthy bacteria dominate,
the body is less able to fight off infection
resulting in inflammation.
The individual strains used in ProBionic® and ProBionic® Plus
are helpful for maintaining overall gut health.
The proprietary encapsulation
used in ProBionic® and ProBionic® Plus
allows healthy strains of bacteria to be delivered
to the digestive system alive and undisturbed.1
SUGGESTED USAGE
