SMEBIOCTA Confort Lactobacillus Plantarum 299V, 30

The probiotic (literally pro bio means for life) are bacteria, viruses or yeast that have beneficial effects on our health.

According to the WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the official definition of probiotics is: ” living microorganisms which, when ingested in sufficient quantity, exert positive effects on health, beyond the traditional nutritional effects ”.

They are actually for the most part lactic ferments, microorganisms and bacterial type (and not yeasts) present in our digestive tract from top to bottom, at variable concentrations (very little in the stomach, enormously in the fat intestine).

The health benefits of probiotics sold in pharmacies in the form of a dietary supplement are obvious, however, a regular supply of probiotics is required for reseeding the intestinal flora to be optimal and effective.

In addition to rehydration, certain probiotics reduce the risk and the duration of the episode of infectious diarrhea, in particular lactic bacteria and the yeast Saccharomyces Boulardii. By attaching to the mucous membranes of the intestines, they reconstitute the latter, which ensures the proper functioning of the intestines.

For patients with irritable bowel syndrome or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), taking probiotics can:

improve the condition of patients,
decrease the frequency and intensity of abdominal pain, flatulence and bloating,
promote intestinal transit.
