Description
Bio-Practica BioGaia Gastrus Chewable tablets are designed to support gastrointestinal health with ease and convenience. Each tablet is infused with a refreshing mandarin flavor complemented by subtle mint notes, making it a pleasant addition to your daily routine.
Key Probiotic Strains
Each chewable tablet contains two specific probiotic strains:
- Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC PTA 6475
- Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938
These strains are of human origin and were originally isolated from breast milk. Each tablet provides a minimum of 200 million CFU, contributing to a balanced gut microbiome and supporting gut health.
Health Benefits
These probiotics are known for their ability to ease occasional gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain. They promote regularity, enhance gut motility, and support gut-brain communication. Additionally, they may assist in managing gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infections when used alongside standard therapies.
Protective Mechanism
The probiotic strains are safeguarded by a high molecular weight exopolysaccharide biofilm, which acts as a prebiotic. This protection ensures the strains survive gastrointestinal transit and adhere effectively to the mucosal layer, maintaining their potency. The strains inhibit pathogen adhesion to the intestinal lining and activate anti-inflammatory responses, contributing to overall gut health.
Additional Ingredients
The tablets are formulated with:
- Isomalt
- Fully hydrogenated vegetable oil
- Ascorbic acid
- Xylitol
- Calcium stearate
These ingredients enhance flavor and texture while ensuring the product is free from sugar, lactose, gluten, and other common allergens.
