Description
Pro-Balance - an ally against IBS and other IBD This exclusive formula is made up of 5 probiotic strains, high-quality bovine colostrum, and FOS and AOS prebiotics, for colon health and restoring intestinal well-being in cases of functional digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Each capsule contains 12 billion viable micro-organisms, protected from stomach acidity by a gastro-resistant capsule coating. This formula includes Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus plantarum , strains whose properties provide significant relief from symptoms associated with IBS. Pro-Balance contains high-quality guaranteed bovine colostrum, free from pesticides, hormones, heavy metals and antibiotics. Its high PRP content (8 %) helps reduce the inflammatory response responsible for some of the symptoms of IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome IBS is a functional digestive disorder with a multifactorial aetiology including: intestinal motility problems, visceral hypersensitivity, alterations in the gut-brain axis, food intolerances, degradation of the gut flora, inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, and history of gastrointestinal infection. The fact that many patients with IBS have an imbalance in their gut microbiome, and that taking beneficial bacteria relieves their symptoms, suggests that probiotics are a good complementary therapeutic solution. In this sense, studies have shown that probiotic supplementation in patients with IBS relieves abdominal pain and bloating, regulates stool frequency and improves these patients' quality of life. PROBIOTICS √ Bifidobacterium infantis: Predominant in the colon flora, its effectiveness has been confirmed by several studies. B. infantis reduces pain and bloating, regulates intestinal transit, and balances the IL-10/IL-12 ratio, which is generally elevated in patients with IBS and reflects the pro-inflammatory state of the intestinal mucosa. √ Bifidobacterium longum: In a study evaluating the effect of a combination of probiotics including B. longum , on transit and IBS symptoms, a reduction in flatulence and intestinal sluggishness was observed within the first 4 weeks of treatment. √ Lactobacillus acidophilus: This probiotic effectively relieves the general symptoms (abdominal pain, flatulence, transit and general condition) of patients with IBS. A study showed that these symptoms were reduced by 55,6 % after a 14-day treatment with L. plantarum and L. acidophilus . √ Lactobacillus plantarum: Studies have shown a reduction in abdominal pain and flatulence after a 4-week treatment with L. plantarum in patients with IBS. √ Lactobacillus rhamnosus: It has been shown to be effective in relieving abdominal pain in children with various functional disorders, including IBS. COLOSTRUM Several studies have confirmed its usefulness in treating various gastrointestinal disorders. It is rich in immunoglobulins, antimicrobial factors (lactoferrin), immunomodulatory polypeptides, anti-inflammatory cytokines, growth factors and other bioactive compounds that support the immune response and the proliferation of B. infantis , one of the main probiotics in PRO BALANCE . Growth factors contribute to the regeneration and development of the intestinal mucosa, and promote better nutrient absorption
