More information
Supplementation with probiotics has many mechanisms of action that benefit health, including but not limited to: (1) supporting metabolic activity, such as the production of short-chain fatty acids and vitamins, nutrient absorption, and digestion of lactose; (2) adhering to intestinal epithelial cells to help maintain a healthy balance of organisms in the intestinal tract; (3) helping to establish populations of good bacteria after disruption in balance; (4) supporting immune function; (5) promoting intestinal epithelial cell survival; (6) supporting healthy bowel function; and (7) degrading oxalates [1-7].
Each vegetarian, dairy- and gluten-free capsule contains four-strain probiotic totaling 100 billion CFU† per capsule. To further support resistance to low pH and the delivery of microorganisms to the small intestines, we utilize DRcaps™ gastro-resistant capsules. These specially designed, innovative capsules help slow exposure of actives to stomach acid to promote a more targeted release. Each capsule is sealed in nitrogen-purged aluminum blister packs to serve as protection from factors proven to compromise the stability of probiotics, such as heat, moisture, and oxygen.
Lactobacillus acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14): This common inhabitant of the human mouth, intestinal tract and vagina, is also found in some traditional fermented milks (e.g., kefir). It has a history of safe human consumption. The L. acidophilus La-14 strain is of human origin and has been identified as a type A1 L. acidophilus. L acidophilus shows excellent adhesion to human epithelial cell-lines [8,9].
Bifidobacterium longum (Bifidobacterium longum Bl-05): The B. longum Bl-05 strain is well accepted as safe for human consumption. B. longum is resistant to low pH and bile salts and is well suited to the intestinal environment [10].
Lactobacillus plantarum (Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-115): This strain was isolated from plant material and is abundantly present in lactic acid-fermented foods, such as olives and sauerkraut. In vitro studies have shown that L. plantarum Lp-115 strain has excellent adhesion to epithelial cell lines [12]. In addition, L. plantarum is resistant to low pH conditions and survives the presence of bile at duodenal concentrations [10,11].
Bifidobacterium lactis (Bifidobacterium lactis HN019): Researchers have identified strain HN019 as having excellent probiotic potential based upon its ability to survive the transit through the human gastrointestinal tract, adhere to epithelial cells, and proliferate [5]. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human dietary intervention study in elderly subjects (>60 yrs.), supplementary B. lactis HN019 resulted in statistically significant increases in the beneficial organisms bifidobacteria and lactobacilli [12].
