How it works:
The friendly probiotic bacteria help protect us against the harmful ones by:

competing for nutrients
keeping the harmful ones out from contact with the gut wall
producing substances that inhibit the growth of, or even kill, harmful bacteria
Probiotics also play a role in our digestion and in the development and support of the immune system.
---------------------------------

Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is one of the most well researched probiotics with respect to health effects and safety. The bacteria strains used in BioGaia Probiotic products were originally sampled from human body sites.

L. reuteri has a natural health-promoting role and it is scientifically proven to help protect us from the actions of harmful bacteria in the stomach, the gut and the mouth. L. reuteri also strengthens our immunity.

BioGaia Probiotic products deliver live friendly Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri). The products are intended for the support of gut, immune and oral health.
