Now® Probiotic-10 25 Billion is a dietary supplement that offers a balanced spectrum of live organisms composed of probiotic bacteria strains resistant to gastric acidity and known to naturally colonize the human gastrointestinal tract. The flora has several functions, including acting as one of the first barriers of immune defense, maintaining normal digestion and absorption of food, synthesizing vitamins such as vitamin K, maintaining intestinal pH to control living organisms, etc. Several factors lead to dysbiosis, such as an unbalanced diet, alcohol, and medications, among others. Probiotic supplementation aims to replenish the flora that is being destroyed by these xenobiotics in order to maintain normal intestinal function.

The probiotic bacteria strains present in this dietary supplement have been validated using DNA fingerprinting technology (DuPont™ RiboPrinter®) that is capable of verifying the identity and potency of the probiotic bacteria before their introduction into the production line.

This method guarantees the identity, potency, and purity of the bacterial strains used in the production of this dietary supplement, in addition to helping identify potential bacterial contaminants prior to production, thus justifying the Probiotic Strain Verified quality seal.

The human body is colonized by a wide variety of symbiotic microorganisms, which vary according to the region of the body, constituting different microbiomes, and which, in controlled and stable proliferation, are fundamental to health.

One of the most studied microbiomes, due to its complexity and impact on various organic processes, is the microbiome of the digestive tract, particularly the intestinal tract. The intestinal mucosa is lined with a vast number of probiotic bacteria, the vast majority of which belong to the genera Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium.

The reason replenishing gut flora is important is because it can easily change when faced with certain factors that are unfavorable to the microbiome and disrupt its proliferation, resulting in intestinal dysbiosis. This can be a consequence of poor eating habits, medication, alcohol, tobacco, stress, inflammation caused by certain pathologies, peristaltic imbalances that alter the ideal retention time of fecal matter, etc.

Probiotic bacteria are essential for intestinal permeability, pH regulation for infection control, and the synthesis of vitamins such as vitamin K and some B vitamins, such as thiamine and biotin. They also ferment fiber, which is converted into short-chain fatty acids, which are later used by cells as an energy source.

But this is only a small part of the microbiota's role. When symbiotic bacteria occupy the intestinal tract, they compete with potential invading microorganisms, hindering their establishment, thus constituting one of the first barriers to immune defense.

It's also thanks to the intestinal flora that the connection with the nervous system is established. Some neurotransmitters, such as GABA, are a product of bacterial activity.

But metabolites are also produced that stimulate the functioning of intestinal neurons, promoting, for example, the production of serotonin.

NOW® Probiotic-10™ 25 Billion provides the body with a balanced spectrum of live organisms (10 different strains) resistant to acidic pH, with clinically proven efficacy, to replenish intestinal flora, the importance of which is unquestionable.
