Features
Mega Probiotic Powder delivers a potency of 12 billion active cells per gram at the time of manufacture (eight billion at expiry) and is a blend of four clinically-tested species of friendly probiotics. Three species of lactobacillus bacteria support the health of the small intestine, and one species of bifidobacterium supports the health of the large intestine.
Modern medical research has confirmed that daily ingestion of probiotics can increase the number of friendly bacteria in the gut, and is identifying which species of bacteria are most beneficial. Probiotics have been shown to play an important role in preventing or controlling diarrhea, constipation and other digestive disorders, dental cavities, bacterial vaginosis, and allergies. Recent studies also reveal that probiotics can reduce the risk of cancer, and reduce infections by strengthening the immune system.
While some foods (like yogurt), or fermented foods (like tempeh) can replenish some species of friendly bacteria, getting adequate amounts from our diet can be challenging. Mega Probiotic Powder is a specially-formulated probiotic supplement that delivers a balanced blend of the most potent species of probiotics.
