Immunity Probiotics Food supplement

The intestinal mucosa is the main interface between the external environment and the interior of the body, being the site of interaction with foreign substances and microorganisms from outside. That why the intestine contains over 70% of immune cells in the body. But the gut-associated immune system constitute the last barrier. The intestinal flora represents the first line of defense against pathogens.

Our 100 000 billion commensal bacteria form a vital ecosystem, essential to maintain good health. Any event that disrupts the intestinal flora balance, like disease, antibiotics treatment, stress, can disarm our defense line leading to host invasion by pathogenic viruses, bacteria or parasites responsible for diarrhea and other non-intestinal disease.

Probiotics are live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Probiotics may exert a protective effect against pathogens by maintaining and restoring intestinal flora.

The immunity probiotics food supplement has been formulated with specifically selected probiotics for their ability to modulate immunity, strengthening a low immunity and decreasing overactivation of the immune system, particularly in the case of allergies or inflammatory bowel disease.

Probiotics have direct antimicrobial effects: They limit the introduction of pathogenic bacteria by competing for binding sites for intestinal colonization. They produce bacteriocins, antimicrobial substances that kill or inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, they produce organic acids and hydrogen peroxide that block the development of pathogenic species like rotavirus, poliovirus, fungi such as Candida albicans or bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, Clostridium butyricum, Pseudomonas spp. or Salmonella.

Probiotics stimulate the intestinal and systemic immune response improving mucus production and immunoglobulins secretion.

Probiotics may also be implicated in the neutralization of oral toxins and decrease the biotransformation of bile salts and fatty acids into toxic metabolites.

The selected strains in the immunity probiotics food supplement have been showed to have complementary effects in the regulation of the immune system and in the prevention of host contamination by different kinds of pathogens.
