Probiotic 5

Probiotic 5 contains 5 strains of bacteria belonging to lactic acid-producing groups (BAL - essentially Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus and Enterococcus) that are usually found in dairy products such as yoghurt and cheese.

Acording to Health and nutritional benefits from lactic acid bacteria they have the potential to improve the nutritional value of food, control intestinal infestations, improve lactose digestibility, as well as hypocholesterolemic action and control of the levels of circulating cholesterol, as well as an adjuvant in oncological disease.

In 2011, the review Beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria on human beings considered that BALs are highly beneficial in lactose intolerance, diarrhoea, peptic ulcer, stimulation of the immune system, have an anti-allergic, and antifungal effect and are beneficial in the prevention of colon cancer.
