Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula is a unique, broad-spectrum, microbiotic supplement with a remarkably wide variety of strains (20 high-quality strains). This diversity of microorganisms, combined with a powerful dose (36 billion CFU a day), makes this an unparalleled formulation in terms of efficacy and scope of action.
The multi-strain probiotic Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula is one of our Digestion and Oro-gastro-intestinal health supplements.
What benefits does Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula offer?
A course of Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula provides you with an excellent and extremely diverse intake of beneficial microorganisms destined for your gut microbiota. The strains selected help to support not only your gut health and immune system, but also the health and radiance of your skin, as well as your mood and ability to maintain a healthy weight.
A ‘multi-strain’ rather than ‘mono-strain’ approach is more likely to be compatible with a wider range of microbiota. A full spectrum of microorganisms such as this also produces optimal effects on your gut flora and overall health.
What exactly is in this multi-strain probiotic?
The 20 synergistic strains of microorganism contained in Full Spectrum Probiotic Formula are:
- Bifidobacterium animalis lactis (11,16*109 CFU), a species of bifidobacteria identified in 1997 and frequently isolated in dairy products;
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus (10,08*109 CFU), another lactic bacteria and one of the most extensively-studied probiotics, widely-used for its ability to restore balance to the gut microbiota, and support both the immune response and skin health (1);
- Lactobacillus plantarum (4,32*109 CFU), a lactobacillus found in sauerkraut as well as in the human digestive tract which has hydrating and anti-wrinkle effects, as well as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective ones (2);
- Bifidobacterium breve (3,24*109 CFU), an elongated bacillus, in the form of a small chain, which can lower the intestinal pH and which is particularly effective against the rotaviruses that cause diarrhoea (3) ;
- Lactobacillus paracasei (1,8*109 CFU), a species of lactic bacteria often used in the fermentation of dairy products and as a probiotic;
- Lactobacillus casei (0,72*109 CFU), a beneficial,rod-shaped bacteria found in milk and cheese, which helps to improve immunity, mood and skin condition (4-6) ;
- Bifidobacterium bifidum (0,36*109 CFU), astrain widely used as a probiotic in cases of irritable bowel syndrome and immune problems;
- Bifidobacterium longum infantis (0,36*109 CFU), a beneficial, Y-shaped lactic bacteria found in the human gut, and used as a probiotic for relieving both diarrhoea and constipation, stomach ache, bloating ... (7-8) ;
- Bifidobacterium longum longum (0,36*109 CFU), alactic ferment considered to be a good bacteria of the digestive system, also beneficial for supporting the body’s natural defences (9) ;
- Lactobacillus acidophilus (0,36*109 CFU), a beneficial microorganism found in milk, miso, etc. It promotes the uptake of vitamin K and helps maintain radiant skin. It is also widely used to combat intestinal pain and excessive flatulence (10) ;
- Lactobacillus delbrueckii bulgaricus (0,36*109 CFU), a bacillus lactic bacteria which converts glucose into lactate;
- Lactobacillus fermentum (0,36*109 CFU), part of the Lactobacillaceae family, which produces lactic acid in the body ;
- Lactobacillus gasseri (0,36*109 CFU), a microorganism present in breast milk, as well as in oral and digestive flora, which is good for gut health, immunity and weight control (11);
- Lactobacillus crispatus (0,36*109 CFU), found mainly in healthy vaginal flora and which prevents excessive inflammation of the skin;
- Lactobacillus reuteri (0,36*109 CFU), a type of lactic bacteria isolated in sourdough starter, cheese, and sausage, and the first strain to colonise a new-born baby’s digestive tract Good for the digestion, it combats pathogenic bacteria and is effective against cholesterol (12);
- Lactobacillus salivarius (0,36*109 CFU), a beneficial bacteria of the digestive tract, which improves the gut flora and various markers of the immune response (13);
- Lactococcus lactis lactis (0,36*109 CFU) , a type of lactic bacteria found in certain plant-source products such as grains and beans;
- Streptococcus salivarius thermophilus, a dietary bacteria used in particular in yogurt production;
- Lactobacillus helveticus (0,18*109 CFU), a rod-shaped bacteria, which is highly resistant and able to adhere to intestinal cells, modulate the microbiota and promote a good immune response (14) ;
- Pediococcus acidilactici (0,18*109 CFU), a strain found in fermented vegetables, dairy products and meat, as well as in the human digestive tract, and which is widely used as a probiotic for fighting pathogens (15).
