Inside your gastrointestinal tract are trillions of microbes, also known as micro-organisms, consisting of viruses, small quantities of yeast and 800 - 1,000 different types of bacteria. 1,2 This is known as your microbiota, or microflora, with the highest number of microbes being in the colon.
This microbiota ecosystem is like a seesaw, constantly auto-regulating. The balance can be affected due to environmental factors, diet, stress, age, medications such as antibiotics, and a weak immunity. 3
Friendly live bacteria – probiotics – balance our good and bad intestinal bacteria, helping our digestion, metabolism and immune systems stay healthy.
Imbalance in the microbiota is known as a dysbiosis and can mean indigestion,
bloating, bowel problems, flatulence, constipation and diarrhoea – even IBS (Irritable
Bowel Syndrome) and Crohn’s disease. 4,5,6
MICROBIOTA HELPS US ?
- Developing and maturing the immune system (70% of our immune cells are in our intestines).
- Developing the digestive system and digesting certain foods that the stomach and the small intestine can’t.
- Creating a barrier effect (to limit the propagation of pathogens – infectious agents, such as a virus, that cause illness or disease) .
- Absorbing vitamins and minerals (K,B1,B2,B6,B9,B12)
Hello Day’s Probio Support has been specifically created to help you prepare yourself and your health throughout the seasons so that you look better, feel better, and flow better every day.
Probio Support is a premium range of probiotics and prebiotics to prevent and improve a wide range of digestion problems and discomforts. Probiotics are friendly live bacteria while prebiotics are a type of carbohydrate that nourish this good bacteria in your gut, helping it to grow and thrive.
ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS?
Probiotic bacteria may be defined as ‘live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host’. 7 Each one of us has our very own unique ecosystem. 8
A probiotic should contain more than one billion living micro-organisms to increase the chance of adequate gut colonisation. 9 Most clinical trials show that 10 - 15 billion CFUs (colony forming units) are needed for effective daily care, which is what Hello Day’s Probio Support offers.
A large number of clinical studies have also shown that specific strains of probiotics can help with immunity and protect against certain intestinal infections and inflammatory chronic diseases, including IBS and Crohn’s disease. 4,5,6.
Our Probio Support products contain more than one live strain, which can be particularly beneficial because colonisation may only occur with one strain and not another. What’s more, probiotic mixtures can often work together in synergy.
Hello Day’s Probio Support range consists of a carefully chosen selection of effective live strains combined with a ‘Free From’ list of ingredients to a GMP’s (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified manufacturing process. For example:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus thermophiles: to restore the microbiota balance and ease digestive problems by reducing bloating, flatulence and intestinal discomfort. Recolonising the digestive tract reduces the frequency of diarrhoea.
- Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei: to reduce constipation.
We offer two Probio Support products, with clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy of both.
Bioharmony Balance 10
A symbiotic dietary supplement to help improve digestive comfort and reduce flatulence, bloating and abdominal pain. It combines complementary ingredients such as carefully selected friendly probiotics, to restore the intestinal microbiota balance and act upon symptoms linked to irritable bowel syndrome, and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to stimulate good bacteria growth and improve transit disorders.
SHOP NOWImmunity Support 11
A dietary supplement to help strengthen your body’s defence system against viruses and pathogenic agents. It’s a combination of carefully selected probiotics, which restore the intestinal microbiota balance, as well as Vitamin D to help your immune system function normally.
