Probiotics for Gut Health

The intestinal lining plays a major role in the body’s digestive and immune balance: it allows nutrients from food to pass through whilst blocking harmful microorganisms.

The functioning of the intestinal lining depends on a healthy composition of its flora – also known as the microbiota. This is a collection of microorganisms that interact with the immune system (70% of whose cells are found in the gut).

The role of the gut flora is essential:

• To ensure the non-digestive fermentation of food residues;
• To contribute to the overall functioning of the digestive system;
• Preventing pathogens from colonising the gut by protecting the intestinal lining;
• Regulating the absorption of nutrients from food: magnesium, fatty acids, calcium, etc.

The balance of the gut flora is therefore closely linked to immunity, digestive well-being and the body’s normal functioning.

The use of probiotics is recommended to restore balance to the gut flora. Indeed, a host of everyday factors can disrupt this balance: stress, fatigue, intense exercise, an unbalanced diet, etc. The symptoms vary, ranging from constipation and bloating to abdominal pain, diarrhoea or skin problems. It may therefore be helpful to introduce beneficial bacteria into the digestive tract to ensure it functions normally: probiotics.

Synergia Laboratories offers high-quality probiotic-based dietary supplements for the gut flora. Each probiotic strain is listed in the National Collection of Microorganism Cultures and is supported by numerous studies. Our strains are gastro-resistant, thanks to a unique, patented micro-encapsulation process, enabling the strains to survive at room temperature as well as in acidic environments (such as the digestive system, for example).
