Great for gut health: opting for an Optibac Probiotics double

As is true with so many products you come across, not all supplements are produced to the same standard. But, then, to look at this fact more positively, you might say it’s because some products are improved on. Such is the case with Optibac Probiotics For Every Day EXTRA Strength, which is fantastic news for enthusiasts of probiotics and those who are yet to learn and benefit from the fantastic work probiotics can do for their intestinal tract, their immune system and their overall health and wellbeing.

Good gut health is all about balance. To reverse the damage done to the intestinal tract by ‘bad bacteria’ through a combination of bad diet, toxins, stress and long-term use of antibiotics, it’s important to turn to the one thing that can bring peace by banishing these harmful gut organisms and, thus, establish balance – it’s important to turn to probiotics. Thanks to their symbiotic relationship with the body, they balance the gut by detoxifying the substances you’ve consumed and ingested, and so generate a healthy microbiome in gut; made up of a varied microbiota.

Probiotics are the answer

How? Well, due to the presence of an increasing number of probiotics (owing to the body’s owner keeping to a course of probiotic supplements), the digestive system’s able to reactivate its live bacteria with the probiotics’ ‘good bacteria’ – to counter its pathogens (‘bad bacteria’) – with the former quickly setting to work and colonising the gut over the latter.

To that end then, turning to the market-leading, gluten-free and dairy-free Optibac Probiotics could well do your overall health a good deal of benefit. Especially if you combine Opitbac’s For Every Day EXTRA Strength capsules with Optibac’s Saccharomyces boulardii probiotics, both of which are available from us at The Finchley Clinic. And that’s because these two highly recommended, well-reviewed supplements could blend together as a potential solution for gut-based complaints, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). After all, given it’s the centre-point of your immune system, when your gut’s not well, neither can be the rest of your body.

Extra Strength – extra ingredients

Each capsule of Optibac Probiotics For Every Day EXTRA Strength contains the following bacteria strains and additional ingredients:

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM
  • Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37
  • Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07
  • Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04
  • Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb-02
  • Its other ingredients include:
  • Micro-crystalline cellulose (filler)
  • Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (capsule)
  • Titanium dioxide (capsule)
  • Vegetable magnesium stearate (anti-caking agent)
  • Silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent)

(Optibac claims each capsule comprises 20 billion micro-organisms)

Meanwhile, each Optibac Probiotics Saccharomyces boulardii capsule contains the following bacteria strains and additional ingredients:

  • Saccharomyces boulardii (250mg)
  • Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (capsule)
  • Potato starch (filler)
  • Magnesium stearate (lubricant)
  • Silicon dioxide (an anti-adherent)

(Optibac claims each capsule comprises 5 billion live cultures)

How do these probiotic supplements help gut health?

As noted above, these two types of probiotics are regarded for their positive effects when taken for intestinal conditions. Research studies have shown that some of the bacteria strains in Optibac’s Saccharomyces boulardii may help prevent flare-ups of Crohn’s disease and so aid a sufferer in controlling the condition, as well as act an effective agent in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, maybe even helping to push the condition into remission.

Moreover, the bacteria strain Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, to be found in For Every Day EXTRA Strength capsules, may well deliver positive results for sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A study has discovered the strain helps IBS sufferers in several different ways – such as reduced bloating (73%), passing less wind (54%), less abdominal pain/ fewer cramps (62%), and reduced diarrhoea (62%) and constipation (54%).

And can they help with hayfever?

Finally, it might surprise you; but, yes, it does appear For Every Day EXTRA Strength capsules may not just help to balance the microbiome, improve immunity and safeguard general health – but also, possibly, help treat hayfever for those allergic to pollen. Results from a clinical trial suggest the probiotic reduced symptoms of nasal irritation among those allergic to birch tree pollen, which isn’t to be (ahem) sniffed at, given the fact one fifth of people in the United States, alone, are allergic to this particular pollen. 

All in all, then, there’s many a good reason to seriously consider purchasing Optibac Probiotics For Every Day EXTRA Strength (combined with Optibac Saccharomyces boulardii) – it may do you a lot of good in the pollen-packed spring and summer months and, frankly for the good of your gut and body, any time of the year.
