For daily wellbeing
This formula from OptiBac Probiotics promotes a healthy balance of friendly bacteria throughout the entire intestinal tract. In For daily wellbeing, the acidophilus and other probiotic bacteria along with the prebiotics have been selected for their specific clinically proven health benefits they convey in the different parts of the small and large intestine or colon.
For daily wellbeing provides a high potency and select variety of well researched and documented probiotic strains. This OptiBac Probiotics formula is free from sugars, fats, preservatives or colourings that can be found in many daily probiotic foods and drinks.
How does For daily wellbeing work?
Lactobacilli Strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 are amongst the most well-researched and documented species of probiotics naturally resident in the human gut. Our rhamnosus and acidophilus strains have been studied to survive the gastric acidity and bile salts expected at mealtimes and to reach the intestines without damage; where they colonise, support immune cells and create a healthy lactic acid environment that limits survival of harmful bacteria.
Bifidobacteria Strains: Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175, Bifidobacterium breve Rosell-70 and Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71 colonise primarily in the large intestine (or colon). Here they promote the production of antibodies, support the body against toxins and inhibit the development of undesirable bacteria by competitively excluding their attachment to the intestinal wall lining. A healthy balance of Bifidobacteria furthermore supports the intestines in assisting transit and optimising a healthy frequency and regularity of bowel movements.
Lactococcus lactis Rosell-1058: This strain is obtained from the kefir culture and is renowned for its antimicrobial benefits; supporting the body against undesirable harmful bacteria and some fungi.
Prebiotics: The non-digestible prebiotic FOS (fructooligosaccharides) acts as a food source to stimulate growth of the bifidobacteria in particular; creating what is known as a 'bifidogenic' effect. The synbiotic relationship between probiotics and prebiotics in the colon has a great impact on supporting intestinal health and wellbeing.

Background Information
Did you know that we each have around 1.5 kg of bacteria in our intestines? This microbiota consists of both beneficial probiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, and harmful pathogenic bacteria, such as Streptococus aureus; trillions of which co-exist in a complex ecosystem. Having a healthy balance of probiotics over pathogens plays a key role in digestion and immunity.
Probiotics support digestion in numerous ways. The right balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances. Probiotics produce B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improve the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet.
Two-thirds of the body's immune system is managed in the intestines, and hence a good balance of friendly bacteria helps to maintain overall immunity. A good probiotic level in the gut encourages high levels of acidity, which holds back the proliferation and survival of harmful bacteria, and promotes the multiplication of friendly, probiotic bacteria.
Unfortunately the balance of probiotic and harmful bacteria in the gut is very fragile, and can easily be damaged by everyday factors such as as stress, ageing, the environment, and medication such as antibiotics.
Research has shown the benefits to digestion, health and immunity for people who top up their levels of probiotic bacteria. For daily wellbeing, with 6 carefully chosen probiotic strains and prebiotics, is the leading multi-strain general probiotic offering daily support for a healthy lifestyle.
Safety
It is not recommended to give probiotics to severely immunosuppressed patients, infants with short bowel syndrome (SBS), post cardiac surgery patients, patients with pancreatitis, patients with Type 1 diabetes, patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or patients with blood in the stool unless under a doctor’s care.
