Capsule: HypromelloseWhat are Microbiotics?Microbiotics are the beneficial  bacteria that occur throughout the digestive tract. Poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress and disease and the use of antibiotics in food production as well as in medical treatments can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable bacteria to multiply. Why do we need Microbiotics? When the ratio of benefical bacteria to bad is lowered, problems begin to arise such as excessive gas, bloating, intestinal toxicity, constipation and poor absorption of nutrients. Whilst it is true that non-beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring in the intestinal tract problems begin when their growth goes unchecked. A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85%  beneficial  bacteria to prevent the over colonisation of disease causing micro organisms like E.coli and Salmonella.Gluten Free.
