Digestive health: The past three decades have been very rich with scientific research concerning the importance of our intestinal microbiota: the good bacteria of our intestine. The health of our microbiota plays a central role in maintaining our abilities and preventing disease. Whether it’s for digestion, inflammation, immune system health, cardiovascular health, body weight, or even the risk of depression: your microbiota is very important to you. Your gut is your body’s gateway to everything you eat, as well as your immune system’s connection to the outside world. The lining of your gut contains 70% of your immune system cells. Therefore, in addition to helping digest and adsorb beneficial molecules from your food, the good bacteria in your gut also keep your immune system healthy. A varied diet, rich in fiber, ensures a better diversity of good bacteria in your intestine and a lower proportion of bad bacteria. Unfortunately, this is not always enough and is the reason why BASE Probiotic is here to help you maintain a healthy gut microbiota. It is a fine balance between the 40 billion bacteria of your digestive system and the cells of your immune system. If this balance is disturbed by stress, pollution, poor diet, taking medication, or even health problems, your immune system will be affected. This could impact your cardiovascular health, inflammation, defense against viruses and bacteria, and your state of mind (stress or depression). BASE Probiotic is a triple-action product to help you maintain this beneficial balance: It contains a well-documented strain of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis HN019) for your immune health and transit, Strains of lactic acid bacteria clinically studied for symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (abdominal pain, bloating, distention; Pediococcusacidilactici KABP-021, Lactobacillus plantarum KABP-022, and Lactobacillus plantarum KABP-023), and Strains producing post-biotics, resulting from research within a Canadian university, to improve the composition of the microbiota (Pediococcusacidilactici UL5 and Lactococcus lactis MJC18). Post-biotics are the latest advancement in probiotics. These are molecules produced by probiotic bacteria to reduce the presence of bad bacteria. It is therefore the perfect product to maintain or restore a good balance of your intestinal microbiota. The 6 strains of probiotic bacteria in BASE Probiotic, used at 15 billion bacteria per capsule, are strains that are scientifically well documented, having been the subject of a large number of scientific research and publications. It is always important to focus on the name of the strains used and not simply on the species. The specific name of the strain is mentioned after the species (underlined here) : Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 Pediococcusacidilactici KABP-021, Lactobacillus plantarum KABP-022, Lactobacillus plantarum KABP-023, Pediococcusacidilactici UL5, and Lactococcus lactis MJC18 Identifying the strains not only ensures the exact composition of the product but also ensures that the benefits will be the same as those demonstrated in published clinical studies. Products using species of bacteria whose strains are not identified may not always contain the same bacteria, but above all, they contain bacteria with little or no scientific documentation. This is a very important quality criterion. BASE Probiotic also contains bacterial strains from research from a Canadian university: Pediococcusacidilactici UL5 and Lactococcus lactis MJC18. These strains are at the forefront of probiotic science by enabling a new beneficial facet: post-biotic production. These are molecules, produced by these bacteria and studied in the laboratory, which reduce the presence of bad bacteria.
