Probiotic for Digestive Health

Swanson Probiotic for Digestive Health helps support digestion with 16 carefully selected strains so you can feel your best. Your digestive tract is a diverse ecosystem, home to billions of microorganisms. The “good ones,” known as probiotics, provide valuable support for healthy digestion, immune function and many other vital processes throughout the body. Probiotics help establish and maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the GI tract by increasing the population of beneficial strains. Prebiotics, such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), enhance this activity by supporting probiotic organisms to ensure that they thrive.

The 16 strains found in Swanson Probiotic for Digestive Health were carefully selected based on their specific roles in supporting digestive health. For example, it features 9 strains of Lactobacillus , including L. acidophilus , one of the most extensively researched strains when it comes to digestive health, and L. rhamnosus , which provides invaluable GI tract protection for travelers. Commonly found in fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir, these lactic acid producing bacteria aid in the breakdown of lactose and other sugars, reducing gassiness to support intestinal comfort. The formula also includes five Bifidobacterium strains, which work in harmony with L. casei , L. reuteri , Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactococcus lactis to support digestive function throughout the alimentary canal. Combined they constitute a broad-spectrum source of support for digestive health.
