Vivomixx® Nutritional Supplement: The Importance of Bacteria in Health

The Vivomixx® is a nutritional supplement containing 450 billion of eight different strains of important live bacteria. These bacteria are essential for balancing the digestive system.

The intestinal microflora consists of over 500 different bacterial species that live in a delicate balance with each other and with the human body. The colon, the region of our gut, has the highest concentration of bacteria, between 10 and 100 billion bacteria/ml of stool material. Therefore, a strong dose of live bacteria can make all the difference.

The intestinal microflora is critical to our health as it can:

• To fight pathogenic bacteria through mechanisms of competition and production of antibacterial substances
• To produce short-chain fatty acids, the most important nutrition for intestinal cells
• To produce vitamins (K, B1, B6, B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, etc.) with an important role in various metabolic reactions
• To regulate the maturation of immune responses

Altering the balance of intestinal microflora can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, excessive gas, bloating and changes in bowel habits.
