Scitec Nutrition ProB - 36 caps

Scitec Nutrition ProB - 36 caps

The human body contains nearly 2kg of bacteria and other microorganisms. These can be found on literally every surface of our skin and in our organs, including the stomach, mouth and intestines. About a third of this is common to all humans, but the remaining 2/3 is variable in composition, just like the pattern of our fingerprints.

The totality of these bacteria is called the microbiome, and the number of microbes that make up the microbiome is about ten times greater than our own cells. The organism of an adult human contains nearly 100 trillion bacteria, with at least 1,000 different species, producing nearly 3 million genes, 150 times the human genome. 

These numbers show the importance of the microcosmos we live with. So important, in fact, that in recent decades the importance of the microbiome-gut-brain axis has been recognized. The most common bacteria in the gut are bifidobacterium and lactobacillus species, which are also widely studied in microbiology. These bacteria are orally ingested and adhere to the GI tract to coexist closely with the human body as members of the normal GI tract flora.

Scitec Nutrition's ProB product contains four strains of live bacteria found in the human gastrointestinal tract, as well as 40 mg of vitamin C.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are live microorganisms (microbes) that can have beneficial effects on or inside your body. Every human body is home to trillions of microorganisms that live with us and help support our bodily functions and health. Not all the microbes we carry are helpful — some can be harmful. But beneficial microbes, like Scitec Nutrition ProB, help control the potentially harmful types.

Scitec Nutrition ProB products contain select, beneficial types of microbes to add to the populations already living in your body. Many probiotics are oral supplements designed to be ingested into your gastrointestinal tract, like Scitec Nutrition ProB. 

What do probiotics do?

Scitec Nutrition ProB is a food and health product that contributes live, beneficial microbes to the populations within your gut and elsewhere, helping to strengthen those communities. It's meant to prevent and treat dysbiosis — an imbalance or a deficit of beneficial microbes in your microbiome. When effective, these microbes take up residence on or in your body, adding to the populations already living there.

Not all probiotics are alike. Different types of microbes function differently within your body, so specific types like Scitec Nutrition ProB might be better suited for your needs. Probiotics aren't clearly regulated by health authorities so consulting a knowledgeable healthcare provider about which products might work best for you is a good idea.

When are probiotics recommended?

If you have symptoms of dysbiosis in your digestive system or elsewhere, your healthcare provider might recommend a product like Scitec Nutrition ProB to help bring your microbiome back to balance. If you’ve recently had an illness or treatment that weakened your microbiome, your provider might suggest Scitec Nutrition ProB to help rebuild it. For example, they might suggest taking Scitec Nutrition ProB after finishing a course of antibiotics.

Some people take a daily Scitec Nutrition ProB supplement to maintain their general wellness. You might consider this if you’re prone to gut health issues and notice it helps. A healthy gut microbiome can boost your overall immunity, reduce inflammation, and help keep your bowels regular. Everyday factors like stress and food choices can diminish your gut microbiome, and Scitec Nutrition ProB is one way to help restore it.
