Probio 20 Bacterial Complex 21 Billion CFU | 180 Capsules | Vit4ever

Probio 20 Bacterial Complex by Vit4ever

Bacterial complex Probio 20 by Vit4ever is made up of 20 lactic acid bacteria strains, including well-known names such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. A daily dose of 2 capsules provides 21 billion colony-forming units (CFUs), combined with organically grown inulin. One jar contains 180 capsules, sufficient for 90 days of use.

20 strains in a single capsule

The difference lies in the breadth of the composition. Instead of choosing one or two strains, Vit4ever combines 20 different cultures in a freeze-dried form. Among the 20 strains are Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri. Freeze-dried means that the moisture has been gently removed from the cultures, so they can be stored in a stable powder form until the time of consumption. Each strain is grown separately and only brought together in a late production stage into the final mixture. By combining them, a broadly composed bacterial complex is created instead of a preparation with a single species. By the way, the number of 20 strains was deliberately chosen: fewer strains would limit the breadth of the complex, while even more strains would actually reduce the amount per strain.

Why inulin has been added

In addition to the bacterial strains, each capsule contains organically grown inulin (BIO-control number DE-OKO-006). Inulin is a fiber that occurs naturally in plants such as chicory. Some people deliberately combine the use of a broad bacterial complex with a high-fiber diet to further supplement the fiber intake throughout the day. This way, you know exactly which strains you are dealing with, instead of a vague designation such as 'lactic acid bacteria' without further specification. What many people do not know: inulin itself provides hardly any calories because the body does not process the fiber as sugar. That makes inulin different from, for example, regular sugar, which the body does break down and absorb quickly in the small intestine.

The capsule

Vit4ever uses JC capsules that are designed to dissolve only in the intestine. The shell is made up of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, gellan gum and organic flaxseed flour, all plant-based raw materials. In addition, each batch is tested for the presence of the indicated strains, so that the composition on the label matches what is actually in the capsule. The purity of the raw materials and the absence of unwanted substances are also checked before a batch is released for sale. That step is standard in Vit4ever's production process.

Vegan, without unnecessary additives

The bacterial complex is completely plant-based and suitable for those who choose a vegan lifestyle. The product is also GMO-free and free from magnesium stearate, artificial colors and flavors, stabilizers and preservatives. Production takes place according to the current EU standards for food supplements, and 74 percent of the ingredients come from organic farming. Two capsules per day with sufficient water is the recommended intake, preferably at a fixed time so that it becomes easier to maintain the use. With 180 capsules in a jar and 2 per day, you end up with exactly 90 days, a quarter of a year of use in a single package.
