This \u003cstrong\u003eprobiotic\u003c\/strong\u003e from Swanson does exactly that: five carefully selected bacterial strains together with digestive enzymes, in one and the same plant-based capsule. You take one per day, with your largest meal. Convenient for those looking for a simple combination of live bacteria and enzymes, without having to gather a whole collection of loose jars on the kitchen counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive strains in a capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule delivers 5 billion colony forming units from five different strains: Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. These are lactic acid bacteria from genera that naturally occur in the human intestinal tract. The names sound complicated, but they tell you exactly which bacterium it is: first the genus, then the species. By putting multiple strains together, you get a broader company than with a product containing only a single strain. Each strain has its own properties and behaves just a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy enzymes are also included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the bacteria, there are 250 mg of pancreatine in each capsule. Pancreatine is a mixture of three digestive enzymes: amylase, protease and lipase. Because they are in a capsule together with the bacteria, you do not need to take them separately. That is also where the name probiotics with digestive enzymes comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e5 billion CFU, what is that?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCFU stands for colony forming units. It is the standard way to count the number of live microorganisms in a probiotic. Swanson guarantees 5 billion CFU at the time of production, distributed across the five strains. So the number tells you something about how many live bacteria you get per capsule, and not about the weight or volume. A higher CFU count simply means more live units per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant-based capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule itself is made of hypromellose, a plant-based material derived from cellulose. Please note: pancreatine is usually of animal origin, which is why this product is not labeled as vegan or vegetarian. Many people wonder if you always have to store probiotics in the refrigerator. With this product, that is not necessary. The formula is designed so that the bacteria remain stable until the expiration date, as long as you store the jar in a cool and dry place, away from heat and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: five bacterial strains and three enzymes in a plant-based capsule, one per day with a meal. Neatly composed, with a jar that lasts about two months with daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52433898537298,"sku":"Swanson-020","price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/ProbioticDigestiveSwanson.jpg?v=1767859806","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/swanson-probiotica-spijsverteringsenzymen-5-miljard-cfu-60-capsules","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
