ProBiota Base - 150 Grams

ProBiota Base provides a combination of high quality prebiotic fiber that provide the ideal habitat for beneficial probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. Dr Ben selected the purest forms of prebiotic fiber available to ensure that ProBiota Base would be the best prebiotic supplement available.

Prebiotics do more than just feed probiotic bacteria; the natural fibers in ProBiota Base also support:

• Optimal Immune Function
• Regular Bowel Movements
• Improved gut barrier
• Increased mineral absorption
• Defenses against harmful disease-causing bacteria

How do Prebiotics function in the body?

Inulin and Oligofructose: Inulin and oligofructose are inulin-type fructan prebiotics commonly found in chicory, onions, asparagus, bananas, garlic, and leeks. Inulin and oligofructose are used as an energy source by healthful intestinal bacteria (especially bifidobacteria), which ferment them into short-chain fatty acids. These short-chain fatty acids beneficially increase the intestinal acidity (lower pH) and provide critical nourishment for the colon. They also enhance the absorption of essential minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) in the colon, assist intestinal reabsorption of water, and enhance intestinal barrier function. In addition, by promoting the proliferation of healthful bifidobacteria, inulin-type fructans help increase fecal bulk and optimize stool consistency.

Larch Arabinogalactan: Larch arabinogalactan (Larix occidentalis), commonly known as the larch tree, contains a unique type of soluble dietary fiber (arabinogalactan) that enhances immune function. Arabinogalactan can also be found in numerous plants, including carrots, radishes, and tomatoes, as well as many medicinal herbs. Arabinogalactan enhances the immune system by blocking viruses and bacteria from attaching to cell membranes, stimulating natural killer cell activity, and increasing the number of immune cells, particularly macrophages, present in the blood system. Research indicates arabinogalactan may also have important benefits for the colon as it has been shown to reduce ammonia generation and absorption, support the growth of beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria, and increase short-chain fatty acid production.

Beta-Glucan: Beta-Glucan is a type of soluble dietary fiber that is found in baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), oats and barley fiber, and mushrooms. Research suggests that beta-glucan has immune supportive properties through the enhancement of monocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells. Beta-glucan may also modulate the immune response to a wide spectrum of pathogens, including fungal (Candida albicans), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), and Gram-negative (E. coli) microorganisms. This product provides beta-glucan from purified Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
