Vivomixx® is a concentrated food supplement containing 450 billion of eight different strains of important live bacteria essential to balancing the digestive system.
The intestinal microflora is composed of over 500 different bacterial species that live in a delicate balance between themselves and with the human body. The colon is the region of our gut, where there is the highest concentration of bacteria, between 10 and 100 billion bacteria / ml of fecal material 1500 ml of feces material.
The intestinal microflora is very important for our health because it is able to:
- fight against pathogenic bacteria through a mechanism of competition and the production of antibacterial substances (bacteriocin, H2O2, lactic acid, etc);
- produces short chain fatty acids, the most important nutrition for enteric cells;
- produces vitamins (K, B1, B6, B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid, etc.) which play an important role in different metabolic reactions;
- modulate the maturation of the host’s innate and adoptive immune responses (80% of the immune system is localized in the gut).
Many different factors can affect the balance of intestinal microflora:
- diet
- way of living
- stress
- climate
- travel
- aging
- use of antibiotics or chemotherapy agents
- renal or hepatic illnesses
- inflammatory bowel diseases
- radiations
The alteration of the balance of intestinal microflora causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, excess gas, bloating, changes in bowel habits such as harder, looser or more urgent stools than normal.
Vivomixx is a safe, gluten-free food supplement that can be taken daily to help achieve a balanced digestive system. It does not contain preservatives, coloring agents or synthetic sweeteners.
Vivomixx® contains 10 sachs of 450 billion bacteria:
Streptococcus thermophilus DSM 24731, bifidobacteria (B. breve DSM 24732, B. longum DSM 24736, B. infantis DSM 24737) lactobacilli (L. acidophilus DSM 24735, L. plantarum DSM 24730, L. paracasei DSM 24733, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DSM 24734).
Recommended use
The recommended daily dose is 1-2 sachets; dissolve the contents of the sachet in water, yoghurt or any other cold, non-carbonated drink or food and consume immediately. Do not exceed the recommended daily dosage. Vivomixx® is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Vivomixx® for adults
In healthy adults, the intestinal microflora is in perfect balance with its good and potentially pathogenic bacteria.
Some specific situations such as diet, way of living, use of antibiotics, inflammatory diseases, anxiety, depression, stress etc. may cause alterations of the intestinal microflora, with consequent reduction of “good bacteria”. A reduction in the amount of “good bacteria” present in a healthy gut trigger, a condition called “dysbiosis,” an imbalance that leads to an overgrowth of potential pathogenic bacteria.
This change in the composition of the intestinal microflora is responsible for intestinal discomforts such as abdominal pain, cramps, excess gas, bloating, changes in bowel habits such as harder, looser or more urgent stools than normal. Another consequence of dysbiosis is the translocation of potentially pathogenic bacteria in various parts of the human body, which may be responsible for other infections, for example urinary tract infection, vaginal infection etc.
This alteration is also responsible for the change of intestinal permeability, with possible development of intolerance, allergy and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
“It’s very important to keep the balance
of your intestinal microflora to keep healthy! “
