Probiotic 123 provides 3 billion CFU per scoop of beneficial bacteria [Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14), Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (GG), Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-06) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BI-04)] to support gastrointestinal (G.I.) health. Studies indicate the most commonly used probiotics, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, are safe for both adults and children.1 Probiotics promote the presence of beneficial bacteria by competing with pathogens for colonization of the gastrointestinal tract.2 In addition, studies have indicated that probiotics support the mucosal lining of the G.I. tract, helping to maintain healthy intestinal function.2 They control permeability by supporting tight junction integrity, and prevent pathogenic adherence to epithelial cells by increasing mucin release on intestinal surfaces.2
