For people who are currently taking antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin, tetracycline, doxycycline), or have recently finished an antibiotic course, A’Biotica is designed to maintain a healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract during and after the antibiotic course. The normal balance of friendly bacteria in our gut is fragile and can easily be disturbed by factors such as stress, diet, ageing, and medication (e.g. antibiotics). A’Biotica promotes a healthy balance of good bacteria, thereby supporting health, digestion and immunity for patients taking antibiotics. |

Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 – a natural component of the friendly bacteria in the intestines; the species is one of the most studied in the probiotic world. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 has been proven to resist bile and gastric acidity over pH 3 – therefore if taken at mealtimes (when pH is around 4), it will pass through the stomach without being damaged. L. rhamnosus Rosell-11 is able to bind strongly to the intestinal cells and helps maintain a strong immune system.
Lactobacillus
acidophilus Rosell-52
– a natural resident
of the intestinal microflora;
this strain of friendly
bacteria has been well
studied to survive the
gastric acids and bile
salts expected at mealtimes
and to reach the intestines
without damage. In addition,
L. acidophilus Rosell-52
can adhere to the cell
wall lining of the intestines
and exert beneficial
effects in terms of
inhibiting intestinal
pathogens and supporting
immune cells.

Did you know that each of us has around 100,000,000,000,000 bacteria in our intestines? That is 10 times the number of cells in our body, and can weigh around 1.5 kg! This microflora consists of both friendly probiotic bacteria and bad pathogenic bacteria that co-exist in a complex ecosystem. Having a healthy balance of probiotics over pathogens plays an important role in digestion and immunity. Friendly bacteria support digestion in several capacities. A healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, produces B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet. A healthy balance of friendly bacteria also helps maintain overall immunity as up to two-thirds of the body’s immunity is managed in the intestines. Where there is a healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines, acidity is high which hinders the growth and survival of bad bacteria, and enables the growth of friendly bacteria to multiply and exclude the bad bacteria. However, the balance of bacteria in the intestines is fragile and can easily be disrupted by several factors such as diet, ageing, environment and antibiotics. A’Biotica is an advanced formulation of unique probiotic strains that proliferate abundantly to fill up the intestines with friendly bacteria helping to support digestive health and immunity. |
