Centiotic Aktiv

Probiotic for a Healthy Intestinal Flora

A healthy intestine with a healthy intestinal flora is the basis for a healthy body and the functioning of all its organs. However, the intestinal flora is often imbalanced, and beneficial bacteria are either underrepresented or have even been destroyed by the use of antibiotics or other measures.

10 Selected Lactic Acid Bacteria in Centiotic Aktiv

With one capsule of Centiotic Aktiv you can provide your body with 10 selected lactic acid bacteria cultures that are considered to be beneficial. The combination of folic acid and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 makes this dietary supplement so valuable. Centiotic Aktiv also contains biotin, sometimes referred to as vitamin B7, and inulin as a dietary fibre and prebiotic. Inulin “feeds” the beneficial intestinal bacteria and can thus contribute to a healthy, natural intestinal flora.

A Healthy Intestinal Flora Has Lactic Acid Bacteria

A completely healthy intestinal flora has all of the selected bacterial strains contained in Centiotic Aktiv present in the different sections of the intestine. When the intestinal flora is disturbed, however, these are present in too low numbers or simply not at all. A common reason for this is taking antibiotics, eating too little fruit and vegetables, or an unhealthy diet with too much fast food and highly processed foods. As a probiotic, Centiotic Aktiv supplies 10 selected lactic acid bacteria cultures that are considered beneficial. It can also be taken, for example, during or after antibiotic therapy.

An Acidic Environment Ensures a Normal Intestinal Environment

In the intestine, which is several metres long, billions of microorganisms ensure that the body can draw vital nutrients from food. In this process, lactic acid bacteria provide the necessary acidic environment through their strong lactic acid formation (and acetic acid formation) — provided they are present in sufficient numbers and quality.

The enteric-coated capsule of Centiotic Aktiv ensures that the lactic acid bacteria are protected from stomach acid and can develop freely at their destination, the intestine. The combination of 10 different strains of lactic acid bacteria ensures that the body is supplied with those bacteria that also occur naturally in the different sections of the intestine and are needed there.
