The children’s straws (for ages 3 and older) contain rapeseed oil and the probiotic. They, too, contain 1 billion CFU of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 at time of manufacture. The straws are individually wrapped in foil and extend once pulled upon. The 35624 culture is suspended in the oil droplet in the straw at the blue end of the straw. The blue end should be placed in a cool liquid. I highly suggest trying many and since none of the are actually tested by federal testing labs.. who knows what we really are getting in most cases. The excess histamine is then absorbed through the lining of the intestinal tract and into the bloodstream, causing symptoms similar to an allergic reaction ( 27). Some bacterial strains used in probiotic supplements can produce histamine inside the digestive tract of humans ( 19, 20, 21).

At the end of the eight week trial, those taking B. infantis 35624 saw improvement in bloating, abdominal pain and constipation Fermented products can contain a wide variety of bacteria and minerals that contribute to gut diversity. It's hard to know what bacteria is in these foods and what bacteria your body needs, so it’s worth experimenting by including a range of them in your diet (gradually, not all at once!). The most common amines found in probiotic-rich foods include histamine, tyramine, tryptamine and phenylethylamine ( 14). The manufacturer's recommended dosage is 1 Unit (capsule, straw, or tablet) per day for each product. Marketing materials say it " is the #1 Gastroenterologist recommended probiotic culture in the U.S.” This claim is based on a survey performed in 2017 among doctors and/or gastroenterologists who recommended a brand of probiotic by a human data service company, AlphaImpactRx. Marketing materials also state that it is the winner of awards from Irish pharmacists and industry experts, who voted it the winner of Best Gastrointestinal Product for 3 years in a row at the Irish Pharmacy News OTC (over-the-counter) Awards.

I had taken the normal Alflorex before, but since seeing this new product, Dual Action, for stress/anxiety as well as IBS symptoms, it has been a game changer. I have always struggled with stress, and find my IBS really flares up during stressful times, so this really appealed to me to combat both. I have been taking this product for a month now, and have seen such an improvement in not just my IBS symptoms, but also how I manage my stress, and my motivation levels. It is such a great product, and I have felt such differences since taking it! Probiotics are generally classed as food rather than medicine, which means they don't go through the rigorous testing medicines do. Probiotic ‘good bacteria’ occur naturally in your gut and play a crucial role in this microscopic world. However, they can be disrupted by a range of factors, including poor diet, stress or taking a course of antibiotics.

Probiotic yoghurt drinks such as Actimel and Yakult, along with live yoghurt, have been supermarket staples for many years and, as such, have a little more research behind them than some of the more recent fermented food options. Stopped: B. Longum BB536 (Morinaga) probiotic for gut related health issues (IBS) -> switched to b. infantis 35624 (Alflorex)

All of our products contain bacteria that occur naturally in the human gut and are at home there.

I’m naturally sceptical when it comes to probiotic products. Before I was officially diagnosed with IBS, I tried expensive supermarket probiotic drinks like Yakult and Actimel because I imagined they’d fix my tempestuous stomach. Turns out, not so much. Fermented drinks, such as kombucha (a slightly sour, fizzy flavoured drink made from sweetened tea and bacterial cultures) and foods such as miso, kimchi and sauerkraut, are associated with positive digestive health, but the evidence for this is somewhat limited. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts promoted as having various health benefits. They're usually added to yoghurts or taken as food supplements, and are often described as "good" or "friendly" bacteria. attributes: "-_--_--_--_--_--_--_-Best match-_-grid-_-search successfull:1>-_--_--_--_--_--_--_-No-_--_--_--_-0-_-0-_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_-Home | Brand: Alflorex-_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_-1" We produce a pure formulation, with no added bulk yoghurt or animal cultures, to provide a PrecisionBiotic® product that we can guarantee and that clinicians can recommend.
