Proflor 30 - 30 pcs

Proflor-30 (often referred to as Proflora Daily or similar product variations) is a food supplement containing live lactic acid bacteria and, in some formulations, prebiotic fiber (Fructo-oligosaccharides or FOS). This combination (synbiotic) helps to introduce beneficial microorganisms to the gut and provide the fiber necessary for them to thrive. The goal is to correct imbalances in the gut microbiome (dysbiosis) caused by factors like poor diet, stress, or antibiotic use. 

Benefits of Proflor-30:

The supplement offers several benefits related to gastrointestinal health: 

Ø  Restores Gut Balance: Helps in maintaining and restoring the natural balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

Ø  Alleviates Digestive Discomfort: Reduces symptoms such as flatulence, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.

Ø  Manages Specific Conditions: May help in managing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and potentially improving the eradication rate of H. pylori infections when used with other treatments.

Ø  Boosts Immunity: A healthy gut microbiome contributes significantly to a strong immune system.

Ø  Improves Nutrient Absorption: Aids in the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients. 

Ingredients of Proflor-30

The specific strains and quantities can vary slightly by product variation (e.g., "Daily", "Fiber", "Restore Plus"), but generally include a mix of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. Common ingredients may include: 

Ø  Probiotic Strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis.

Ø  Prebiotic Fiber: Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) which act as food for the probiotics.

Uses of Proflor-30:

Proflor-30 is used as a daily food supplement for: 

Ø  Individuals experiencing general intestinal discomfort.

Ø  People with chronic digestive issues like IBS or occasional constipation/diarrhea.

Ø  Patients taking antibiotics to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and restore flora balance.

Side Effects of Proflor-30:

Probiotics are generally considered safe for most people, and side effects are usually mild and temporary. 

Ø  Common Side Effects: Mild gas, bloating, or temporary diarrhea may occur as the gut microbiome adjusts to the new bacteria.

Ø  Precautions: Consult a doctor before use if you have a weakened immune system (e.g., due to chemotherapy or HIV infection), a high fever with diarrhea lasting more than two days, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.

Ø  Interactions: Probiotics containing live bacteria should be taken at least 2 to 3 hours before or after antibiotics to ensure the live cultures are effective.
