Bio Kult is a probiotic supplement which contains 14 strains of good bacteria that is formulated specifically to enhance the immune system and digestive health.

Per capsule, it contains a minimum of 2 billion probiotic microorganisms (2x109CFU/capsule). This is also equivalent to 10 billion probiotic microorganisms per gram (1x1010 CFU/gram).

This comes in the form of capsules but there are some instances in which people take the powder off the capsule and mix it into their food.

1. This protects the bacteria from the acidic environment of the stomach. When the bacteria safely arrives in the intestines, its colonization can occur due to its more favorable environment.

2. This allows the bio kult probiotics to be stored at room temperature without needing it to be refrigerated. This is important because other probiotic strains may be killed due to the environment temperature.

1. Digestive Health Probiotics can aid in the promotion of balance in

the intestinal flora. Studies reveal that increasing the number of

beneficial bacteria in patients with inflammatory bowel disease can help in relieving its symptoms. Also, it benefits patients with this condition because this decreases the length of remission periods and improves the immune system.

Probiotics are widely used in the replacement of the good bacteria lost during long-term antibiotic therapy.

Researchers have found out that probiotics can be an effective complimentary treatment for patients who have infectious diarrhea. Also, there are some studies which suggests the use of probiotics as a part of rehydration therapy in diarrhea.

According to research, probiotics has been shown to be effective in improving the symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome such as abdominal pain/discomfort, bowel irregularities, cramps, bloating, and gas formation.

Additionally, there have been clinical studies which have shown the effectiveness of probiotics in the prevention of Traveller’s diarrhea. Experts recommend taking probiotics before, during, and after the trip. This is essential to allow the establishment of good bacteria environment in the intestines. Thus, this lowers the probability of Traveller’s diarrhea from occuring.

2. Urogenital Health Studies show that the probiotic bacteria can

stimulate the immune system to inhibit Candida from causing conditions such as vaginal thrush, oral thrush, rashes, fatigue, and systemic infection.

With probiotics, the pH of the vagina becomes lowered. Therefore, this kills of the Candida present at the area.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) can also be prevented with the use of probiotics. This is due to the probiotics’ ability to alter the urinary tract environment, making it unfavorable for candida and other harmful organisms.

Probacto is the best probiotic that I have ever run into. They use multiple strains and they are spore forming so they can last while not refrigerated. They do not use cheap bacteria, but expensive ones such as B. Subtilis.

Probacto also contains prebiotics to help stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut.

Probacto contains digestive enzymes to assist in your digestion.

Probacto is enteric coated and made to be slow release so it will release in your gut gradually.

There are various probiotic products which are available in the market today. This is possible because of the studies which are conducted so that the medical field can come up with better probiotics that can cause more beneficial effects and less side effects. Additionally, if possible, research studies should also be done more extensively to discover the exact mechanism in which probiotics act on the body.
