Ingredients explained
Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFM)
Colonizes the gut and interacts with gut-associated immune cells, which may help modulate immune signaling involved in seasonal respiratory comfort.
Caution: Start with the lowest suggested amount to assess tolerance, as probiotics can cause temporary gas or bloating.
Bifidobacterium lactis (BI-04)
Supports gut barrier and immune cell activity in the intestinal lining, which may help maintain a balanced immune response.
Caution: If you are immunocompromised or using immune-suppressing drugs, consult a healthcare professional due to the live microorganism content.
How they work together
L. acidophilus NCFM focuses on colonization and immune modulation in the gut, while B. lactis BI-04 complements by supporting the gut barrier and immune cell activity. Together they address both adherence to the intestinal lining and balanced immune signaling during seasonal challenges.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a physician if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medications (especially immune-suppressing drugs), or have a medical condition (especially if the immune system is compromised). Not intended for children under 4.
Who should be cautious: People with weakened immune systems or on immunosuppressant medications may need extra caution. Those who are pregnant or nursing, or managing medical conditions, should discuss use with a healthcare provider before starting.
Storage: Refrigerate to maintain potency.
