WHY DO WE NEED PROBIOTICS?

Bacteria can be good or bad. Bad ones can lead to health problems. Many of these are minor issues, like bloating or diarrhea, but they can also lead to more serious health conditions.

Good bacteria are called probiotics. Probiotics help maintain the balance of microorganisms that live in the digestive tract, keeping a healthy ratio of beneficial microorganisms to non-beneficial ones.*

Adding Vitalitown Probiotics to your daily routine helps maintain gut health and boost the immune system, which in turn promotes overall vitality.*

Not All Probiotics Are Created Equal

Vitalitown Shelf Stable Probiotics features 60 Billion live cultures and 19 carefully selected strains enhanced with plant-based prebiotics fiber to nourish probiotics and help them thrive within your digestive tract.

To strengthen the acid- and bile-resistance of our probiotics, advanced delayed release technology is used to protect the microorganism against harsh stomach acid and help them arrive in the intestine where they start colonizing.

Not all strains are the same.

Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are the most recognized genera in probiotics. Lactobacillus usually colonizes in the small intestine, while Bifidobacterium colonizes primarily in the large intestine also known as the colon.
