Why Linex®?

Your boady contains trillions of microbial cells. The majority of these live in the gut, where they form an ecosystem, known as your microbiota.1 This is made up of a mixture of organisms including bacteria, fungi and archaea.2

These microbes can play an important role in aiding digestion, developing the immune system and boosting health throughout your body.3

Microbiota & the digestive system

1

The food you eat passes into the stomach and then goes down into the small and large intestine4

2

The bacteria in your microbiota help process your food and extrac vital nutrients4

3

They help regulate gut movements5 and produce intestinal gas

4

Your micribiota also interacts with the nucus in your gut and boosts your immune system5

Restore balance with Linex®?

However, taking antibiotics6 as well as lifestyle factors such as stress and diet can all impact the balance of your microbiota and cause health problems.

Linex® probiotics consist of live freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria, the same as found in your intestinal microbiota.

These beneficial bacteria can normalize and restore the gut microbiota.9

They can also help with gastrointestinal disorders such as bloating, flatulence or constipation11 – which can be caused by an imbalance in the gut microbiota.

In addition they can boost your immune system and help prevent infections.7
