* May help maintain a healthy digestive system: The strains in Ultra Flora Plus may assist in maintaining a healthy digestive system via the following mechanisms:
Stabilizing tight junctions and inhibiting invasion of human intestinal epithelial cells by enterovirulent bacteria.7
In vitro, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria inhibited mucosal adhesion of enteropathogens by competitive exclusion.8
In a review, lactic acid bacteria produced acetic, lactic and propionic acid, lowering the pH which resulted in inhibition of growth of a wide range of bacteria.7
