NCIt definition : A powder-based, probiotic supplement drink containing the non-pathogenic microorganisms
Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium lactis,
with potential immunomodulating and protective activities. Upon oral ingestion, the
naturally-occurring bacterial components in this dietary supplement may improve digestion
and help maintain adequate colonization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by modulating
the composition of the normal microflora. During colonization in the GI tract, the
bacteria may form a protective intestinal barrier which may prevent damage to the
mucosal epithelia caused by toxins and attachment of potential pathogens, thereby
protecting against infections. In addition, this agent may reduce the secretion of
proinflammatory cytokines and may potentiate natural and acquired immunity.;
