Preferred Label : Beta-glucan/Lactobacillus casei/Bifidobacterium lactis-based Supplement;
NCIt definition : A synbiotic supplement containing beta-1,3-glucan, bacteria Lactobacillus casei (L.
casei) and Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis), with potential immunomodulating activity.
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 of the
GI tract, the bacteria may form a protective intestinal barrier, thereby preventing
attachment of potential pathogens. Both the probiotics and beta-glucan have been shown
to stimulate the immune system. This supplement also contains several vitamins and
other insoluble polysaccharides.;
