The probiotic L.reuteri Protectis®
The BioGaia® ProTectis + D3 drops contain L.reuteri Protectis®, the certified probiotic bacterium of the Swedish company BioGaia. Originally isolated from breast milk, it is one of the most studied probiotics in the world and the most studied in infants and children. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in 108 clinical trials (last updated 12/2014).

L.reuteri Protectis® fully meets the requirements of the WHO. for probiotics. In an in vitro study comparing the viability of 35 different probiotic strains in a simulated human gastrointestinal tract over five days, it was shown that L. reuteri Protectis® was one of only three surviving strains. This fact was confirmed in vivo, when its intake by healthy people led to a significant colonization of the stomach, duodenum and ileum.

L. reuteri Protectis® colonizes the entire gastrointestinal tract, prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms, activates the immune system and improves gastrointestinal function.
