• Helps maintain healthy mucous membranes (riboflavin, niacin) Low-FODMAP certified°
  

Who is OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun designed for?

As well as its role in nutrient absorption and the elimination of indigestible waste, our gut plays a vital role in our immune system. 70 per cent of all antibody-producing immune cells are found in our gut. There is a lifelong and intense symbiotic relationship between our body and the bacteria living within it. However, this can be negatively affected by poor diet, chronic stress, lack of sleep or the use of medication. As a result, the natural balance in the colonisation of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ gut bacteria is disrupted; our gut barrier – the intestinal mucosa – becomes permeable to toxins, allergens and foreign pathogens, thereby weakening our immune defences.

Certain gut bacteria, namely bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, produce, amongst other things, butyrate (butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid) in the large intestine, which is the main source of energy for our intestinal epithelium. If it is well supplied, it can fulfil its many functions: these include the targeted absorption of nutrients and the defence against toxins and pathogens. If, on the other hand, butyric acid levels fall, changes occur in the intestinal mucosa – our intestinal barrier is weakened.

Why does OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun work?

To maintain the normal function of the immune system, our body relies, on the one hand, on the presence of ‘good’ gut bacteria and, on the other, on an adequate supply of various nutrients.

OMNi-BiOTiC® FiBRE Immun provides valuable dietary fibre as a food source for important bifidobacteria and lactobacilli – namely resistant starch and acacia fibre extract – as well as essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements, thereby helping to maintain the normal function of the immune system.

Resistant starch stimulates fermentation, thereby promoting:

• the proliferation of important bifidobacteria and lactobacilli
• the production of short-chain fatty acids (such as butyrate) for increased energy
• an increase in biomass (stool volume) = improved transit

The high-quality acacia fibre extract:

• is an easily soluble dietary fibre extracted from the dried sap of the acacia tree
• has been proven to be exceptionally well tolerated

The B vitamins it contains (vitamins B2 and B3) help, amongst other things, to maintain normal mucosal function and thus strengthen the barrier function. Calcium plays an important role in the normal function of digestive enzymes, whilst vitamin D and zinc have been scientifically proven to contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

A dietary supplement containing valuable dietary fibre for gut bacteria.
