What are the 35624® and 1714® cultures?
They are both naturally occurring and safe bacterial cultures, unique to PrecisionBiotics® and belonging to the Bifidobacterium longum species. These types of bacteria can be passed from mother to baby at birth and are native to the human gut. Both were discovered by PrecisionBiotics® and have been the focus of research by internationally renowned scientists and clinicians. Both have been fully genetically sequenced.
Are the strains in Alflorex® Dual Action compatible?
Mixing bacterial strains together can mean their individual properties are effected and they may even knock each other out. The clinical data for multiple strain formulations should be for the specified combination and not extrapolated from that of the individual strains.
A clinical trial confirmed the combination of the 35624® and 1714 ® strains were synergistic. These strains are contained in Alflorex® Dual Action
Why have you added calcium to the product?
Alflorex® Dual Action has been formulated to combine the unique 35624® strain and calcium, to support digestive health, as calcium plays an important role in supporting the normal functioning of digestive enzymes. Only 120mg of calcium is contained in each capsule of Alflorex® Dual Action, which equates to 15% of the NRV (the safe upper limit for calcium intake is 2500mg).
The calcium carbonate used in Alflorex® Dual Action is one of the most commonly used forms of calcium additives in food, and has been approved for its safety by the European Food Safety Authority, and international food safety organisations. The safety of calcium carbonate has been well established.
How many bacteria are in each capsule of Alflorex® Dual Action?
A single Alflorex® Dual Action capsule contains one billion bacteria, or 1x109 colony forming units (CFUs), at the time of manufacture. The dose in the capsule remains effective throughout its shelf-life. CFUs are an indication of how many bacterial cells are present. The number of bacteria in each Alflorex® Dual Action capsule has been chosen for optimal balance.
