Probiotics are live microorganisms often referred to as "good" or "friendly" bacteria. Best known for supporting digestive balance, they are also believed to support immune function and other aspects of health. As an important part of the body's natural microbiome, probiotics help maintain a healthy balance in the digestive system.
Probiotics are gaining attention for their potential health benefits, but under current EU regulations, they cannot carry health claims on their labels.L.rhamnosus is known to be benefical for the immune system, psychological function and skin health. Pairing probiotics with essential minerals such as Magnesium and Zinc opens up exciting new possibilities in health and nutrition. These Minerals are well-established for their crucial roles in immune defense, bone health, and cellular function. At the same time, the stability and effectiveness of probiotics can be influenced by the type and form of Minerals they are paired with.
Certain Minerals, such as Zinc, are known for their antibacterial properties – which can pose a challenge when formulating with probiotics, as they may reduce the viability of the live bacteria. The key lies in selecting the right form of Zinc or other Minerals that maintains its health benefits without compromising probiotic stability.
Possible health claims for combinations of L.rhamnosus with Magnesium and Zinc :
Live bacterial count indicates stability of bacteria in certain environment and is typically tested under different temperature conditions.
Fluctuations in live bacterial counts are common, so it's important to focus on overall trends. Stable counts suggest good product stability, while a decline during refrigerated storage may indicate strain sensitivity to certain ingredients. Probiotic stability is temperature-dependent and typically decreases at higher temperatures.
