60 vegetarian capsules

Our most potent capsule formulation, Biotic Detox Support Detoxification Support delivers large amounts of specific probiotics to the intestinal tract to complement detoxification protocols such as broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-fungal/anti-microbial medications, or heavy metal chelating agents that can compromise friendly flora. Toxins and metabolic by-products generated during use of these agents can exacerbateintestinal dysbiosis and disturb the healthy balance of intestinal flora.

Biotic Detox Support Detoxification Support provides two colonizing Lactobacillus and one endogenous Bifidobacterium probiotic species that can support the body’s natural detoxification process by metabolizing or reducing the uptake of toxins in the gut thereby facilitating the elimination of toxins and by-products from the intestinal tract. Formulated with 50+ billion CFUs per capsule, Biotic Detox Support Detoxification Support uses InTactic® technology to ensure maximum delivery of live microorganisms throughout the intestinal tract.

Biotic Detox Support is recommended whenever support for intestinal detoxification mechanisms is indicated. It may be especially useful in conjunction with agents that may adversely affect the population of beneficial intestinal flora, including during and following use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-microbial or anti-parasitic medications, anti-fungals/anti-candida drugs, or heavy metal chelating compounds. Biotic Detox Support may also be used whenever an intensive approach toreplacement with large quantities of probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteriumis desired.

Role of Probiotics in Detoxification Processes

Probiotics may beneficially modulate intestinal detoxification functions that naturally contribute to a protective effect on the colon. Gut flora, especially following the ingestion of resistant starch, induces the chemo preventive enzyme glutathione transferase in the colon of the rat. In humans, the ingestion of probiotics leads to the excretion of urine with low concentrations of components that are genotoxic in human colon cells and high concentrations of components that induce oxidized DNA bases. When ingested with prebiotics, probiotics facilitate the production of high concentrations of short-chain fatty acids. Butyrate, an important short-chain fatty acid that serves as fuel for colon cells, may inhibit the genotoxic activity of nitrosamides and hydrogen peroxide in human colon cells. Direct binding of heterocyclic aromaticamines (HAs) to the cell walls of certain bacterial strains contained in fermented foods has been observed to take place under physiologically relevant conditions. These observations suggest that intestinal bacteria may be useful for dietary detoxification and protection strategies to facilitate removal of selected mutagens.
