Aliness IBS Balance 10 bln. is a highly specialized preparation that belongs to the group of synbiotics, i.e. the supplements containing probiotic strains along with prebiotics with the effect of regulating the growth of the proper flora, whose normal composition is particularly important in case of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The product contains as many as 10 billion bacterial cells, which, thanks to the microencapsulation technology, that is, the placement of probiotic microorganisms in the structure resembling cell membranes, are characterized by 100% survivability in difficult conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, placement of the capsules in a violet glass bottle protects the sensitive carrier substances against oxidation and decomposition processes.

The product consists of:
Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve – bacterial strains that are the first to colonize the digestive system of newborns. Thanks to the production of organic acids, they reduce the pH of the gastrointestinal tract, which induces unfavorable conditions for the existence of C. difficile, H. pylori, E. coli and Candida pathogens. Moreover, thanks to the use of a special formula, BIFIFOS W11™, Bifidobacterium longum has been immunized against one of the popular antibiotics – rifaximin.

Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus – lactic acid bacteria colonizing the digestive tract, as well as the genital tract of women. The studies proved their participation in the process of fat digestion through metabolic modifications of fatty acids. In addition, they normalize the function of the neuronal axis HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) and also modulate the central action of GABA receptors, which is associated with a reduction in the feeling of tension and stress.

The importance of bacterial flora
When stripping off the human body into single components, we realize that it is made up of many cells that, by grouping together, form tissues, and then systems with specific functions. It is worth emphasizing, however, that human cells are not the only ones constituting the unity of the system. We tend to forget about the symbiotic organisms living on the skin and mucous membranes – bacteria or fungi. Their role in maintaining homeostasis is invaluable – e.g. they regulate immune functions, inactivate toxins, seal the intestinal mucosal barrier, and they are a source of vitamin K. Therefore, one should not underestimate the symptoms that may denote the impoverishment of the systemic flora.

The beneficial effect of probiotics on IBS symptoms
Almost everyone experienced unpleasant gastric complaints in the form of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. These afflictions often exclude from normal functioning, not allowing for doing everyday routine activities. One of the clinical conditions, characterized by an increased amount and changed consistency of bowel movements along with abdominal pain for a period of several months is irritable bowel syndrome.

Not many people know that this is associated with visceral innervation of abdomen organs. There are as many nerve cells throughout the digestive tract as in the spinal cord itself! This fact emphasizes the importance of caring for the good condition of the digestive system.

The most common reason for the occurrence of such conditions is an incorrect diet, which has a huge impact on the imbalance between pathogenic microorganisms and probiotic bacteria that colonize the colon. The production of toxins causes damage to the epithelium and irritation of the nerve endings, which manifests itself in the aforementioned ailments.

It is possible to prevent such afflictions through a regular supplementation of symbiotes. Colonizing large intestine, they are not idle because they primarily inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines, whose high concentration results in the development of inflammation, responsible, among others, for feeling pain. In addition, they stimulate the immune processes of the host (they increase the production of IgA antibodies), but above all, they coordinate the functions of the cerebral-gut axis, affecting the daily behavior and mood.

Comprehensive health-promoting effect
Currently, many older people are struggling with metabolic ailments that also have a detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system. They include obesity or type II diabetes, predisposing to hypertension. It turns out that these problems may be related to the colonization of the digestive tract by the bad flora.

In clinical trials, it was shown that probiotic supplementation significantly improved the insulin sensitivity of tissues, thanks to which the level of glucose in blood was reduced. This was accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of the inflammatory marker – CRP, as well as improved lipid profile parameters in the scope of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

Addition to promote the growth of symbiotes
Bacterial cells, similarly to cells in the human system, need energetic or regulatory substances for proper growth and development. Compounds that promote the growth of symbiotic strains, and inhibit the multiplication of pathogens, are referred to as prebiotics.

The formula applied, Fibregum™ Bio LAW, has low water activity, which allows optimal activation of the enzymes needed to carry out the life processes of bacteria, protecting them against self-liquidation. In contrast to the commonly used inulin, the polysaccharides used in the preparation are fermented more slowly, causing no bloating and intestinal gases.

In summary, Aliness IBS Balance 10 bln. is a preparation containing an optimal number of probiotic strains that comprehensively support the proper functioning of the digestive system. In addition to reducing the risk of unpleasant digestive ailments, probiotic strains also promote immunomodulation and have a significant effect on the metabolic function of the body.
