Synbiotic improves digestive health
This study looked into how a specific synbiotic product, which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus along with other probiotics and fructooligosaccharides, affects digestive health among healthy adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we monitored 36 participants—20 women and 16 men aged between 25 and 45 years—over six weeks.

Participants received either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, taking three tablets daily. We gathered information on gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habits through a self-administered questionnaire, focusing especially on those who experienced digestive disturbances like mild dyspepsia or bloating.

The results were promising; those who took the synbiotic product reported significant improvements in their overall gastrointestinal well-being and bowel movements. Interestingly, we also noted a reduction in a specific immune marker, L-selectin, in the synbiotic group, which could indicate a favorable shift in their immune profile. However, while the improvements in gut health were noteworthy, none of the other immunological parameters were significantly altered.

In summary, this study suggests that including Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a synbiotic supplement can lead to better digestive comfort and may influence immune-related markers positively. However, pinpointing the exact effect of this specific strain on indigestion alone is challenging, given the multi-strain nature of the synbiotic treatment.

Essential digestive aid
A must for good health! This is an amazing product! I believe all Garden of Life products are excellent. We face much stress affecting our digestive systems. Taking one Primal Defense Ultra each night on an empty stomach ensures I can 'go' every morning and supports my digestion effectively, alleviating gas, bloating, and indigestion. It's a cheap insurance for my digestive efficiency and nutrient absorption. I notice a significant difference, and it's worth the cost. Thanks to iHerb, it’s affordable!
