Two outstanding professionals, Dr. Martin Gotteland and Dr. Harsharnjit Gill gave lectures on the benefits of probiotics as well as the immune and gastrointestinal health aspects. Approx. 200 persons attended the seminar: Health authorities, physicians, investigators from Inta Institute and professionals related to the health area.
Health benefits
The human gut contains about 1-2 kg of bacteria. And 10 times more bacteria than cells in the body. So bacteria are a natural part of the human intestinal function.
Several factors can suppress the immune function: Age, malnutrition, disease, pollutants/chemicals/pesticides, overuse of antibiotics and drugs, lack of sleep and stress.
Tests have shown that the probiotic L. rhamnosus enhances the immune function and protects against intestinal infections. Furthermore L. rhamnosus can help protect against intestinal infections like Salmonella, E. coli and Rotavirus.
