POW Sports Supplements: Biotic Balance (30 Vegan Capsules)

Each POW Biotic Balance capsule contains 10 billion CFU (colony forming units).

Biotic Balance contains three strains of friendly bacteria:

• Lactobacillus Acidophillus
• Plantarum
  
• Rhamnosus

Did you know.....a healthy gut is essential for breaking down food into nutrients that the body can absorb.

Consumption of friendly bacteria strains may improve intestinal permeability, which encourages food particles to be fully digested leading to improved absorption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids. A healthy gut microbiome has been linked to improved performance and recovery from fatigue and overtraining.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus has been found to increase levels of antioxidants in athletes post intense physical activity. Lactobacillus Plantarum has been found to improve endurance training and improve exercise performance. Studies have found that Lactobacillus Acidophillus can help reduce the severity of diarrhoea and support the immune system.

Psyllium Husk is a natural plant source of soluble fibre. It can support the digestive process by supporting regular bowel movements. This natural fibre has also been found to help lower cholesterol levels and maintain blood sugar levels.
