Life Choice™ Laktokhan is a probiotic supplement of exceptional quality and effectiveness that contains 10 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of four human strains of “friendly” intestinal micro-flora, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium longum. These friendly bacteria help keep harmful bacteria from multiplying in our intestines. Antibiotics can kill off healthy bacteria and lead to weakened immunity and intestinal disorders. Laktokhan is taken from a healthy human GI tract, and then cultured and processed from the laboratory. Most of the strains in Laktokhan can survive intestinal acid and bile, and they implant themselves on specific intestinal receptors, thus contributing to a longer-lasting, consistently beneficial effect. Each Laktokhan capsule has 400 mg of FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) prebiotics (food that enables the good probiotic bacteria to survive for 3 years or more) as well as inulin. Only the beneficial bacteria are fed, not the harmful organisms. Unlike other probiotic brands, Laktokhan maintains its potency without refrigeration, making it ideal to take when travelling. By maintaining a balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria, Laktokhan helps to manage acute infectious diarrhea and reduces the frequency of gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and nausea, during antibiotic use. Laktokhan restores the balance of good bacteria, thus helping to normalize digestive function and boost immunity. Generally, probiotics are known for their digestion abilities, but not as much for their immunity properties. However, Laktokhan probiotics are not just for healthy digestion. Studies have shown that people suffering from Type 2 Diabetes have high levels of pathogens in their intestines. This hostile environment can also reduce sensitivity to medication. When probiotics build up good intestinal bacteria, however, pathogens have a harder time sticking to the intestines. The immune system improves and is able to produce needed nutrients. In another study, students who had colds and were supplemented with 1 billion CFUs experienced their symptoms for 4 days, versus 6 days with the placebo group.
