Has strong anti-inflammatory properties that are similar to steroid medication commonly used to treat chronic asthma. Supports digestion.

Bifidobacterium longum subsp. Infantis: 300,000,000 cfu per scoop. One of the most important probiotic bacteria found in the body. Abundant in the large intestine. Resistant to gastric acid and bile. Detoxifies toxins and reduces distress. Found to reduce the frequency of gastrointestinal disorders during antibiotic use.

Can reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines while promoting T-cell development and function. Helps to strengthen the intestinal barrier which may decrease the translocation of microbials and reduce inflammatory diseases.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus:12, 000,000,000 cfu per scoop.  Naturally occurring inhabitant of the intestines.
