Microbiol Trio Basic, 60 capsules

3 billion viable bacteria per capsule

This product combines the well-known strains Lactobacillus acidophilus, LA-5, Bifidobacterium lactis, BB-12, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and GG, by far the best-known strain. This creates an excellent trio. Microbiol Trio Basis contains 3 billion CFU (colony-forming units, i.e. the number of viable bacteria that can multiply and form a colony). Also available as Microbiol Trio Platinum with 15 billion CFU.

Manufacturer Chr. Hansen

Chr. Hansen is the manufacturer of these bacterial strains and was responsible for much of the research on these specific strains, including the combination in which they are now offered. That is unique and also very important! A bacterial strain (designated with a suffix such as LA-5) is not the same as another, even if they belong to the same genus (in this case Lactobacillus) and species (Lactobacillus acidophilus). Therefore, strain-specific research is especially significant.

Scientific research

There are more than 1,100 scientific publications on the strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GG, of which more than 300 are human studies, making it the most researched Lactobacillus strain in the world. The strain Bifidobacterium lactis, BB-12 is supported by 370 scientific publications and 180 human studies, making it the best researched Bifidobacterium strain. Lactobacillus acidophilus, LA-5 is also well researched and is supported by 150 publications, including 60 human studies.

Quality and shelf life

Chr. Hansen’s advanced production process ensures that the capsules remain stable for a long time at room temperature in the sealed packaging. This is, of course, very practical for everyday use and for retail. In addition, Vitals has chosen dark purple (almost black) glass to protect the contents from the effects of air, light and moisture. Furthermore, the packaging contains a moisture-absorbing sachet and is hermetically sealed with an airtight aluminium seal. This further ensures the viability of these bacterial strains.

About the name Microbiol

The name Microbiol is derived from the term “microbiome”. It refers to all the microorganisms that live in and on our bodies, such as the gut flora. These bacteria have been part of our digestive system since birth. Among them are, for example, lactobacilli. Bacillus rhamnosus GG is also referred to as LGG.
