Microbiol Trio Platinum, 60 capsules

15 billion viable bacteria per capsule

This product combines the well-known strains Lactobacillus acidophilus, LA-5, Bifidobacterium lactis, BB-12, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and GG, the latter being the best known. This has resulted in an excellent trio. Microbiol Trio Platinum contains 15 billion CFU (colony-forming units, which describe the number of viable bacteria that can multiply and form a colony). Also available as Microbiol Trio Basic with 3 billion CFU.

Manufacturer: Chr. Hansen

Chr. Hansen is the manufacturer of these bacterial strains and was responsible for much of the research into these specific strains, including the combination in which they are now offered. This is unique and also essential, as one bacterial strain (designated by 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 of particular importance.

Scientific research

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

Quality and shelf life

Chr. Hansen’s advanced production process ensures that the capsules have a long shelf life outside the fridge in their sealed packaging. This is, of course, very practical in everyday use and for retail. Furthermore, Vitals has opted for dark purple (almost black) glass, which protects 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.

On the name ‘Microbiol’

The name Microbiol is derived from the term ‘microbiome’. This 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. They include, for example, lactobacilli. Bacillus rhamnosus GG is also known as LGG.
