GU ROCTANE PROBIOTICS PLUS SPORT SUPPLEMENT : 60 Capsules

Good digestive and immune health are essential for recovery and continued performance. ROCTANE Probiotic Plus Capsules deliver 10 billion CFUs of probiotics per serving can help promote the growth of beneficial gut microflora.† We’ve also included ginger and licorice root extract, which can help soothe occasional gastrointestinal distress.†

The GI system plays an important, yet often-underestimated role in athletic performance. (Fun fact: Did you know that the number of microbes residing in the gut equals or exceeds the number of cells that make up the human body?) Not only does your GI system convert the food you eat into fuel, it also serves as the first line of defense against invading pathogens so you can stay healthy. However, frequent bouts of high-intensity exercise can damage the gut’s integrity, which opens the door to harmful bacteria. Nutritional interventions, including probiotic supplementation, can provide protection from exercise-induced damage and safeguard the athlete from illness and infection.

Gu uses two powerful, spore-forming probiotic strains in their formula, which is backed by rigorous clinical testing. These strains are tough enough to survive the harsh conditions of the stomach in order to make it to the GI tract where they go to work. Lactospore (Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856) – produces lactic acid and short chain fatty acids (which feed immune cells in the GI tract), promotes defenses against unfavorable bacteria, supports immune responses, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. DE 111 (Bacillus subtilis)—promotes growth of beneficial microflora, is clinically shown to reduce inflammation response in athletes during heavy training, helps maintain digestive health and function, and may assist with reductions in body fat while supporting healthy weight management.

Gu has included two other important ingredients in this formula: ginger root and licorice root. Ginger Root: Alleviates symptoms of nausea and vomiting, Eases symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, Aids digestion by stimulating the movement of food through the digestive tract. Licorice Root is beneficial for digestion (aids motility, or movement of food through digestive tract) and helps soothe irritation and inflammation of the digestive tract.

Storage: These probiotics do not need to be refrigerated. The strains in this formula (Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 and Bacillus subtilis DE111) are a special spore-forming type of probiotic, which are resistant to heat, humidity, and can withstand the harsh acidity of the stomach to germinate in the small intestine where they go to work.
