Probiotic Strains


Bioflex Probiotic strains are the simplest level of identification of probiotics. They are the genetic subtypes of species.

Digestive Enzyme Supplements

Our body absorbs protein by breaking it up into smaller molecules. For this chemical reaction, we need digestive enzymes in our body. Digestive enzymes are essential speeding up this chemical process of breaking down molecules like fats, proteins, and carbs into even smaller molecules that can be quickly absorbed by the stomach. The change in the shape of the enzymes makes them weaker, and they are unable to perform their  tasks. The functions of the enzymes are dependent on their shape.  Heat, diseases, or chemical conditions can damage them and change their shape.  Digestive enzymes are naturally produced in our bodies. They are produced in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine. The three main types of digestive enzymes produced by our body are: Proteases:  It breaks down the protein into small peptides and amino acids Lipases:  It breaks down the fat into three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule Amylases:  It breaks down t...

Microbiota and dysbiosis

  Written By: Dr. Senthil Subramani Biotechnologist | 10 years of experience The composition of the gut microbiota is dynamic so that it varies both in the type and in the abundance of the microbes (mainly bacteria & yeast) throughout life. Hence, the composition of the microbiota of a newborn is an emerging stage and is modified by various internal and external factors that influence its development during all stages of life. The microbiota of an infant is totally different from that of a child, a young person, an adult, or an elderly person. In addition to this physiological fact, the microbial composition of an individual is influenced by other factors that can alter the balance of the gut microbiota. The factors which cause the alteration of the microbiota composition are known as microbial disruptors. The milieu of the gut, “dysbiosis” means the condition in which the imbalance or maladaptation microbial ecosystem, causing the predominance of certain ...

Probiotics refer to the live bacteria that are beneficial for health. They are also termed as “good bacteria” because they reduce the harmful bacteria in the gut and keep the digestive tract healthy. A healthy gut, in turn, helps in maintaining proper body functions. The probiotics can be consumed through fermented foods or health supplements.
