The human body contains almost 2 kg of bacteria and other microorganisms. These can be found on literally every surface of our skin and in our organs, including our stomach, mouth, and intestines. (1)
About a third of this is common to all people, but the remaining 2/3 have a variable composition, just like the pattern of our fingerprints. (1)
All of these bacteria are called the microbiome, and the number of microbes that make up the microbiome is about ten times greater than our own cells. (1)
The adult human body contains almost 100 trillion bacteria with at least 1000 different species that produce almost 3 million genes, which is 150 times more than the human genome. (1)
These numbers show the importance of the microcosm we live with. So important, in fact, that in recent decades the importance of the microbiome-gut-brain axis has been recognized (1)
The most common bacteria in the gut are bifidobacterium and lactobacillus species, which are also widely studied in microbiology (1)
These bacteria are ingested orally and adhere to the GI tract to coexist closely with the human body as members of the normal GI tract flora.
Scitec Nutrition’s ProB contains four strains of live bacteria found in the human gastrointestinal tract, as well as 40 mg of vitamin C.
