Metagenics UltraFlora Immune Booster Probiotic - Daily Immune Support - 30 Vegetarian Capsules

What is Metagenics UltraFlora Immune Booster?

Metagenics UltraFlora Immune Booster is a probiotic designed to naturally support the immune system. It contains two specific bacterial strains: Lactobacillus paracasei 8700:2 and Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL9, selected for their potential to maintain respiratory health and the body's defenses. Each vegetarian capsule provides 1 billion CFU (colony-forming units) in a stable formula that does not require refrigeration, ideal for daily use.

Benefits for the Immune System and Respiratory Health

A strong immune system is the body's first line of defense. This probiotic contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system (EFSA-approved claim for probiotics in general). The included strains have been researched for their role in maintaining the health of the upper respiratory tract, helping to prepare natural defenses against seasonal factors.

Furthermore, being a probiotic, it promotes the balance of the gut microbiota, which is closely related to the immune response. A healthy microbiome is key for optimal protection.

Key Ingredients: Specific Probiotic Strains

Lactobacillus paracasei 8700:2: This strain has been studied for its ability to modulate the immune response and promote mucous membrane health, including nasal and sinus membranes.

Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL9: Known for its resistance and intestinal adherence, this strain supports immune function and helps maintain respiratory well-being.

Both strains are presented in a clean formula: non-GMO, gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians, and free of common allergens. The absence of artificial ingredients makes it a reliable option for daily care.
