A bit more about... Probiotics

Healthy Bacteria for a Happy Tummy
The word "probiotic" originates from the Greek signfication for "life". The definition given by the World Health Organisation (WHO), probiotics are microorganisms that, when consumed in sufficient quantities, confer beneficial effects to their host. There has been considerable research into probiotics over the last 20 years and today, it has been clearly established that probiotics help normalise the balance of intestinal flora. The principal actions of probiotics are:

•The production of substances that inhibit pathogenic bacteria
•The modulation of the immune system
•The inhibition of the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria to the intestinal wall
•A direct impact on neuromuscular activity

There are different types of probiotics and each type has a different potential to achieve these benefits. The probiotic strain we use in our Probiotic Chocolate Ombars, is bifidobacterium lactis. Two key benefits of this strain that have been established are that it:

•Maintains the intestinal barrier
•Prevents infections by certain pathogens
Of course all this is only good if by the time you eat the chocolate it has enough probiotics in it to do you some good. To this end, we work with our supplier to get the dosage exactly right - based on the shelf life of Ombars, how we make them and the temperatures involved in processing. In addition to that, our supplier is testing our bars every month to make sure the probiotics are still present in the quantities needed to confer the desired benefits.

Dairy Free?
The 'lacto' part of the name of the strain refers to lactic acid rather than lactose. The product specification for this product declares that it is free from dairy.
