Bio-Kult is a scientifically developed, advanced multi-strain formula containing 14 live bacterial cultures, proven to survive the high acidity of stomach acid.
Bio-Kult contains live bacteria to complement the existing gut flora naturally present in a healthy person’s digestive system.
Bio-Kult probiotic capsules can be pulled apart and the contents sprinkled on to food, mixed in a drink or swallowed whole.
Along the normal gut lining, there are epithelial cells forming tight junctions that allow only small particles of digested food through to the bloodstream. Leaky gut or intestinal permeability refer to the gut lining, allowing bacteria and some undigested nutrients into the bloodstream. Instead of being absorbed and digested, these molecules circulate throughout the bloodstream. Here, they stimulate the immune system and, in turn, immune system cells react to their presence, as they would to any foreign protein, by initiating an inflammatory reaction that leads to autoantibody production and autoimmune disease development.
Evidence for this theory includes the presence of gastrointestinal tissue damage seen in patients with a number of different autoimmune diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.

Common factors predisposing Leaky Gut Syndrome include antibiotics, alcohol, caffeine, parasites, pathogenic bacteria, some food preservatives and additives, allergic states such as gluten sensitivity and lactose intolerance, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, refined carbohydrates, oral contraceptives and fungi. Chronic inflammation from these sources damages the protective coat of immunoglobulin (antibody) A, which interferes with the body’s normal ability to inhibit these substances.
