Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes: Buy in Portugal
In this collection you will find probiotics and digestive enzymes from NOW Foods, Applied Nutrition and other brands, in capsules that are easy to fit into your daily routine. We describe each product by its composition, so you can compare and choose with clear information.
Probiotics: supplements with live cultures, mainly from the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera. The key selection criteria are the number of strains, the CFU count per serving (for example 8 or 25 billion), whether the CFU count is guaranteed until the end of shelf life, and whether the product needs refrigeration.
Digestive enzymes: formulas combining proteases, amylases, lipases and sometimes lactase or cellulase, of plant, fungal or animal origin. Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes; see the minerals range if you are looking for a calcium source.
Colostrum and other products: we also stock bovine colostrum capsules, described by the amount per serving. For amino acids such as L-glutamine, see amino acids; for plant extracts, the herbal supplements section.
How to take: always follow the manufacturer's directions, do not exceed the recommended daily dose and store probiotics as stated on the label. Food supplements are no substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
