Compositions comprising probiotic and prebiotic components and mineral salts, with lactoferrin
The present invention relates to compositions comprising probiotic and prebiotic components, mineral salts, lactoferrin, and possibly saccharomycetes, which perform correct, effective colonisation of the probiotic components administered, with enteric consequences which involve maintaining and/or restoring intestinal health and preventing the consequences of common dysbioses of the digestive tract caused by stress, incorrect dietary habits and antibiotic treatments. Said compositions also have a concomitant anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating action.
1. A probiotic composition for oral administration comprising:
at least about 50 billion CFU/g Bifidobacterium longum R175;
at least about 150 billion CFU/g Lactobacillus helveticus R52;
at least about 150 billion CFU/g Lactobacillus plantarum R1012;
one or more prebiotic components selected from inulin, fructose, fructooligosaccharides and mixtures thereof;
one or more metal salts selected from the group consisting of magnesium gluconate, potassium citrate, copper citrate and zinc gluconate; and
one or more excipients.
2. The probiotic composition of claim 1 , further comprising glutathione.
3. A probiotic composition for oral administration comprising (a) probiotics in an amount of at least about: Bifidobacterium longum 50 billion CFU/g, Lactobacillus helveticus 150 billion CFU/g, and Lactobacillus plantarum 150 billion CFU/g, (b) one or more prebiotic components selected from inulin, fructose, fructooligosaccharides and mixtures thereof, (c) one or more metal salts selected from magnesium gluconate, potassium citrate, zinc gluconate, and copper citrate, and (e) excipients.
4. The probiotic composition of claim 3 , further comprising glutathione.
5. A probiotic composition for oral administration comprising
at least about 50 billion CFU/g Bifidobacterium longum;
at least about 150 billion CFU/g Lactobacillus helveticus;
at least about 150 billion CFU/g Lactobacillus plantarum;
a prebiotic component;
a mineral metal salt; and
an excipient.
6. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , wherein Bifidobacterium longum is Bifidobacterium longum R175.
7. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , wherein Lactobacillus helveticus is Lactobacillus helveticus R52.
8. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , wherein Lactobacillus plantarum is Lactobacillus plantarum R1012.
9. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , wherein the prebiotic component is selected from a group consisting of inulin, fructose, fructooligosaccharides, and any combination thereof.
10. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , wherein the mineral metal salt is selected from a group consisting of magnesium, potassium, copper, zinc, and any combination thereof.
11. The probiotic composition of claim 10 , wherein the magnesium salt is magnesium gluconate, the potassium salt is potassium citrate, the copper salt is copper citrate, and the zinc is zinc gluconate.
12. The probiotic composition of claim 5 , further comprising glutathione.
