The effect of the food supplement Kõhsõber® INDUCIA® has been studied in a clinical trial



Many people experience indigestion at some point in their lives, which can lead to abdominal pain, bloating, constipation or diarrhea. Antibiotic treatment can be one of the causes of gut microbiome disturbances, but a one-sided diet, lack of exercise and stress can also have an effect.

In clinical studies, it has been found that the consumption of the probiotic L. plantarum INDUCIA® helps maintain and balance the intestinal microbiota and increases the amount of beneficial lactobacilli, which ensures better absorption of nutrients. L. plantarum INDUCIA® is a bacterial strain isolated from a healthy Estonian child, which was discovered and developed as a probiotic by BioCC OÜ researchers in cooperation with Tartu University researchers.

Synergistic effect of L. plantarum INDUCIA ® and xylitol

Xylitol, or birch sugar, is a natural sweetener that many people know as an important ingredient in chewing gum and lozenges because it supports dental health. But xylitol also has a beneficial effect on digestion - some of the xylitol eaten reaches the large intestine, where it is food for good bacteria. Xylitol has prebiotic-like properties, helping to increase the number of beneficial bacteria in our gut.

A clinical trial in 2017 looked at the effect and tolerability of a synbiotic product of L. plantarum INDUCIA ® and xylitol in the age group 65+. It was an open study, the aim of which was to evaluate the tolerability of two different amounts of xylitol (15g and 20g). In the study, INDUCIA ® and xylitol showed positive effects on digestion, and participants experienced a reduction in constipation.
In addition, it has been found that the prophylactic use of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum INDUCIA ® and xylitol helps to prevent dysbiosis, i.e. the imbalance of the intestinal microbiota, occurring during and after antibiotic treatment and to reduce the risk of diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile
