Immune system, intestine and vitamin D

The human immune system is a complex network of organs, tissues, cells, and signaling molecules. The intestine and the intestinal mucosa are also in close interaction with the immune system.

The intestinal microbiome consists of a large number of different microorganisms and is in constant exchange with the intestinal mucosa and the body's own defense system.

The composition of the intestinal microbiome can be influenced by diet, medication, age, lifestyle, and various environmental factors, among others.

OMNi-BiOTiC® Pro-Vi 5 supplements the intestinal microbiome with 5 selected bacterial strains and combines them with vitamin D.

Vitamin D and the immune system

Vitamin D performs various functions in the human body and contributes in particular to the normal function of the immune system.

Furthermore, vitamin D contributes to:

• the maintenance of normal bones

• the maintenance of normal muscle function

• the maintenance of normal teeth

to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus

• to a normal blood calcium level

• to the normal function of the immune system

• and has a function in cell division

Vitamin D can be formed in the skin under the influence of sunlight. However, endogenous production depends on factors such as season, geographical location, time spent outdoors, skin type, and age.

Especially during the months with less sunlight, the body's own vitamin D production can therefore be lower.

How does OMNi-BiOTiC® Pro-Vi 5 work?

OMNi-BiOTiC® Pro-Vi 5 contains a specially formulated combination of 5 selected bacterial strains.

With each sachet, at least 5 billion viable and reproductive bacteria are supplied to the intestinal microbiome.

With two sachets daily, this equals at least 10 billion bacteria.

Additionally, OMNi-BiOTiC® Pro-Vi 5 contains vitamin D in the form of cholecalciferol.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, thus supplementing the bacterial combination with an important micronutrient.
