How Actimel works?

Cold, changeable weather, a hectic lifestyle (lack of sleep, stress and a poor diet) and bacteria are some of the everyday factors that may weaken your natural defences. What most people don't realise is that around 70% of the body's immune system is located in the gut, one of the locations from where immune cells spread around the body to where they are most needed. And this is where Actimel goes to work to help strengthen your body's natural defences*.

 

Actimel contains billions of exclusive L. Casei cultures in each bottle. This quantity is important in ensuring that sufficient L.casei bacteria survive the stomach acids and get to the gut alive and active. This is where Actimel gets to work with our body’s defences helping them in 3 ways:

First it tops up the level of good bacteria in your gut, making life harder for germs.

Second, it helps the gut wall to play its role of barrier. This makes it more difficult for germs to try to get through.

It also helps strengthen your natural defences by improving the response of certain immune cells**. These can then spread around the body via the blood circulation and go where they are needed.
