Probiotic Support for Healthy Immune System

Probi Defendum®

70% of the body’s immune cells are found in the gastrointestinal tract.

Multiple studies have shown that improving gut health is one of the most effective ways to support a strong immune system. That’s why Probi created Probi Defendum®, a probiotic immune concept based on a combination of the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HEAL9 (HEAL9™) and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 8700:2 strains.

Probi Defendum® has proven efficacy and safety in clinical studies involving over 1700 individuals, primarily targeting respiratory health in both adults and children.
