Probiotics are bacteria similar to the type that resides in our gut; this forms the 'gut flora'. The gut flora is vital for normal healthy digestion and absorption of nutrients, neutralisation of toxins and pathogens.
Colonic implant differs from normal probiotics, instead of being taken by mouth and having to survive stomach acid, the implanted probiotic is delivered directly into the colon. The probiotic implant is a special combination of healthy and beneficial intestinal bacteria. High concentration of probiotics introduced can strengthen, reinforce the gut flora population and restore balance of beneficial bacteria.
