Balloon stomach, bloated and gassy - most common stomach problems in Swedish women.

An upset stomach that doesn't work affects our quality of life. Health site doktorn.com has mapped nearly 3,000 people's stomach problems and the survey shows that harmless but inhibiting problems dominate.  

It has long been known that just over a million Swedes have problems with everyday stomach problems and upset stomachs. In addition to the unpleasant feeling, it also limits social activities and for some it can be so noticeable that you don't even want to go to work because of an upset stomach.  

Two thirds have daily problems

In the survey of 2,930 people, two stated thirds that they had daily problems with their stomach. 75% of the problem group were women aged 20 – 45.

Balloon stomach, bloated, gassy

It is not dramatic complaints that dominate, rather problems that create a feeling of discomfort. 3 out of 4 stated that it is mainly balloon stomach, gas and feeling of bloated stomach that they are tormented by. You may feel that it is important to be close to a toilet, clothes do not fit as they should and social life is limited.​​

Important to help digestion< /strong>

To avoid a balloon stomach, it is important to get the system in balance. An important measure is to make the digestive enzymes work as they should, as these help to break down the food and make the passage as smooth as possible. Digestive enzymes are produced in glands in various places in the digestive system. The glands are found in the mouth, stomach lining and small intestine. Calcium is a mineral that contributes to the normal functioning of digestive enzymes, lactic acid and bifidobacteria break down the food we eat and also help with digestion. Therefore, LactiPlus MAGE is formulated with a combination of both calcium and live lactic acid and bifidobacteria. ‍

Attaches throughout the gut

A wide range of live lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria have the ability to attach in all parts of the intestine, as different strains and genera thrive in different places depending on the pH value and oxygen content. LactiPlus MAGE therefore contains a combination of different strains and genera, combined with calcium which contributes to the proper functioning of the digestive enzymes.
