The travel company that can save the holiday.
We travel to distant destinations like never before. Thailand alone receives roughly 300,000 Swedes per year. But the more exciting and remote the destinations, the greater the risk of an upset stomach and the holiday having to be spent on the toilet. But with the right preparations, the risk can be reduced or even completely eliminated.
"Tourist stomach" is a global phenomenon. As soon as we move across a continent, or between continents, we also move between different bacterial cultures. This means changes and foreign bacteria that suddenly reach the stomach and intestines, mainly via food and drink. The statistics clearly show that this is a widespread problem. According to the travel barometer, almost 50% of all travelers suffer from some form of "tourist stomach".
Risk a week on the toilet
The risk of "tourist stomach" varies with destination and it is mainly food and drink that are the cause of the problems. In a third of cases, it is the well-known and feared E-coli bacteria that disturbs the intestinal flora. The result is, in the worst case, a week in the hotel toilet with accompanying stomach cramps and nausea.
The unique lactic acid yeast from Asia
The French microbiologist Henri Boulard traveled in 1923 on an expedition to Southeast Asia where he discovered that the inhabitants made tea from the peel of lychee and mangosteen fruit to relieve stomach upsets. Henri managed to identify and isolate a unique yeast with probiotic properties from the fruits which he later gave his surname, Saccharomyces Boulardii.
In the years since its discovery, S. Boulardii has been scientifically studied in more than 100 clinical trials worldwide and is today also found in the travel product LactiPlus TRAVEL, identical to the original.
A travel product worthy of the name
LactiPlus TRAVEL is manufactured by world-leading Lallemand Health Solutions in Canada and contains in addition S. Boulardii a well-studied broad spectrum of 4 billion live lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria from 3 different strains. With one capsule a day, one package of LactiPlus TRAVEL is enough for 30 days of travel for one person. You can hardly imagine a better travel companion.

S.Boulardii - The probiotic yeast that saves the holidays
The year is 1923. The French microbiologist Henri Boulard is traveling through Southeast Asia and finds himself in the middle of a cholera epidemic. He discovers that the locals make tea from the peel of lychee and mangosteen fruit to relieve the acute diarrhea caused by cholera, which makes him curious.
The importance of eating lactic acid bacteria
Poor diet and a lifestyle with high stress expose the intestinal flora to great challenges. It is known today that the species richness and amount of bacteria in the intestinal flora is affected by how we live and what we eat, and that the greater the species richness of the intestinal flora, the better resistance we have to disease and imbalance.
The small child's important intestinal flora
The intestinal flora is established and gradually develops in different stages during these 1,000 days. Diversity and composition of the intestinal flora is affected by several factors.
Microorganisms and probiotics
The word probiotics was coined as early as 1965, but originally comes from the Greek and means "for life". The World Health Organization WHO has later defined the word and its meaning...
Assured survival and patented protection technologies
The properties and activity of lactic acid bacteria depend on their viability in the gastrointestinal tract of the host where they primarily act.

About the intestine and the microflora
The intestine is the boundary between the outside and the inside of the body and also the body's most important area for contact and exchange.
About lactic acid bacteria
Microorganisms are found everywhere on earth and in both humans and animals. In all the water, in the air we breathe and in the food we eat.
Balloon stomach, bloated and gassy - most common stomach problems in Swedish women.
Balloon stomach, bloated and gassy are by far the most common stomach problems in Swedish women.
Characterization shows the special properties of the bacterial strains.
There are many different strains of, for example, Lactobacillus acidophilus, but they do not all have the same properties, but affect their environment in different ways
