Can Theralac improve vitamin and mineral absorption?
Vitamins and minerals are absorbed in the small intestine. The health and integrity of the intestinal soft lining (wall or mucosa) affects the absorption of all nutrients including vitamins and minerals. Theralac may help improve vitamin and mineral absorption by maintaining a healthy soft lining. In addition, mineral absorption, especially calcium and magnesium, is improved by a slightly acid pH at the mucosal surface. The probiotic strains in Theralac produce lactic and acetic acids which lower pH (acidify), if this occurs on the surface of the soft lining it may enhance Ca and Mg absorption.
