Professor Heikki Vapaatalo, Head of Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Institute of Biomedicine, University of Helsinki, Finland

9 In the early days, when probiotics was not imported, or air flown to Malaysia, we got our bacteria sources from various local sources of mother s milk, fruits, vegetables and soil Even now the poor and many health folks get their probiotics from local sources

10 Even the 1 st Nobel Prize on probiotics was based on local bacteria

24 Frequently Asked Questions

25 Frequently Asked Questions 1) Probiotics of other brands are imported whereas LACTO-5 is locally made. Imported probiotics are always better. LACTO-5 probiotics is derived from local sources (local fruits, vegetables and soil) which best suit Malaysian s diet and adapts better in our digestive guts.

26 Frequently Asked Questions 2) Probiotics of other brands are higher strength/more billion CFU compared to LACTO-5 / LACTO-5 GOLD. A major misconception in a lot of people is the idea that many different bacteria strains in a probiotics supplement will give more benefits. In multiple-strain products, one strain can begin to dominate the other even during storage, reducing viable bacteria. Thus, it is better to take a synergistic probiotics formulation like LACTO-5/LACTO-5 GOLD that allows effective colonisation of good bacteria in your intestines. 26

27 Frequently Asked Questions 3) Which one should I consume? or 27
