Here, it is degraded by the normal bacteria found in the bowel, and this changes the pH, making it more acidic. This has two effects, one is to increase the amount of water in the bowel, which makes the stools softer and allows defecation to occur. The other is to remove harmful ammonia from the system and expel it in faeces, preventing the brain from being exposed to it as happens in PSE.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a Prebiotic:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoses of 2g per day have been demonstrated to increase short-chain fatty acid production in vitro. 5g per day has demonstrated a prebiotic effect producing higher counts of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Anaerostipes with a concomitant rise in branched-chain fatty acids, decrease in branched-chain fatty acids and, pH and ammonia (in vitro model of human large intestine). In vivo studies have demonstrated a bifidogenic effect at a dose of 10g. An initial slow dose and a gradual increase is recommended to prevent side effects such as bloating and flatulence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perth Health \u0026 Fertility","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911804649671,"sku":null,"price":16.97,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6891\/8727\/files\/IMG_8257Ww5spf-Edited.jpg?v=1791964108","url":"https:\/\/perthhealthfertility.com.au\/products\/ariya-purity-lactulose","provider":"Perth Health \u0026 Fertility","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
