Probiotics

In addition to serving as a delivery system for the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste material, the intestinal tract also plays important roles in maintaining healthy immunity and providing resistance to pathogens. The GI tract is populated by billions of cells of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) which help us digest and absorb our food, maintain a healthy intestinal pH (acid content), protect us from pathogenic bacteria, and provide an environment conducive to the continued health of the intestinal tract.* Our Acidophilus formula offers two strains of probiotics including L.acidophilus and L. bulgaricus. Both strains offer significant health benefits.   Features: Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14 ) and L. bulgaricus (Lb-64) strains from Danisco, a world leader in probiotics research, development and manufacturing. 500 million viable cells per capsule Danisco’s Bioenhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) are resistant to stomach acid and do not require an enteric coating. The patented poly matrix preservation system helps ensure shelf-stability; therefore Danisco strains do not require refrigeration. Benefits  - L.acidophilus (La-14) has demonstrated strong resistance to stomach acid, as well as to the pH found in the intestinal tract. This allows it to effectively bind to the cells of the intestinal tract and help support their function.* - L.acidophilus produces lactic acid, a chemical that helps keep pathogenic bacteria from colonizing and multiplying within the intestinal tract.* - L.acidophilus also produces lactase enzyme along with vitamin K and substances that help minimize the growth of pathogenic bacteria i.e. bacteriocin and lactocidin.* - L.bulgaricus (Lb-64) has many health benefits. It is a transient strain as it moves through the different sections of the small and large intestine.* - L.bulgaricus (Lb-64) helps to support normal peristalsis (wave-like muscular contractions of the intestinal lining) which helps encourage regular bowel movements. L. bulgaricus also helps support normal digestion and absorption of nutrients and the detoxification of pathogenic substances.* Label

Background: Women have specific needs when it comes to protecting the health of their bodies; particularly when it relates to maintaining healthy genitourinary organs. The health and integrity of the vagina, urethra and bowel are all heavily dependent on the microflora which inhabits them. Lactobacilli bacteria, for example, are most abundant in the vagina and they provide a defense against the overgrowth of bad bacteria that can arise from the use of antibiotics, stress, excess sugar in the diet and other lifestyle factors. Therefore, ensuring a positive balance of these beneficial bacteria is of the utmost importance. Our Women’s Probiotic Formula is combination of proprietary Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium blends that provide 50 Billion live cultures per capsule. Together these species of probiotic bacteria have been shown to support a healthy bacterial balance in the vagina and urethra.* Features: • Strains used in the proprietary blends are exclusively from Danisco, a world leader in probiotic research and manufacturing. • Very high potency at 50 billion viable cells per vegetarian capsule. • Bioenhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) ensures survivability in both low (acid) and high (alkaline) pH environments. • The BEARS strains in this formula are designed to withstand the acid conditions present in the stomach during digestion without the need for enteric coating. • Danisco selects strains that have been cultivated under harsh conditions, and have developed the ability to adapt to extreme changes in environment (“survival of the fittest”) i.e. pH, temperature. • The prebiotic blend consists of FructoOligoSaccharides (FOS) and FiberAid® arabinogalactans, a patented prebiotic from Lonza®. Together they support the growth of probiotics to sustain a healthy balance of microflora Benefits: • The proprietary Lactobacilli blend supports a healthy vaginal ecosystem through the production of antimicrobial substances.* • High potency formula helps to quickly replenish healthy levels of probiotics in the vaginal and urinary tracts.* • A normal healthy intestinal microflora, once established, helps to create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.* • Helps promote the growth of probiotics which have been diminished by the used of antibiotics.*   Feature Sheet 1 Feature Sheet 2 Ingredients

Saccharomyces boulardii, commonly referred to as S. boulardii, is a tropical species of yeast that was isolated from the lychee and mangosteen fruit in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard. Boulard first isolated the yeast after he observed natives of Southeast Asia chewing on the skin of lychee and mangosteen in an attempt to control the symptoms of cholera. In healthy patients, S. boulardii has been shown to be nonpathogenic and nonsystemic, meaning it remains in the gastrointestinal tract rather than spreading elsewhere in the body. S. boulardii is a strain of S. cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and is sometimes used as a probiotic with the purpose of introducing beneficial microbes into the large and small intestines, and to support protection against pathogens. Today, supplemental Saccharomyces Boulardii is commonly used in acute gastrointestinal conditions helping to support intestinal health, travelers’ diarrhea, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in adults and children.FeaturesS. boulardii strain is Non-GMO Project Verified by Gnosis USA Inc., this supplement is under review for product Non-GMO verification.High potency at 5 billion viable cells per capsule guaranteed to the expiration date.Contains 200mg of the prebiotic fiber, Fructooligosaccharide (FOS).Free of major food allergens; milk, egg, fish, shellfish, wheat, gluten, peanuts, soy, tree nuts.
