NutriNeeds Introduces a NEW Probiotic Formula
The intestinal tract is home to hundreds of different types of bacteria. Some are pathogenic (disease causing), but most are watchdogs of the intestinal tract and support the immune system, thus their importance can’t be over emphasized.
Many of the beneficial bacteria fall into one of two categories: Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. There are many strains in each category, and each strain provides its own unique benefits. For example, Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactase enzymes and helps dairy digestion, and Bifidobacterium breve has been shown to protect against rotavirus infections, as well as support the immune system.
Studies show probiotics are fundamental to maintaining a vigorous digestive tract—the foundation of good health. They have demonstrated both immediate and on-going positive health benefits for numerous chronic gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Additionally, they have been shown to help prevent food and environmental allergies, as well as Candidiasis, and to degrade toxins. There is even proof that some strains of probiotics bind mercury and other heavy metals, preventing their absorption into the body. Just these few findings support the importance of a healthy intestinal flora.
Many contemporary lifestyle choices, however, negatively impact the quality and quantity of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Antibiotic use, a high-fat/low-fiber diet, and gastric acid-inhibiting drugs disrupt the healthy balance of bacteria and create an environment that favors the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Although probiotics are found in certain foods, such as yogurt and sauerkraut, their viability and amount may be questionable. Many people require a concentrated supply provided in broad spectrum probiotic supplements.
NEEDS now offers a new, high potency product, Flora Biotic Plus. Flora Biotic Plus contains 35 Billion CFUs, providing a broad spectrum of 14 different probiotic strains. Only one capsule per day is required, offering convenient dosing. All strains are specified and guaranteed, through laboratory validation, that only the strains listed are those found in the product. There are nine different Lactobacillus strains and four different strains of Bifidobacterium, creating a well-rounded formula.
The addition of NutraFlora™ scFOS, a “short chain” fructo-oligosaccharide, provides nutrition for the microflora and promotes adhesion and growth in the intestinal tract.
Many probiotic products list the number of CFUs at the time of manufacture, however, Flora Biotic Plus guarantees 35 billion CFUs up until the time of expiration!
To maximize delivery of the beneficial bacteria to the intestinal tract, the vegetarian capsules are enteric coated to ensure survival through gastric acid. Disintegration tests are performed on every lot to ensure proper intestinal release.
Whether you need a fundamental probiotic or require a high-potency approach, NutriNeeds has developed the probiotics designed to provide outstanding benefits that have become the foundation for good health.
