Probiotics

BioSpora™ is a powerful, hypoallergenic blend of genetically certified Bacillus coagulans and B. subtilis species formulated to provide unique probiotic support of healthy gastrointestinal and immune function.† Spore-forming bacilli have often been referred to as soil-based microorganisms because of their ubiquitous presence in the earth. When isolated from the human GI tract, spore-forming bacilli have long been thought to be transient bacteria. However, current research shows that Bacillus species are present in the GI tract in numbers higher than can be explained by ingestion alone. Germination of Bacillus spores within the human small intestine and transient colonization is now thought to be part of the normal life cycle of human-associated Bacillus species providing specific stimuli for healthy GI and immune system development and function. Each capsule of BioSpora™ supplies a total of 2 billion CFUs of B. coagulans and B. subtilis spores positively identified through independent 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. The spores are resistant to extremes of heat, ultraviolet radiation, solvents, hydrogen peroxide, and enzymes. The spores withstand stomach acid and germinate in the small intestine within 6 hours of ingestion. Ingested B. coagulans and B. subtilis reside in the human GI tract for up to 7 days following consumption. BioSpora™ is recommended for enhanced support of normal GI and immune function.† It is certified free of casein, gluten, and soy. BioSpora™ does not require refrigeration.

As a dietary supplement take one capsule daily with food or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Capsules may be pulled apart and nutrients taken separately.

While people use probiotics for intestinal health, compelling new evidence indicates that they have a broad-spectrum of health benefits.1-6 Scientists are finding that not having the proper balance of good-to-bad bacteria can wreak havoc throughout the body.7-11

FlorAssist® offers a new way to help maintain the proper balance of intestinal flora.

One of the complications many commercial probiotics face is their inability to overcome hurdles in the digestive tract before hitting their target area—an aspect that can greatly limit their beneficial effects.12 FlorAssist® Probiotic liquid vegetarian capsules utilize a "dual encapsulation" technology to combat the shortcomings of many commercial probiotics, delivering unprecedented amounts of live bacterial colonies to where your body needs them.

FlorAssist® Probiotic liquid vegetarian capsules:

Contain probiotic strains that are acid resistant, protecting them from stomach acid that can destroy the viability of the strains
Have dual encapsulation technology, keeping the capsule intact longer, and ensuring that the probiotic reaches the small intestine
Provide a high CFU (colony forming units) of 15 billion per capsule.
While many supplements provide just one type of bacteria, taking a probiotic with multiple varieties of good bacteria can help better fight off bad bacteria.13 FlorAssist® provides a proprietary blend of six bacterial strains. Each FlorAssist® dual capsule contains 15 Billion CFU (colony forming units) consisting of:

• Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14
• Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04
• Lactobacillus paracasei LPC-37
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR-32
• Bifidobacterium bifidum/lactis BB-02
• Bifidobacterium longum BL-05

These potent strains of probiotic bacteria adhere to the soft lining of the intestinal tract and help maintain a healthy surface and aid in support for the digestive system.

A 10B CFU concentrated blend of 4 Bifidobacterium probiotic species to support gastrointestinal and immune health.^†

Detail Overview

Bifidobacteria play an important role in supporting gut health, digestion, and immune health.^† These specific Bifidobacterium strains may assist in supporting a balanced intestinal environment by producing lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other fermentation products that may help support the body’s natural defenses against unfriendly bacteria, yeast, and viruses.^† These probiotic species may also help support the immune system by competing with unwanted or harmful bacteria for nutrients and space for colonization.^† They also produce short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) which nourish the colon.^† Ther-Biotic® Bifido is free of prebiotics to support those who are sensitive to specific starches and fibers. Because this product is made up of exclusively Bifidobacteria, it may be ideal for those who have concerns about the potential histamine-producing activity of certain strains of Lactobacillus bacteria.
