Supplement Spotlight: Proflora Excellence SB
Provides 35 billion friendly bacteria, improving the immune response during a course of antibiotics to help the body fight off pathogens.*
Probiotics are naturally-occurring protective bacteria that sup-port health in several ways:
- Raising antibody immune cells that fight off invading pathogens.*
- Assisting with digestion and absorption of nutrients.*
- Helping fight overgrowth of harmful bacteria.*
- Maintaining bowel health and avoiding constipation.*
- Restoring friendly bacteria after antibiotics or stomach illness.*
- Supporting blood sugar health and insulin sensitivity.*
How Does A Deficiency Occur?
Friendly gut bacteria can be wiped out during a course of antibiotics that kill both good and bad bacteria. S. boulardii survives antibiotics and helps protect against diarrhea and bacterial toxins such as C. diff 2.
Other factors that disrupt gut bacteria include stress, exposure to food-borne pathogens, and a typical western diet. Traditionally, fermented foods such as sauerkraut, cultured dairy, and kefir were a frequent part of the diet. Since these foods are rarely consumed today, many individuals can benefit from supplement-ing with probiotics.
Why Proflora Excellence SB?
Proflora Excellence SB provides 35 billion friendly bacteria, improv-ing the immune response during a course of antibiotics to help the body fight off pathogens. Proflora Excellence SB is designed to deliver live bacteria to the GI tract with capsules that are stable up to 104° F. Upon consumption, the gastro-resistant capsules break down slowly to ensure a targeted release of friendly bacteria in the intestines. .
