It is PROBIOTICS and they play an important role in improving and sustaining your immune system.

The nutrients in our Advanced Immune Support consist of vitamins and antioxidants. Probiotics are different.

Antioxidants and vitamins are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage . . . while probiotics are a combination of live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that naturally live in your body.

Probiotics assist in the proper functioning of our digestive system.

According to a Harvard study, potential benefits of probiotics have been seen in the treatment or prevention of:

• diarrhea
• irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• ulcerative colitis
• Chron’s disease
• Pylori (the cause of ulcers)
• vaginal infections
• urinary tract infections
• recurrence of bladder cancer
• infection of the digestive tract caused by Clostridium difficile
• pouchitis (a possible side effect of surgery that removes the color)
• eczema in children

Another research study adds the following conditions that can possibly be improved, in addition to the ones listed by the Harvard study:

• Constipation
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• Gum disease
• Lactose intolerance
• Upper respiratory infections (ear infections, common cold, sinusitis)
• Sepsis (specifically in infants)

As you can see, a digestive system that is out-of-balance can produce quite a few health issues . . .

Thus, it is important that probiotics become a part of your nutritional diet.

Probiotics can be found in some foods:

• Yogurt
• Buttermilk
• Sourdough bread
• Cottage cheese
• Kombucha
• Tempeh
• Fermented pickles
• Fremented sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Miso soup

Just be sure that you keep a good balance of the types of food you eat.

If none of the above foods sound appetizing to you, our Immune+ supplement can provide the support you need for your gut health.

Because the majority of our body’s immune cells live within the gut . . . up to 70% of these cells . . . a poorly balanced gut microbiota can seriously compromise those cells and impede the body’s immune function.

The most common types of probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. Our Immune+ supplement is a blend of 4 strains of probiotic bacteria (40 Billion CFU/g). It contains three types of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Marine Polysaccharide Complex, and Fructooligosaccharide

Here’s a brief explanation of the last two ingredients which you have probably never heard of .

• Marine Polysaccharides – basically assist the immune system by providing prevention and/or treatment of allergic disorders (i.e., allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic eczema are among the commonest causes of chronic ill health).
• Fructooligosaccharide – can be used as a treatment for constipation (as well as treating traveller’s diarrhea), osteoporosis and high cholesterol levels. FOS can also aid immunity (indirectly helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria), and bone health (increases calcium absorption).

 Since you may have heard the word probiotics before, but perhaps never knew exactly what they are good for, I wanted to educate you via the above . . . so you can make an informed decision to take control of your wellness.

Most people think they only need probiotics when they are having issues after taking antibiotics.

 But as you can see from the above, probiotics enhance your gut and immune system in many ways . . . even preventing you from having health issues if you eat the wrong things or all of a sudden face digestive issues and you can’t figure out what is causing them.
