The Real Thing PRO-Probiotic Capsules

20-billion colony forming units of 10 probiotic bacteria and yeast per dose. It all adds up to improve the functioning of the digestive tract and helps metabolise food in the gastrointestinal tract. Do the math.

GET THE SPECS

What? PRO-biotics are live bugs (like good bacteria or yeasts) that benefit the host they live on (like you). Simple.

What else? PRO-biotics and your body have a SYM-biotic relationship (they work together to survive well).

So what? The Real Thing PRO-Probiotic is a Health Supplement that contains nine strains of healthy bacteria and a PRO-biotic yeast. More specifically, it contains 20-billion colony forming units per dose! Simple. Easy

WHAT’S A COLONY FORMING UNIT?

It’s a measure of the number of live, viable microbes in a substrate. And you will definitely want lots of these in your probiotic supplement, if not in your soups, stews, shakes and meals. The Real Thing PRO-Probiotic contains 20-billion per dose. Bingo!

HOW CAN PRO-PROBIOTIC HELP YOU?

Stress, prescription drugs, alcohol, a high-fat diet, too much red meat and too little dietary fibre can allow bad bacteria to overgrow and take over the gut. This can lead to digestive problems like infections, lactose intolerance, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, Candida and reduced absorption of nutrients. Unless you put more good guys in.

Here’s what good-guy bacteria can do...

  1. IMPROVE FUNCTIONING OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT. Good bacteria in the gut help to normalize the microbial balance in the intestines.
  2. RESTORE HEALTHY FLORA. Antibiotics kill bacteria, but don’t know how to tell the good from the bad. This means they destroy good gut flora as well and this can upset the system and your stomach. Replacing the beneficial bacteria by taking a probiotic can help restore a healthy flora balance.
  3. STRENGTHENS THE GUT BARRIER.  A dysfunctional gut barrier function is associated with digestive difficulties such as leaky gut syndrome and lactose intolerance.

    IN A NUTSHELL
    PRO-Probiotic helps protect against invading organisms and helps strengthen our gut barrier.

 

 

WHAT’S IN PRO-PROBIOTIC?

  1. THE PROBIOTICS

    What?
    Probiotic supplements often contain only one or a few probiotic strains, however, the gut flora includes numerous naturally occurring organisms. The most commonly found are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, but there are well over 400 other bacterial species, and yeasts, such as Saccharomyces boulardii.

    Which ones?
    PRO-PROBIOTICS contains 10 of the most common strains as each one has its own special talents and each contributes to a healthy intestinal environment.

    • Bifidobacterium bifidum
    • Bifidobacterium lactis
    • Bifidobacterium longum
    • Lactobacillus acidophilus
    • Lactobacillus casei
    • Lactobacillus fermentum
    • Lactobacillus paracasei
    • Lactobacillus plantarum
    • Lactobacillus rhamnosus
    • Saccharomyces boulardii
