 "Digestive Flora for assisting the digestive system and assisting in Nutrient absorption"Digestive enzymes are proteins designed to break down foods into nutrients that your body can then readily digest. The human body produces 22 different digestive enzymes Your intestinal tract is the home to literally trillions of microorganisms. Some of them are harmful but most are beneficial to your healthy by aiding digestion, creating vitamins, and inhibiting the growth of disease-promoting bacteria. Digestive Flora enhances digestive processes through the use of the fiber supplement arabinogalactan (AG) and probiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus sporogenes and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is essential to have a healthy intestinal flora for optimal healthy. When there is a disruption in intestinal homeostasis, digestive and absorptive functions may be compromised, as well as vital immune functions. Probiotics (meaning "for life") is the term for a large number of non-pathogenic and beneficial bacteria that live in the intestinal tract, boosting the immune system and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. In addition, intestinal flora produces vitamins b1, b2, b6, b12, K, folic acid, and biotin. Key IngredientsArabinogalactan is a water-soluble polymer found in uniquely high concentrations in the larch tree. AG, a fermentable fiber, remains undigested in the stomach. It passes to the large intestine, or colon, where it enhances growth of the body's friendly bacteria, such as Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. Dr. Peter D' Aamo, author of the book Eat Right for Your Type, said, "AG is probably one of the most exciting new discoveries to the nutraceutical industry. We already discovered its powerful immune-enhancing benefits and ability to promote colon health. As research continues, scientists will likely discover further health benefits." Lactobacillus sporogenes also acts as a superior probiotic and has been shown in clinical reports from Japan to be effective in assisting digestive health. In most cases, ingestion of a minimum of 300 million spores a day is sufficient to see results. With 100 million spores per capsule of Digestive Flora, one can easily meet this minimum requirement by taking the recommended dosage. Lactobacillus acidophilus, a natural inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract, may support healthy cholesterol maintenance, inhibition of undesirable bacteria, immune response, and promote cellular health. Undigested AG is fermented in the large intestine or colon and becomes short chain fatty acids, which may promote healthy intestinal mucosa. AG also supports beneficial gastrointestinal bacteria like Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria found in the body. The first AG human clinical study at the university of Minnesota in 1998 confirmed AG's probiotic fiber and immune-enhancing functions. In vitro cell studies have shown that AG stimulates the human immune system to a greater degree than echinacea. It does so by stimulating the "natural killer" cell function and activating phagocytosis. In several other clinical studies, AG supported the body in its efforts to fight unhealthy cellular growth. Potential Benefits:
Nutritional FactsBesides nutrient assimilation, the gastrointestinal tract must also eliminate waste. Ineffective toxin elimination can lead to an imbalanced ratio of good-to-bad bacteria and lead to numerous health concerns including yeast infections, diarrhea, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, headaches, and many other health concerns. No organic solvents are used in the extraction of AG from the larch tree. AG extract, soluble in warm water, is in its natural form after being "soaked and pressed" from the larch tree. Lactobacillus sporogenes is on of many species of lactobacillus that produces lactic acid. Studies conducted at the Department of Cardiology of the G.B. Pant Hospital in New Delhi concluded that oral Lactobacillus sporogenes therapy had both hypolipidemic and hypercholesterolemic effects. Digestive Flora
