WHAT ARE PROBIOTICS?
                         WHAT PART DO PROBIOTICS PLAY IN
                                 OVERALL GOOD HEALTH?

                A probiotic has been defined as "live micro organisms administered in adequate
               amounts which confer a beneficial health effect on the host."

               According to US Probiotics.org "preliminary studies report that certain probiotics
               can play a role in reducing the development of allergies in children, decreasing
               Helicobacter pylori colonization of the stomach, help patients cope with side
               effects of antibiotic therapy, managing relapse of some inflammatory bowel
               conditions, decreasing the risk of certain cancers, decreasing dental caries-
               causing microbes in the mouth, and keeping healthy people healthy." As you
               can see, the potential benefits of probiotic supplementation are many and varied.

             The purpose of a probiotic is to help promote friendly bacteria that normally live
              in the intestinal tract.  Probiotic bacterial cultures are intended to assist the
              body's natural gut flora reestablish itself. "Good" or "friendly" bacteria can be
              destroyed by stress, poor diet, antibiotics and various medications, age
              illness and disease. When "good" bacteria is destroyed or becomes out of
              balance,  serious diseases or illnesses can develop. Many times, probiotic
              supplementation is recommended by doctors and even more frequently by
              nutritionists. Probiotics are believed to strengthen the immune system for
              better defense against disease.

              There has been much information in the media emphasizing the need for daily
              probiotic supplementation to support good health. There is ample information
              available as to the benefits of probiotic supplementation. We have provided

            Using a probiotic can help support digestion, promote immunity and aid in the
            elimination of harmful toxins. Probiotics also help regulate intestinal functions
            that can greatly improve colon distress. The use of a probiotic helps to improve
            growth of friendly bacteria, enhances vitamin and mineral absorption, soothes
            an irritable bowel and helps increase the body's own natural resistance to harmful
            bacteria therefore offering needed immune support.  Probiotics are found in some
            whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, "live" yogurt or sauerkraut and kambucha.
