Probiotics - Supporting Intestinal Micro Flora

The digestive system contains vast numbers of micro-organisms, called intestinal flora.  It is an incredible ecosystem of delicately balanced friendly and unfriendly micro-organisms without which, you would die. Probiotic means supporting a vital population of life-giving intestinal flora.

Introduced at birth and in mother's milk, friendly, beneficial intestinal flora flourish in the previously sterile intestine of the baby, providing a foundation for a life time of health and well-being.

The dominance and efficiency of the beneficial flora, in this vast intestinal ecosystem, is essential. Beneficial flora help with:

• immunity,
• nutrient uptake,
• increase bioavailability of minerals,
• enzymes and fatty acids,
• keep unfriendly microbes in check,
• support healthy bowel function - regularity.

Disruption in this balance of friendly microbes affects human health.

Your diet, alcohol, stress, over-the-counter and prescription medications can rapidly change the balance between beneficial flora and unfriendly microbes. The dominance of unfriendly flora disrupts the efficiency of the intestinal ecosystem leading to undesirable concequences like food allergies, gas, bloating, constipation, frequent illness, tired and run down and more. 

The imbalance can be resolved through the use of a probiotic supplement, like NUPRO Bene•Flora^®, to restore and support friendly flora dominance. Eating foods with high fiber content can expedite to repopulation of the intestinal tract with friendly microbes.
