“Scientists continue to investigate the theory that most diseases begin in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the prime area of absorption and utilization of ingested compounds into the bloodstream and through other areas of the body. A well-functioning gut is one that is abundant with the indigenous beneficial bacterial that act as soldiers in the digestive tract, killing off offensive invaders that seek to gain hold, populate and wreak either slow or fast damage on the body”, Lisa Schonfield, Nutritional Outlook, November/December 2004.   

The awareness of all-natural probiotics has become much more prominent in nutrition. Intestinal health is often taken for granted until there is “a problem.” The body is much better prepared to offer immune response when the digestive tract is strong and maintaining healthy levels of friendly bacteria/flora. Probiotics help regulate the microflora colonies throughout the entire intestinal tract.

• Flora Five offers you Bifidobacterium Lactis, which is isolated from a Kefir culture (a fermented milk from Caucasus), and has been reported to support the entire digestive system.
• Flora Five also supplies the body with Lactobacillus casei which has been found to be very resistant to gastric acidity and is able to grow very well in the presence of bile. L.casei meets the criteria to make a terrific probiotic.
• Flora Five also gives you Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus which are two of the most studied probiotics studied offering significant support of healthy levels of bacteria in the digestive tract and overall well-being.
• Flora Five includes Bifidobacteriaum longum which is of human origin. It is very resistant to gastric acidity and seems to be a good modulator of the immune system.
