Life Extension FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable Natural Strawberry Description

  • Fuels Healthy Gut Flora

Probiotic bacteria help promote a healthy digestive environment — but how do you promote a healthy environment for beneficial probiotics? Each strawberry flavored tablet of FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable contains a scientifically validated dose of PreticX™ prebiotic fiber, which contains 70% xylooligosaccharides to optimize growth potential of the beneficial bifidobacteria.

 

Benefits at a Glance

  • If you are taking a PRO-biotic supplement, a PRE-biotic can help!
  • Prebiotics promote a healthy environment for beneficial bifidobacteria
  • This unique prebiotic fiber is more effective in small doses
  • Small-dose prebiotic fibers reduce the chances of gastrointestinal upset
  • FLORASSIST Prebiotic also supports intestine, colon cell, and immune health
  • Convenient chewables in a delicious, natural strawberry flavor

Bifidobacteria metabolize important types of dietary carbohydrates. They also support immune system response, provide essential fuel to cells of the digestive tract, and more. They help you, so now it’s your turn to give your beneficial bacteria a boost: Try FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable today.

 

Bifidobacteria occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract. In fact, they flourish in young people, but drastically decrease in number as we age. This may be due to complex individual factors, such as a person’s physiology, immune system, and lifestyle.

A Probiotics Glossary: Common Terms & What They Mean

Probiotics overcame massive skepticism—and ignorance—to become the wildly popular microbial cocktails they are today. Probiotics play a substantial role in regulating our overall health, particularly our digestive and immune systems. And exciting new research continues to turn up remarkable links between the microbiome and the brain. According to the New York Times, “scientists are finding evidence that microbiome may play a role not just in Alzheimer’s disease, but Parkinson’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, autism and other conditions.”

Still, probiotics remain something of an alien supplement, with their impossible-to-pronounce  strains, ginormous numbers of CFUs and other unfamiliar terms. We thought it would be helpful to break down all the gobbledygook into easy to understand concepts. You wondered, we “micro”-splained:

Here’s our primer of eight key probiotic terms and what they mean.

Probiotics definition list

1. Microbiome

The totality of the collective of genomes that flourish in our gut. There are actually many communities of distinct bacteria that protect us against germs, break down food to release energy and produce vitamins.

2. Microflora

Similar to the microbiome but on a smaller scale, intestinal microflora refers to the bacteria and other organisms that live inside the intestines. Other microflora habitats include the skin and genitals.

3. CFU or CFUs

CFUs are an acronym for Colony Forming Units, the scientific term for “number of organisms” (i.e., how many microbes are in the colony of microbes in the product, or in your intestine). For probiotics to be considered viable, the CFUs should contain quantities in the billions. The amount of CFUs in a probiotic can play a big part in the probiotic’s efficacy.

4. Fermentation

Fermentation uses microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, to break down food into a simpler form, such as grapes into wine, milk into yogurt, cabbage into sauerkraut. Fermentation adds beneficial bacteria to your diet, preserves food and enhances its digestibility.

5. Friendly Bacteria & Yeast

Live bacteria and yeasts are “friendly” because they benefit the body, specifically the digestive system, by helping digest food and destroy disease-causing microorganisms.

According to a recent study, health benefits have been associated with these specific strains: LactobacillusBifidobacteriumSaccharomycesEnterococcusStreptococcusPediococcus, LeuconostocBacillusEscherichia coli

6. Prebiotic

A prebiotic is a natural nutrient that allows probiotics to thrive. Excellent sources of dietary fiber, some prebiotics have also been shown to enhance the absorption of important minerals like calcium.

7. Inulin

Inulin is perhaps the best-known prebiotic. It occurs naturally in thousands of edible plants, including asparagus, artichokes, bananas, barley, chicory, garlic, rye and wheat.

8. Synbiotic

A synbiotic blends both probiotics and prebiotics. It makes sense to ensure your supplement contains both pro- and prebiotics, because the two work in tandem to deliver a robust supply of gut-friendly bacteria.
