Why Nutri-Health® Multi-Probiotic® Formulas?
Many probiotic cultures are needed to support good health. You take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement every day because your body needs all its vitamins and minerals. You take a daily multi-strain probiotic supplement for the same reason – your body needs more than just a few cultures to stay healthy. Flora Source® Multi-Probiotic® Formula contains 16 strains and 16 billion** CFU (colony forming units, also called cells or active cultures) per capsule.
The digestive tract normally has 400-500 cultures and trillions of cells. A multi-strain formula has been shown to be more effective to maintain good health and more closely duplicate the normal intestinal ecology than single cultures.
Lactobacilli strains primarily work in the small intestine to aid digestion and absorption. Bifidobacteria strains work in the large intestine to detoxify the colon and assist normal elimination. A variety of both Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria strains is optimal.
