Supplement of the Month 

Let’s talk a little bit about probiotics.  It’s incredible how much misguided information about probiotics there is out there.  Good thing is that there is no harm if you are consuming food or supplements that are probiotics.  However, your putting effort into doing something good for yourself so I wanted to share how to do it properly to get the actual health benefits and what those health benefits are. 

 In Prosynbiotic there are pre and probiotics.  Prebiotics are what feed probiotics.  For example : Say you buy a fruit tree.  You eat all the fruit from the tree but never water it, fertilize it, give it any sun. Eventually the tree dies.  The Probiotics in this example is the fruit and the Prebiotics is the water, fertilizer, and sun.   So if you taking probiotics great.  You are getting benefits as you take the supplement but you will have to take the supplement for the rest of your life to maintain the benefits.  Or, you can take probiotics with prebiotics which will feed and flourish the bacteria for continual health benefits.

 In Prosynbiotic there is a synergistic blend of four research-supported probiotic strains and two prebiotic fibers to support gut flora and overall intestinal health. 

 The two Prebiotic fibers are chicory root and galactooligosaccharide.  Chicory root is one of the highest fiber vegetables.  Also called inulin that you can take all on it’s own. 

The second prebiotic is Galactooligosacchrides ( GOS )

A study done with NIH reports utilizing galactooligosacchrides ( GOS) which are found in milk and vegetables when used with a probiotic ,shows the synergistic blend had anti cancerous properties, better mineral absorption, lipid metabolism and anti inflammatory and immune boosting effects.

The World Health Organization defines probiotics as “live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host”

 Three of the four probiotics used in prosynbiotic are three strands of Lactobacillus and one strand of Bifidobacteria .

 These are the most needed bacteria in the stomach to help you properly digest food and fight off infection. These probiotics are also the easiest to digest and utilize to flourish the digest tract.

 These can be found in fermented food but it greatly depends on how its made and stored. 

For example :

Frozen yogurt and frozen kefir are not going to work for a yeast infection or diarrhea because once the yogurt or kefir is frozen, the bacteria die.

 Unfortunately, food manufacturers have overused the word “probiotic,” applying it to bacteria that haven’t been scientifically proven to have any specific health benefits. This has led the European Food Safety Authority to ban the word “probiotic” on all foods in the EU.

The benefits of utilizing prosynbiotic's synergistic blend of Prebiotic and Probiotics are :

• General digestion problems
• Irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS),
• Colic
• Various Types of Diarrhea
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease ( IBD)
• Inflammation of the colon

• Improved surgery recovery time

• Contains inulin and galactooligosaccharide (nondigestible carbohydrates), both of which are used by probiotic bacteria as food

• Useful in maintaining a healthy gut microbial environment

• Helps support the body's natural absorption of calcium and magnesium

• Supports normal bowel regularity and consistency

• Supports the body's natural immune system response function

• Boost the Immune system

The community of microorganisms that lives on us and in us is called the “microbiome,” and it’s a hot topic for research. The Human Microbiome Project, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from 2007 to 2016, played a key role in this research by mapping the normal bacteria that live in and on the healthy human body. With this understanding of a normal microbiome as the basis, researchers around the world, including many supported by NIH, are now exploring the links between changes in the microbiome and various diseases. They’re also developing new therapeutic approaches designed to modify the microbiome to treat disease and support health.
