Category: Probiotics (3)
Probiotics are a combination of live beneficial bacteria and/or yeasts that naturally live in your body. Bacteria is usually viewed in a negative light as something that makes you sick. However, you have two kinds of bacteria constantly in and on your body — good bacteria and bad bacteria.
Probiotics are made up of good bacteria that helps keep your body healthy and working well. This good bacterium helps you in many ways, including fighting off bad bacteria when you have too much of it, helping you feel better.
Absolutely! Close to 80% of our immune system resides in the digestive tract. It is essential to maintain a healthy presence of good bacteria and supplementation of probiotics is vital to this success and balance.
The imbalance of intestinal microbiota has been linked as an emerging factor of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress leading CKD associated inflammation into cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in CKD patients. Intervention aiming to restore and maintain proper levels of good bacteria (probiotics) is extremely important.
Probiotics can also help to prevent insulin resistance in people who suffer from diabetes. They are known to stabilize the levels of blood glucose and strengthen the immune system.
Our Friendly Fighters Pro® 2 billion cell formula could easily provide more benefit to one individual vs. other formulas with higher cell counts. Often times, other products pack billions of cells in hopes of at least some making it through the stomach acids to provide their benefits. We circumvent this issue entirely by providing these micro-encapsulated products.
Micro-Encapsulation is done by coating the particles with a special layer that protects them while in the stomach acids. This allows the friendly bacteria cells in Friendly Fighters Pro® to survive the hostile environment of the stomach to multiply and thrive in the intestines where they do their job!
