Probiotic-10 50 Billion CFU - 50 Vegetable Capsule(s) NOW Foods

What are Probiotics?
The World Health Organization defines probiotics as “live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.” In simple terms, probiotics are living bacterium that reside in your gut, and they are the type of “good” bacteria that you need to live a healthy life because they ward off growth of harmful bacteria that can lead to a host of health problems. While some fermented foods – like sauerkraut, kefir, and kimchi – can provide you with probiotics, most Americans do not get enough good bacteria in their foods, and research has shown that taking a probiotic supplement can help you secure multiple health benefits.

A Proprietary Blend
NOW Foods uses a proprietary blend of 10 strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotics, including Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium lactis. L. paracasei has been shown to boost your immune system, balance your gastrointestinal microbiota, alleviate allergic symptoms, decrease skin sensitivities, and more. B. lactis has been studied for its efficacy in preventing various gastro symptoms, especially in children. It also has been shown to combat obesity, boost immunity and prevent infections. Another strain included in NOW’s Probiotic 10 is Lactobacillus acidophilus, which is a type of bacteria found naturally in your intestines. It builds lactic acid by producing an enzyme called lactase. Lactase can break down lactose into lactic acid, so this can have benefits for people who are lactose intolerant.

Keep Your Gut Healthy
Regular use of probiotic supplements has been shown to help maintain healthy populations of friendly flora in your intestinal tract. Probiotic 10 includes fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to help maintain the viability of your system and promote growth of acidophilus and bifidus organisms. (FOS are a form of sweetening carbohydrate that comes from natural sources and has fewer calories than sugar and does not cause spikes in blood sugar.) NOW Foods has been a leader in the natural-products industry since 1968, and its Probiotics-10 formula can help empower you to lead a healthier life. Start getting your insides healthy today!
