FAQs
What are Probiotics?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Probiotics as “Living microorganisms, that when taken in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit to the [consumer].” This means that the Probiotic bacteria must be safe for us to take in order to help us improve our overall health by improving our bowel/gut performance and modulating our immune system’s response.
How do they work?
Probiotics provide health benefits through a number of mechanisms including improving food digestion, removal of dietary cholesterol, blocking bad bacteria or pathogens from attaching to the gut wall and by promoting nutrient and water uptake.
Why should I take them?
Certain Probiotics have been shown to reduce the effects of stress on the gut and improve our overall digestion. Because our diets today contain preservatives, sugars and other carbohydrates, we may not be promoting the growth of a diverse population of bacteria in our gut. Probiotics are consumed to help restore a more diverse population of bacteria to improve our digestive process.
Which one is best for me?
Ideally, you need a Probiotic that fits into your active lifestyle. Unfortunately, most Probiotics fall far short of that goal. Most Probiotics are contained in food and dairy products, which means that they must be refrigerated. Additionally, light, heat and moisture combine to reduce the effectiveness of many Probiotics by greatly reducing number of live bacteria. Lastly, most Probiotics today are normally a combination of several different strains of bacteria, so it is difficult to know which strain actually helps you. So, the best Probiotic is one that does not need to be refrigerated, is not sensitive to heat and light and is comprised of a single strain of bacteria.
Your gut – 101
Did you know that in order to live, we are completely dependent upon an open pipe? That’s right, everything we eat or drink goes into one end of this pipe-‐ your mouth -‐ where the process of digestion begins. From there, our food, water and essential nutrients enters the gastrointestinal tract where our food is further digested, absorbed and ultimately expelled as solid waste. In order for us to live, our GI tractis populated with over 100 trillion microbes. Without these microbes we would die. These critical microbes are exposed to EVERYTHING that we eat, drink and experience (e.g. stress, cigarettes, bad food, etc.). The harmful effects of bad diet and stress can alter the number and types of bacteria in our gut. When left unchecked, these changes can result in an imbalance of microbes which can lead to all kinds of critical issues– ulcers, diarrhea, bowel inflammation and more. That is why it is important to replenish your gut microbes with Probiotics. These healthy bacteria help to improve your digestive processes and even modulate your immune system.
Why should I use Doctor Recommended PROBAXSTRA™ SuperStrain Probiotic Complex?
PROBAXSTRA™ is unlike any Probiotic product ever created. The unique formulation includes our patented blend of highly effective components including our SuperStrain Probiotic as the prominent ingredient. Most importantly, PROBAXSTRA™ was designed to be more than just another Probiotic supplement. It literally serves as 4 powerful supplements in 1 daily dose. In addition to what we consider to be the world’s best performing Probiotic strain, PROBAXSTRA™ also contains a powerful matrix of functional attributes that work synergistically to bring a state of homeostasis to your entire digestive system including:
ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants protect the body from damage (oxidative stress) caused by harmful molecules called free radicals. They are very beneficial in helping to reduce inflammatory responses within your digestive system and blood stream. Antioxidants also assist in healthy cellular regeneration and literally serve as the building blocks to anti-‐aging from within. The Antioxidants in PROBAXSTRA™ are derived from a scientifically tested source of whole grape extract and the amount in each serving of PROBAXSTRA™ exceeds the daily recommended amount set forth by the USDA.
ELECTROLYTES AND MINERALS
Although the human body consists of only about 5% minerals, this 5% controls approximately 95% of the body’s metabolic function. They carry electrical charges that are responsible for stimulating muscles and nerves. They also regulate the amount of fluids throughout your body, affecting cellular function, blood volume and blood pressure. Furthermore, maintaining a balance of electrolytes and minerals within the body is critical for helping many biological functions, such as proper digestion and alkalizing the body from within. Sadly the majority of people in today’s society suffer from being overly acidic due to poor eating habits, exposure to toxins and inactivity. The well balanced blend of Electrolytes and Minerals in the PROBAXSTRA™ formulation help to offset the potentially harmful side effects caused by common deficiencies.
VITAMIN AND ENERGY BLEND
PROBAXSTRA™ contains a powerful blend of ingredients that serve as building blocks for your body’s ability to produce natural energy. Included in this list of ingredients is a full spectrum combination of key B Vitamins in their most effective forms. PROBAXSTRA™ delivers clinically proven, therapeutic doses of each B Vitamin to help maximize your body’s natural energy production cycle helping you to feel your very best every single day.
