A healthy intestinal tract is home to trillions of
microorganisms. There are hundreds of different species of these
“beneficial bacteria.” They help us with digestion and absorption of
nutrients, and they produce B vitamins, immune factors and enzymes – all
important to optimum health.
Unfortunately, chlorine in drinking water,
antibiotics in meat, and some pain-relief medications tend to kill off
these beneficial organisms and allow harmful organisms to become
dominant.
Probiotics are supplements containing beneficial
organisms that are intended to provide enough of these “good guys” to
displace the harmful organisms. Most probiotic formulas supply 4 or 5
strains of beneficial bacteria that have been cultured separately and
then combined in the product. They generally require refrigeration and
have limited shelf life.
AlliPRO contains patented stabilized Allicin – the
active pathogen-killing ingredient in garlic. This stabilized Allicin is
a PREbiotic, because it selectively kills the harmful
organisms and allows the beneficial ones to flourish.
AlliPRO also contains a special type of
PRObiotic that contains all the usual bacterial species, plus
many more, that have been cultured together in a complete eco-system.
Because this is what was intended in nature, this probiotic retains full
potency even when stored at room temperature. This remarkable probiotic
eco-system inhibits growth of all harmful organisms, notably molds. It
basically kicks them out and then doesn’t let them back in.
AlliPro is a
remarkable prebiotic/probiotic formula that can provide tremendous
benefits for intestinal health and overall health.
