Probiotic Pearls provide a winning combination of two differing live cultures that support the
all-important health of the intestinal tract. Probiotics help keep skin healthy by removing
damaging toxins and free radicals. More importantly, probiotics can provide relief from
constipation, lactose intolerance, gas, bloating and unsettled stomachs.
Guaranteed Delivery Probiotic Pearls are
guaranteed to deliver living and useful cultures to where your body needs them most. The pea-sized
Probiotic Pearls can send up to 9 times more living cultures to the intestine than other probiotic
manufacturers. Each tiny capsule contains one billion cfu, which is the recommended daily
amount.
The capsules active ingredients are Lactobacillus acidophilis and Bifidobacterium longum. Other
ingredients include soy, gelatin, palm oil, pectin, vegetable glycerin and soy lecithin. The
capsules should be taken once daily with water or food. The Pearls should not be chewed or
crushed.
The strict manufacturing processes used in creating Probiotic Pearls means that they are guaranteed
to be free from artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, corn, gluten, preservatives, salt,
sugar, wheat and yeast.
Lactobacillus Acidophilis L. acidophilus is
generally found in the small intestine. It is responsible for producing natural antibiotics known
as acidophilin and lactocidin. These are useful in improving our body’s immune response against
damaging fungi and bacteria. L. acidophilus also prevents harmful bacteria from establishing
themselves by making a colony that covers the intestinal walls.
L. acidophilus decreases the possibility of the onset of diarrhea and other diseases and
infections. It is also able to stop the production of some forms of cancer. While yoghurt is indeed
a source of L. acidophilus, most of the bacteria from this source are killed off by bile and
stomach acid before they can get to the intestines.
The patented Probiotic Pearls capsule make sure that live cultures aren’t damaged by harmful
stomach acids and can safely arrive at the intestines to begin their health-giving work. The
encapsulation technique used in Probiotic Pearls ensures that the product is perfectly preserved at
room temperature for up to a year and a half. Many rival products are unstable - even at room
temperature - and the cultures are not able to live for more than a year,
Bifidobacterium Longum Bifidobacteria are common
to the human digestive systems. Breastfed babies begin colonizing bifidobacteria almost right away.
As we age, these colonies begin to die unless they are restocked via supplements. The health of
bifidobacteria colonies depend on diet, stress and whether antibiotics are being taken.
The B. longum strain is highly represented in the large intestine. It is useful in stopping the
establishment of harmful bacteria and yeasts by colonizing the wall of the intestine. It is
partially responsible for producing acetic and lactic acids. These lower the pH of the intestine
and add a further barrier to the establishment of unwanted bacteria.
Research has shown that B. longum can reduce the number of incidents of gastrointestinal disorders
such diarrhea. It can also help increase the nutritional value of some foods, as well as possessing
the ability to manufacture essential digestive enzymes and B vitamins. B. longum can improve
calcium absorption and also reduce the appearance of colonic tumors.
