Lifesource Vitamins Mood Formula Probiotics (50 Billion) featuring key probiotic strains in clinically-studied amounts that support mood, emotional well-being, and relaxation.

Beginning in the early 2000s, science teams began to study the correlation between the gut microbiome and exactly how the brain functions. Physicians had long observed that many patients with digestive symptoms also had mental health issues, and vice versa. Scientists now widely accept the idea of a “gut-brain axis” — the two-way communication link between the GI tract and the central nervous system. Our Mood Formula 50 Billion probiotic with Stress Support Blend contains L. helveticus and B. longum strains in the amounts clinically shown to support mood, emotional well-being, and relaxation.

Probiotics Overview:

40% of the Worlds Population Suffers from Digestive Health Issues and more than 50% of these people have a moderate to severe impact on their overall health and mental well-being.

70-80% of the body’s immune cells are located within the gastrointestinal tract. Providing clinically documented probiotic bacteria may modulate immune responses and support the body’s natural defense.

• No nutrient is more closely associated with Immune Health than Probiotics, other than Vitamin D.
• Lifesource Vitamins probiotics feature Bio-Enhanced Acid Resistant Strains (B.E.A.R.S) that are cultivated to be gastric resistant and bile tolerant which eliminates the need for enteric coating.
• Each strain is carefully selected for efficacy using 50 factors, such as digestibility, acid tolerance, antibiotic sensitivity, and pathogen inhibition.
• From raw material handling, climate, and humidity-controlled manufacturing, and multi-stage quality control, you can trust the best-in-class manufacturing of Lifesource Vitamins to provide the very best probiotics for you and your family.
• All of our Probiotics are manufactured to be shelf-stable without the need for refrigeration. (Upon opening them, we would like you to refrigerate them if possible, but not mandatory)

We Offer Unmatched Stable Probiotic Strains

We use only highly stable probiotic strains, each exposed to a series of harsh environments to develop heat, moisture, pressure, acidity, alkalinity, and antibiotic resistance. This resistance is critical in ensuring that probiotics survive long enough to fulfill their purpose.

Highly Specialized Low Moisture Materials

We use industry-leading, low moisture excipients, and capsules, limiting the amount of moisture trapped in the final packaging. The moisture level in the package is also controlled by a molecular sieve during its time on the shelf. Your products are protected by a highly controlled refrigeration system to help significantly extend the shelf stability of your probiotics.

Extremely Low Moisture Manufacturing Process

Our state-of-the-art climate control system, in-process moisture testing, and strict SOPs to control the entire ecosystem ensure that relative humidity and moisture are kept to a minimum and are among the lowest in the industry.

Packaging – Our Insulated Double Wall Bottles have an active inner core of moisture-absorbing polymers that:

• Reduce Light
• Trap Moisture
• Insulate the Probiotic
• Protection remains active for the life of the product even after the bottle is opened.
• Capsules see virtually no moisture due to the moisture being trapped before entering the headspace, due to the built-in desiccant wall in our bottles.

What are probiotics?

Probiotics are edible products containing helpful or “friendly” bacteria (usually Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium) that normally inhabit the human digestive tract.

Why are probiotics necessary?

Probiotics are used to increase the number of beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract, promoting an environment for good bacteria to flourish.

· Restore normal microflora balance, especially during use of antibiotics
· Aids & assists in digestion
· Helps Facilitate the production of vitamins and metabolites
· Support our immune system and its overall functionality

What are the indications that probiotic supplementation may be beneficial or even necessary?

In addition to digestive health, there are studies and growing evidence that show that balancing levels of normal flora through probiotic supplementation has numerous other health benefits.

• Increased Energy
• Cognitive function and performance
• Overall Skin health
• Liver health & functionality
• Mood stability and stress response
• Cardiovascular function
• Immune strengthening & function
• Metabolic function

Other Benefits of Probiotic Supplementation:

The positive effect of probiotics and prebiotics on mood.

Research shows taking probiotics may be helpful in managing symptoms associated with mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress, and memory, among others.

The probiotic strains Lactobacillus Helveticas and Bifidobacterium Longum have been shown to benefit people suffering from anxiety and depression.

According to the Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ) there has been an 85% increase in Google searches of ‘probiotics for stress’. (American Psychological Association (2020). Stress in America™ 2020: A National Mental Health Crisis)

Healthy Skin - Increasingly, scientific publications indicate probiotic bacteria and especially lactobacilli can provide benefits for the skin.2 Specifically, lactobacillus paracasei demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties in skin models.

Acne - Small studies from Italy, Russia, and Korea have found that probiotics from food or supplements used in conjunction with standard acne treatments may increase the rate of acne clearance, and also helps patients better tolerate acne treatment with antibiotics.

Eczema - Finnish researchers looked at pregnant women who took probiotic supplements (containing Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG) found that probiotics reduced the odds of eczema in babies.

Rosacea - Probiotics may help control rosacea flare-ups and symptoms.

Anti-aging - Probiotics may help to build collagen, the main protein in skin that affects its texture and tone. Increased numbers of good bacteria may also help to hydrate aging skin, reduce sun damage, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Stress Support - As an important type of “spiritual microbes,” probiotics show good prospects in relieving stress and preventing stress-related health problems. Scientists have discovered probiotics can reduce stress and improve mental function and memory, and potentially reduce mild forms of anxiety and stress. Data is also showing both probiotics and prebiotic-rich foods have been effective to help reduce cortisol levels.

Mood - A healthy gut is important for optimal production of serotonin, the happiness hormone, of which about 95% is produced in the gut. Serotonin is found in the genitals and research suggests that when serotonin levels dip, physical response to sexual feelings dips, too.

Energy - Healthy gut bacteria create B vitamins, which are essential for the production of ATP (cellular energy). Bacteria communicate with other cells in charge of blood sugar regulation. If gut bacteria are out of balance, blood sugar levels can crash more easily, contributing to a drop in energy.

Children - While there is solid evidence that probiotics may be helpful in reducing both the severity and frequency of acute respiratory infection in anyone, children (0-15) seem to experience the greatest benefit. 21,22 Whether it is for immune, post-antibiotic protection/recovery, general digestive health or recommendation from the child’s health care provider, probiotics are the 3rd most chosen natural product by American parents for the well-being of their kids.

Probiotics, Helping to promote a normal allergic response.*

By helping to protect the membrane lining of your intestinal wall, they help stop undigested food, bacteria, and metabolic wastes from escaping into your bloodstream.

Here are some major reasons why your gut/microbes are out of sync:

• Antibiotics: Almost all antibiotics destroy healthy gut microflora.
• Stress
• Pollution
• Certain Painkillers
• Sugar / Fructose
• Tap Water - Fluoride / Chlorinated
• Heartburn Prescriptions

Some Symptoms of Lacking Probiotics: When our microflora becomes imbalanced, an incredible variety of symptoms can and often do result. Here is just a small list of issues reported that relate to the lack of probiotics in our bodies.

• Abdominal pain
• Acne
• ADD
• Allergies – ALL
• Autoimmune Diseases – ALL
• Asthma
• Autism
• Bloating – Gas
• CFS – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Cold Sores

The digestive system is an incredibly important, and complex part of the human body. Many Doctors, Internists, and all health care providers believe it is the place where health begins…and ends. Probiotics provide an exciting new aspect to the health of the human gut.
