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

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.
