Probiotics, Flora, what are they? If you go to Webster’s Dictionary, the word Probiotic means “For Life.” Most Americans are unfamiliar with this supplement, however on the other hand almost everyone knows of its opposite, “Anti-Biotic,” Against Life. Did you know that your body was designed to have about three pounds of “friendly bacteria” in your intestines at all times? Probiotics are the good beneficial bacteria that compose and make up your intestinal wall called the mucosa membrane or mucosa lining. We need this protective shield to defend us from the onslaught of bad bacteria, undigested foods and stomach acids. These “friendly bacteria,” known as flora, live to control the over 400 harmful bacteria that bombard your body. It’s commonly referred to as your “second immune system.”
Most people do not have enough probiotics in their digestive system to properly control the harmful bacteria in the body, and this leaves them susceptible to excess gas, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, colitis, diabetes, meningitis, rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, lactose intolerance, serum cholesterol, herpes simplex of the mouth, acne, urinary tract infections, yeast, candida and many other problems. Diets and lifestyles high in fats and sugars, carbonated drinks, alcohol, emotional or physical stress, anti-acids, or “the worst,” ANTI-BIOTICS, will cause significant depletion or even destroy completely your beneficial flora or mucosa lining, leaving you defenseless against all of the harmful bacteria in your body.
Antibiotics do not know the difference between friendly and harmful bacteria, and therefore kill them both. Anyone who uses antibiotics has significantly depleted their flora supply. You may say, “I don’t take antibiotics.” Well, virtually every meat producer in America injects their animals with antibiotics, and those antibiotics are passed on to you! If you eat meat, you take antibiotics.
Make sure that when looking for a probiotic supplement, it is from a stable source. This means that a lot of the probiotics sold today cannot withstand even room temperatures. They need to be refrigerated so that the live cultured bacteria are not destroyed. Keep this in mind.
Divine Nature’s Probiotic formula has several different strains of “Stabilized Probiotics” that cannot only withstand room temperatures, but can also pass in and through the bile salts and acidic conditions of your intestinal and digestive system without being destroyed, arriving on location to quickly replenish the mucosa lining and support your immune system.
Regular use or maintenance of Nature’s Probiotic builds up your body’s flora, giving you the greatest ability to fight off the sickness and disease to which you are constantly exposed.
