Dr. Colbert MD Probiotics Plus PrebioticsContains Patented Probiotic DE111®, which Enhances Overall Probiotic FunctionThe foundation of health is essentially based on a healthy G.I. tract. Dr. Colbert’s Probiotics Plus Prebiotics is a special mixture of beneficial bacteria. Since this product was formulated for room temperature storage, the patient is much more likely to comply with the dosing, and we eliminate the moisture problem inherent with refrigerated products. Saccharomyces boulardii has proven its efficiency in the prevention and treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrheas and in Clostridium difficile-recurrent infections.Do You Need to Take a Probiotic Supplement?A typical person can have as much as 100 trillion bacteria in their gut. This is more than 10x the amount of cells we have in our entire body. Probiotics, such as those in Dr. Colbert’s Probiotics Plus Prebiotics contain those “good” bacteria that help maintain the health of the intestines and aid in the digestion and the absorption of nutrients. Recent studies suggest that certain bacteria in the gut promote the development of certain parts of the immune system. It’s fascinating that over 1/4 of the immune cells in the body come from the gut, and these immune cells are responsible for over 50% of the body’s immune response.Dr. Colbert has developed a comprehensive blend of superbiotics (probiotics with maximum benefit) and prebiotics. These carefully picked superbiotics include:Saccharomyces boulardiiBacillus subtilis DE111®Bifidobacterium bifidumLactobacillus acidophilusLactobacillus plantarumOf these probiotic strains, the most unique is the DE111®. The DE111® has the ability to form endospores to protect itself in harsh conditions such as high temperatures and the acidic environment in the gut. This unique ability to survive in harsh conditions increases the likelihood that the probiotic strain will plant good bacteria in the gut.The Science Behind DE111®Supports Digestion: A clinical study evaluating the effect of DE111 on digestive health resulted in a significant influence on gut microflora measured prior to and after capsule consumption (5 billion CFU). Fecal samples showed an increase in the levels of B. subtilis and Bifidobacterium (good bacteria), and a slight decrease in levels of E. coli (bad bacteria). DE111 was also able to maintain healthy levels of cholesterol, glucose and triglycerides, indicating that DE111 supports the normal breakdown of complex carbohydrates, sugars and fats. Supports Regularity: A clinical study showed a reduction of alternating constipation and diarrhea for the participants taking DE111 (1 billion CFU) when compared to participants taking the placebo. The proportion of normal stools (types 3 and 4) increased from 54% to 64% in the DE111 group, while the proportion of normal stools decreased from 56% to 48% in the placebo group. In male participants specifically, the proportion of normal stools increased from 56% to 80%. In addition, a significant difference between the DE111 and placebo groups was observed in regards to normal and non-normal stool proportions in the 30+ age group.Includes a Fast-acting Prebiotic called PreforProPreforPro is unlike other prebiotics that require large doses and several days to begin working. What are Prebiotics?Prebiotics are indigestible sources of food for the probiotics. This food actually fuels the probiotics productivity while operating in the gut. The main function of the prebiotic is to just maintain the gut flora’s (probiotic) health. Without this source of fuel the probiotic can cease to function. Studies Show PreforPro Promotes Probiotic GrowthIn in vitro tests under physiological conditions, PreforPro has been shown to accelerate the growth of a broad spectrum of probiotic species, including:B. bifidumB. breveL. acidophilus Human Clinical StudyIn a human clinical study, PreforPro was shown to influence the microbial population of the gut, while also producing positive effects on cholesterol and immune response. Participants were administered one 15mg PreforPro capsule daily. When compared to the placebo group, results of the study indicated:Convenience: No Refrigeration Needed!Take it with you throughout the day! The main component of this formula, DE111 has been scientifically formulated for room temperature storage, ensuring the bioactivity of the flora at even the most extreme conditions. The foundation of health is essentially based on a healthy G.I. tract.
