Background information on gut flora
One of the things we know in medicine now is that the caveat of all healing actually occurs at the gastrointestinal level. Most of us know that the gut is important for digestion, for elimination, and for the absorption of nutrients, but did you know that 80% of your immune system is located in the gut? Did you know that what separates the gut lining from your blood, in other words all that stuff in your gut including the 100 trillion bacteria, is just a single cell? A microscopic entity. That one cell lining has to be strong enough to block these bacteria, toxins, and large macro molecules from getting inside the blood. At the same time, it has to be porous enough to allow nutrients to get inside the blood.Where we're looking in the research now is that increased gut permeability, the breakdown of that lining, really is associated with many of the complex chronic diseases that we all see in our society. Keeping that gut healthy becomes critically important in systemic health.
What type of probiotic should some take?
Most of us know that with all the probiotics available, it's very confusing regarding which ones to take. Human bacteria from a healthy gut and are more powerful than the most powerful antibiotics in the world. This is because the microbiome, the bacteria in the gut, produce bacteria so that they kill and keep in check these bad bacteria.
What does this tell us about probiotics?
It tells us that human strain probiotics are pretty important. Try human strain probiotics that are room temperature stable.
Why is shelf stable important?
Because taking a probiotic out of the fridge causes death to those bacteria. Putting them back in the fridge restores it. Out and in, now we don't have a real control of what we are getting.
What makes Primadophilus so effective?
One, its human strain; two, it has strains that have gone through clinical trials, double blind placebo trials. Thirdly, it’s room temperature stable. That means you don't have to worry about refrigeration and you know that when it says 50 billion, that's what you're getting. Fourth, it is a pretty high CFU, calling in counts. 50 billion CFU really effective.
Who should take it?
Most people will benefit from this formulation. They include those that have immune conditions, or have gastrointestinal issues; most individuals will need some help. People that are on antibiotics, or that have a lot of different chronic diseases can also use it.
Can children take it?
There is a children's product, which has a lower CFU but more in line with children. The reason why you need different bacteria ages is because there's an evolution of the microbiome. When we're born the microbiome is small and it grows from there. This is why it's so important. There's been research done on children born vaginally and children born by c-section. There's a huge differential in those kids as far as conditions are concerned. Children born by c-section have greater risks of
asthma
and eczema. Why? Because when they're not going through the vaginal canal, they're not absorbing or they're not bringing in bacteria that create the microbiome. This is important because since we know that children need certain bacteria, we also know that adults need other bacteria as well. So it's good to have a differential that way.
Who should take PromadophilusReuteri?
PrimadophilusReuteri has been studied on a number of different conditions and much like other Primadophilus line bacteria they are good for immune stimulation. So this is something that people utilize more for those kinds of things.
Why would someone take Primadophilus Optima Max 100 Billion?
100 billion versus 50 billion. The greater the disease, or the more severe the disease, for instance somebody who has
Crohn's disease
or ulcerative
colitis
has a pretty serious gastrointestinal disorder. Also, somebody who's gone through massive amounts of IV antibiotics would be more apt to take a 100 billion count CFU as opposed to those who didn't have. So, depending on the severity of your condition, you're more able to tolerate the higher CFU’s. It's important for the consumer to do research and for the healthcare provider to provide that information to those patients, to those clients, in order for them to get the probiotic that's most suited for them.
Why would someone take PrimadophilusOmtima Max Bifido?
The lactobacilli inhabit the small intestines. The BifidoBactor inhabit the large intestines. So therefore when would we use more of a BifidoBactor and when do we use more of a lactobacillus? Well, the BifidoBactor will be used more in colon based conditions. BifidoBactor eats up these little fibers, creates these things we call short chain fatty acids and the short chain fatty acids produce the osmotic gradient that drives water into the blood. So, it becomes pretty important in the functionality of the colon.
