Life Extension FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable (Strawberry) (60 Chewable Tablets)

What Are Florassist Prebiotic Chewables? The billions of microorganisms in your digestive tract, known as your intestinal microbiota, are essential for optimal health. And taking probiotics helps maintain the balance of these microorganisms. But because they are living things, they need nutrients (as well as a favorable environment). That’s where FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable comes in. If you’re taking a probiotic, a PR Ebiotic is a good idea. Prebiotic food sources fuel the healthy flora in your intestines. FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable Benefits Supports intestinal, colon digestive health Supports bifidobacteria, a probiotic that breaks down carbs Promotes immune system health function The Benefits of Bifidobacteria As children, our bodies have an abundance of bifidobacteria, but levels of bifidobacteria decline over time. Diet can affect bifidobacteria levels as well. But these tiny organisms pack a powerful punch: they especially help promote digestive as well as whole body health. In addition, they help our immune systems, encouraging healthy function and response. Product Details Each strawberry-flavored tablet of FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable contains a scientifically validated dose of Pretic X™ prebiotic, which contains 70% xylooligosaccharides to optimize growth potential of beneficial bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract. The benefits of Bifidobacteria These tiny organisms pack a powerful punch for better health. They benefit not only our digestive tracts but our whole body. And they produce specialized compounds associated with healthy metabolism and even longevity. Bifidobacteria metabolize important types of dietary carbohydrates. They also provide essential fuel to cells of the digestive tract and more. But bifidobacteria decrease in number as we age. One popular way to support bifidobacteria is to supplement with probiotics. But it is also important to make sure that these probiotics have an adequate prebiotic food source. Not all prebiotics are the same “Overdoing” prebiotics can be too much of a good thing. Most commercial prebiotics require large doses to provide the optimal conditions for GI colonization. Unfortunately, this can lead to unpleasant bloating, flatulence and general GI discomfort. FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable is formulated with a scientifically validated, smaller dose of Pretic X™ prebiotic, which contains 70% xylooligosaccharides. These xylooligosaccharides are ideal prebiotics because they are capable of optimizing the growth potential of gut bifidobacteria, and can do so in relatively low doses. The less actual prebiotic material you have to take, the less chance of gastrointestinal upset. This highly purified prebiotic is derived from non-GMO corn cob. STORAGE
