Double Strength Probiotic Complex with Acidophilus contains a unique combination of several key microorganisms designed to support and maintain the gastrointestinal tract’s microflora. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that may beneficially affect the host upon ingestion by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. The dietary use of live microorganisms has a long history dating back thousands of years. The father of modern immunology,Élie Metchnikoff,spoke highly about the possible health benefits of the lactic acid-bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in his writings at the turn of the 20th century,stating that consumption of live bacteria,such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus,was beneficial for gastrointestinal health,as well as for health in general,and for longevity. Recent research suggests that certain live microorganisms may promote healthy immune function and have anticarcinogenic effects,as well as other health benefits.

The gastrointestinal tract represents a complex ecosystem in which a delicate balance exists between the intestinal microflora and the host. The intestinal microflora are important for maturation of the immune system,the development of healthy intestinal function and in order to maintain a balanced inflammatory response. The microflora reinforce the barrier function of the intestines,helping in the prevention of the attachment of microorganisms capable of causing disease and the entry of allergens. Some members of the microflora may contribute to the body’s requirements for certain vitamins,including Biotin,pantothenic acid and Vitamin B12.

Our Double Strength Probiotic Complex with Acidophilus utilizes freeze dried cultures and is shelf stable;refrigeration is recommended after opening.

Overview

Lutein Plus Eye Complex is a comprehensive formula designed to promote optimal eye health. Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid found primarily in fruits and vegetables. When ingested by humans,it concentrates in a section of the eye called the macula which is the small area at the center of the retina. Researchers have discovered that lutein protects the macula by filtering out potentially damaging forms of light. Lutein has been called our “natural sun glasses” due to its ability to protect the eyes against radiation damage by acting as an optic filter and an antioxidant. Moreover,various studies have shown that a direct relationship exists between lutein intake and pigmentation in the eye;research indicates an increase in macula pigmentation decreases the risk for eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.

• Primary carotenoid found in the eye
• Several studies have demonstrated substantial protection against the type of damage that leads to macular degeneration
• Individuals in the top 20% for dietary lutein intakewere only half as likely to develop cataracts as those in the lowest 20% of lutein intake

Recommended Dosage
