Probiotics And Chronic Disease

• Evidence shows that prolonged imbalance in intestinal bacteria can do more than induce intestinal diseases—it can trigger lethal diseases throughout the body!
• Properly balanced gut bacteria produce biologically active proteins that cross into the blood. In this way, “good bacteria” inhibit pathways of numerous chronic diseases—including obesity, diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory infections.
• Today’s diet, lifestyle, medical practices, and other factors tend to disrupt gut bacterial balance.
• Evidence shows that supplementing with key species restores the proper balance of beneficial bacteria—in turn restoring your body’s natural, intestine-based protection against a host of non-intestinal diseases!
