GreenLife Essential Pre & Probiotics Formula
GreenLife Essential Pre & Probiotics Formula is a unique proprietary powder blend of 6 strains of probiotics and 2 types of prebiotics. It combines among others Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium lactis Bi07® and the best prebiotics synergetic effect of FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and ISO (isomaltooligosaccharides). When probiotics and prebiotics are mixed together, they form a synbiotic. Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that stimulate the growth or activity of bacteria in the digestive system which are beneficial to our health.
A synbiotic is a supplement that contains both prebiotics and probiotics that work together to improve the friendly flora of the human intestine. A synbiotic formula is considered a functional food. The best synbiotic combinations should include Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus with FOS and ISO.
More specifically, probiotics are recommended for the treatment of certain intestinal problems, such as:
*Constipation.
Ingesting even small amounts of probiotics improves intestinal transit and can help reduce the need to use laxatives. Laxatives have the major disadvantage of eliminating, along with the faecal bolus, various substances that are vital for the organism, such as amino acids and minerals.
*Intestinal problems linked to taking antibiotics.
Taking lactic bacteria can help to reduce the intestinal problems that are often experienced when taking antibiotics.
*Diarrhoea in children: numerous studies have highlighted the fact that taking lactic ferments can be beneficial for children who are suffering from diarrhoea, as they can help reduce the intensity and duration of symptoms.
*The prevention of intestinal problems following dietary changes or when travelling
Taking Lactobacillus as a preventive measure can reduce the risk of developing diarrhoea when travelling abroad by over 30%.
- Macronutrient digestion and micronutrient bioavailability
Probiotics stimulate the digestive enzymes and thus foster the improved assimilation of foodstuffs.
Essential amino acids, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, copper and phosphorus are better absorbed and better used.
Certain bacteria are also capable of synthesising group B vitamins such as thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9) and cyanocobalamin (B12). These vitamins play a vital part in ensuring the body uses carbohydrates, lipids and proteins to their full potential, and in keeping the nervous system and the muscles in good working order. In other words, they are what keeps you feeling fighting fit.
-The neutralisation of toxic products
Probiotics help prevent certain substances such as ammonia, amines and indols from being absorbed by the intestine and can neutralize their toxic effects.
