Flexible Probiotics, Customized To Meet Your Individual Needs
February 16, 2015
Many people consider probiotics to be a one-size-fits-all supplement, without really considering the details of what is inside the product. It can be difficult to separate the marketing hype from the real health benefits– with so many products filling the shelves, advertising that they contain the “largest number of strains”, or the “highest number of bacteria units”, and other claims that are made more for shock-and-awe marketing value rather than any meaningful scientific merit.
The reality is that we are not all created equal, and therefore our dietary supplements should be chosen to match the needs of the individual. It is true that for many people, a comprehensive probiotic will meet their needs perfectly well. In the case of Natren’s probiotic lineup, Healthy Trinity is our most popular and convenient probiotic. It is highly potent, containing over 30 billion colony forming units (CFUs) of three different targeted strains of probiotic bacteria. For many of our customers, the convenience of a single-capsule probiotic, combined with this quantity of bacteria is an excellent solution for keeping their digestive system in great shape.
Too Much Of A Good Thing
There are cases where too much of a good thing can be troublesome. For some people, especially for those with digestive sensitivities, a powerful probiotic with too much potency can be like a fire-hose to the digestive system.
That is why Natren developed the Healthy Start System – a set of 3 different probiotics consisting of each of the proven bacterial strains found in our flagship Healthy Trinity capsules, but available in a more customizable form that can be combined to suit your needs. Our customers find that flexible layering of each probiotic type gives them the ability to tailor their intake to give them just the right amount of potency CFUs, and the right mixture of probiotic strains.
Targeted Probiotics For Different Needs
The different probiotic strains in the Healthy Start System are specially selected to serve different purposes:
- DIGESTA-LAC contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus, LB-51 super strain, or the “crowd control” probiotic. This strain specializes in “sweeping” the food through the digestive tract, promoting digestive motility and regularity.
- MEGADOPHILUS is designed to provide support and assistance for the small intestine. Lactobacillus acidophilus, NAS super strain is a well-known probiotic strain for optimizing digestion in the early stages of the digestive process.
- BIFIDO FACTOR is formulated specifically for the large intestine for colon support. Bifidobacterium bifidum Malyoth super strain is essential to the “waste and sanitation station”. Assistance with absorption, production of B vitamins, and promotion of regularity.
The Healthy Start System is available in both dairy-based, and vegan kits, to allow you to choose which system is right for you. The system is available in both capsules and powders, allowing you to have complete control over the amount of the bacteria you use, so you can begin and maintain your plan as your body responds. People with more severe sensitivities enjoy the powdered form which allows them to start with the smallest dose possible and work their way up to a larger dose as they are individually able to do so.
By kicking off your plan with smaller amounts of the bacteria, even those with the most sensitive digestive systems can get started with probiotics without worrying about any unpleasant effects that can accompany a sudden change in your diet.
