ABOUT US
The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and their power . . . depend.
- Benjamin Disraell
Hippocrates once quoted "All disease begins in the gut".
​
If all disease begins in the gut, it is logical to realize that perhaps optimal health begins there as well.
According to several research studies, the use of probiotics helps lower cholesterol, reduce bacteria vaginosis and diarrhea, and promotes healthy growth.

Why Most Probiotics Fail...
Most probiotics fail because, as people are exposed to stressful environments, toxins, antibiotics, immunosuppressive drugs and poor diets, the pH in the gut changes and becomes too alkaline. Traditional probiotics (lactobacillus sp, acidophilus, bifidobacteria, S. thermophilus, yogurt, kefir, etc) cannot grow in this alkaline pH. In addition, most probiotics deteriorate rapidly on the store shelf, even while refrigerated, and often do not survive exposure to stomach acid. If they are alive once they pass the stomach, they usually cannot grow in the intestines due to the pH inbalance.
Why Ours Succeeds...
The Power of Spores
Bacillus coagulans, the main ingredient in MicroFlora Advantage, is a revolutionary new type of beneficial bacteria that is far stronger due to its spore form. Unlike other GI bacteria, (acidophilus, bifidobacteria, etc.), Bacillus Coagulans is surrounded by a protective "shell" in the form of a spore. Spores can grow in a very wide range of pH (4.4 – 10.0) and survive exposure to light, heat, oxygen and hydrochloric acid. Because of this, Bacillus Coagulans does not require refrigeration, can survive on store shelves, and easily survives stomach acid.
The Importance of L(+) Lactic Acid
Only Bacillus Coagulans can produce L(+) lactic acid in sufficient amounts to shift the alkaline pH in the gut back to its normal pH. A healthy gut pH will result in the death of harmful organisms, resulting in a cleaner, healthier digestive tract.
No Refrigeration Required
Bacillus Coagulans does not need to be refrigerated. It survives in temperatures up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
Aloe Barbadensis Miller Soothes And Repairs
The aloe in the Pro-Aloe Repair formula is not a common Aloe Vera. It is a special, stronger variety of aloe called Aloe Barbadensis Miller. Aloe has an incredible soothing effect on an irritated GI tract, often a problem with Candida that can dig in its "roots" and damage the intestinal lining. Studies have shown that this variety of aloe can help support the immune system, and works synergistically with Bacillus Coagulans.
