			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">When the temperatures drop and the leaves start to
change, it’s time for the kids to head back to school—which means a return of
runny noses, coughs, and viruses in your home.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">Every parent wants their kid to stay healthy, not just
in the school year, but year-round. The key to a healthy body is a strong, functional
immune system, and that all starts with the health of your gut.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></p><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/adobestock-176691784-medium-.jpeg"></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">In today’s world, children are exposed to more sugar, processed foods,
and environmental stresses than ever before, and that can lead to an imbalance
of good and bad bacteria—ultimately leaving your child vulnerable to the next
bug that goes around the school.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">With more than 70% of the immune system located in the gut, maintaining
a proper balance of bacteria is the starting point for building up the immune
system of anyone, including your child!
	</span></p><p>
	<span style=""><span style="font-size: 16px;">That’s where&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lifefoodpro.com/ultra-probiotic-6b-kids-digestive-health-formula-wildberry-flavored-chews-6b-cfu-2-strains/">probiotics&nbsp;</a>can make all the big difference.</span></span></p><p>
	<span style=""><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></span>What Are
Probiotics?</p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">Probiotics aren’t your typical vitamin supplement. They contain
living microorganisms—specifically, “good bacteria” that play a role in
supporting a healthy gut.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">There are many types of probiotics on the market, with a variety of
strains and strengths, but research is beginning to shine a light on the benefits
that probiotics offer—particularly in children—and the role that they play in
overall health.
	</span></p><p>
	<strong><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br>
	</span></strong></p><p>
	<strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Probiotics
and the Immune System&nbsp;
	</span></strong></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">It’s no secret that a weak immune system equals
more susceptibility to illness, and that goes for your child’s immune system as
well.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">So, how exactly can probiotics help build the immune system of your
kid—and save you from dealing with sleepless nights, fevers, and doctor
appointments?
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">There are more than 500 species of bacteria living in the gut, with
a delicate balance of good and bad bacteria. When the bacteria are
well-balanced, you enjoy better health—when they’re not, your immune system
takes a dive as the overgrowth of bad bacteria affects the immune function of
the gut.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">From antibiotic use to a poor diet, there are many reasons why the
gut of your child might be out-of-balance, but probiotics can start repairing
the damage. A high-quality supplement of the right bacteria strain can begin to
restore the equilibrium of the bacteria in the gut.
	</span></p><p>
	<span style="font-size: 16px;">That means a healthier child, and less worry for you.</span></p><p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the years, probiotics have been widely researched for their potential to improve the overall health of many different systems within the body. Recent research has focused on the potential benefits for women in particular. More than ever, people are searching for more natural ways to boost their immune system and support good health without the use of medications, and probiotics are a simple way to supplement the body’s natural defenses.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">What are Probiotics?</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Understanding the basics of what probiotics are and how they can benefit the body is essential in choosing the supplement that is best for each woman’s individual needs. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The female body is host to over 750 trillion different microorganisms that live within the digestive tract and urogenital system. These bacteria play a vital role in maintaining the innate balance and health of the body and can help to fight off harmful pathogens before they are able to create an infection.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Several factors can alter the natural balance of these beneficial microbes within women, and an unbalance of probiotics can contribute to many unpleasant symptoms. Research has shown that lack of good bacteria within women can lead to issues with immune function, vaginal health, bladder infections, and exacerbation of IBS symptoms.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">Benefits of Probiotic Supplementation in Women</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Millions of women across the country struggle with digestive issues and symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These symptoms can range in severity, and they often include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. In a recent research study related to probiotic supplementation for women with IBS, all participants experienced relief from IBS abdominal pain when taking L. plantarum. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common urogenital conditions that women seek treatment for, and research has supported the benefits of probiotic supplementation to increase vaginal health. Probiotics play a role in keeping the vaginal environment acidic in order to reduce the prevalence of harmful bacteria. By restoring the balance of bacteria in the vagina with supplementation of probiotics, yeast and pathogens are unable to adhere to cells and cause vaginosis and other unpleasant conditions. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, there has been positive correlations between the use of probiotics and a reduction of bladder infections within women. This is particularly good news, as many of the common antibiotics used to traditionally treat UTI’s are not as effective as they once were due to antibiotic resistance. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">Choosing a Probiotic Supplement</span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the support of extensive scientific research, the use of probiotics in women is a promising way to support good health and quality of life. However, not all probiotic supplements are created equally! When choosing a supplement that is right for your specific needs, it is important to research the various strains of bacteria in the supplement, as well as the concentration of these strains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Common probiotic strains that are associated with being beneficial for women’s health include:</p><ul>
<li>L. rhamnosus</li><li>L. acidophilus</li><li>S. thermophilus</li><li>L. plantarum</li><li>B. infantis</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">When choosing a probiotic supplement, look for one that has a concentration in the billions to ensure that an adequate number of microbes make it through the digestive tract. The minimum effective dosage can vary by strain of bacteria, so research is essential in choosing the product right for you. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">References:</p><ol>

	Every year, millions of people look forward to going on vacation. Whether you are traveling abroad or simply taking your family to the beach for a long weekend, there’s nothing better than escaping the busy schedule of everyday life!</p><p>
	Unfortunately, traveling any distance can do a number on the health of your gut.</p><p>
	Most people are familiar with the term <em>“traveler’s diarrhea”</em>, which is a common occurrence among those who have decided to take a vacation. In fact, the&nbsp;<a href="http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2016/the-pre-travel-consultation/travelers-diarrhea" target="_blank"><strong>CDC estimates</strong></a> that between 30-70% of international travelers will experience traveler’s diarrhea - and nothing puts a damper on your plans like an upset stomach!</p><p>
	To help you avoid being stuck in a hotel room with belly troubles, we have put together a few simple suggestions of ways to protect your gut and enjoy every minute of your relaxing vacation!</p><h2><strong>Do your research before hand</strong></h2><p>
	The first step for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/Probiotics_Powerful_Health_Benefits_Go_Beyond_Digestion" target="_blank"><strong>protecting your gut</strong></a> while on vacation is knowing the potential triggers that you may encounter. Different places have different effects on your gut, and traveling to a foreign area can be one of the biggest triggers to an upset stomach.</p><p>
	The bacteria and parasites that are found in an unfamiliar vacation destination have a greater potential to affect you when you are already stressed due to <strong>lack of sleep</strong> and <strong>changing time zones</strong>. Before your trip, take the time to research any common health concerns, alerts, and water restrictions for your getaway location to avoid being caught unaware!</p><h2><strong>Choose your food carefully</strong></h2><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/travel-food-gut-bacteria.jpg"></p><p>
	There’s no doubt that one of the highlights of any trip is sampling the cuisine native to the area. From fine dining to local markets and food vendors, there is typically a large variety of exciting food to try while away on vacation!</p><p>
	While the food may be something you are looking forward to, your stomach may disagree! Dining on food that you are unaccustomed to can have unwanted side effects on the body ranging from constipation to diarrhea. To ensure your gut is protected, it is always wise to <a href="http://www.ecologyhealthcenter.net/node/94" rel="nofollow"><strong>avoid</strong> </a>salad bars and street vendors while on vacation! To fight off the hunger, pack some familiar, healthy snacks to combat a mid-day hunger craving.</p><h2><strong>Be aware of water</strong></h2><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/drinking-water.jpg"></p><p>
	Water is one of the leading causes of <strong>digestive</strong> <strong>trouble</strong> while traveling on vacation. This is particularly a concern if you are traveling to an area with a rudimentary water system due to inadequacies of treating waste water.</p><p>
	If you are planning to travel to an area that is known for poor water conditions - protect yourself! Pack bottled water or boil water for at least one minute before use - and remember to use it for everything from drinking and cooking to brushing your teeth! <em><strong>Triclosan-free</strong></em> hand sanitizer is also a vital necessity for keeping unwanted bacteria away from your body while on vacation.</p><h2><strong>Choose a high-quality probiotic</strong></h2><p>
	<img src="http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/n-biq04i/8tm3ev0v/product_images/uploaded_images/probiotic-ranked-labdoor.jpg?t=1464898864"></p><p>
	A high-quality&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/ultra-probiotic-50-advanced-strength-digestive-care-formula-50b-cfu-10-strains-30-time-release-caps/" target="_blank"><strong>probiotic supplement</strong></a> is one of your best defenses against unwanted stomach bacteria - both before and after you travel! At least a month before your anticipated vacation, start supplementing with a probiotic formula that contains a minimum of 10 billion colony forming units. By increasing the “good bacteria” within your intestinal tract, your body will be prepared to fight off foreign gut invaders that you may encounter on your travels.</p><p>
	While on vacation, be sure to bring your probiotics with you. This will come in handy if you end up with a mild upset stomach from traveling and to keep your defenses high throughout the duration of your vacation.</p><p>
	Vacations are the highlight of many people’s year, and nobody wants to be sidelined with stomach trouble along the way! Protect your gut through smart sanitary practices and keep your probiotics on hand to have the best chance at enjoying your vacation - without the upset stomach!&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

Below we discuss a few of the most common reactions from those taking this weight loss supplement.</p><h2><strong>Allergic Reactions</strong></h2><p>
	The Garcinia Cambogia supplement is derived from a citrus-like, tropical fruit - which has caused unwanted allergic reactions in some sensitive people who have taken it. It is also known to interact with a number of different medications, which can lead to accidental reactions for those who are unaware of the side effects.</p><p>

In fact, it is even listed as a common potential side effect on many websites that are trying to sell you this product!</p><p>
	Another frequent complaint about Garcinia Cambogia is the digestive trouble it causes for those who are taking it. Complaints range from extreme constipation to gas and diarrhea. A

	When choosing any supplement for weight loss, it is essential to check with your healthcare provider and discuss the possible consequences that these unregulated supplements can have on your prescription medication.</p><h2><strong>Making Wise Decisions for a Healthy Life</strong></h2><p>

			<title><![CDATA[Omega 3 Supplementation May Improve The Aging Process]]></title>
			<link>https://www.lifefoodpro.com/omega-3-supplementation-may-improve-the-aging-process</link>
			<pubDate>Mon, 30 May 2016 12:09:01 +0000</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.lifefoodpro.com/omega-3-supplementation-may-improve-the-aging-process</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/omega-3-aging-image-1.jpg"></p><p>
	It is a fact of life that nobody is immune to the effects that aging has on the body. As people get older they are at a higher risk of a number of potentially devastating conditions, including heart disease and osteoporosis, which can severely impact quality of life.</p><p>
	Since the beginning of time, humans have been searching for the proverbial fountain of youth and natural or medicinal ways to slow down the aging process. Fortunately, new research is showing a direct correlation between the omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/fish-oil/" target="_blank"><strong>fish oil</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and a reduction in the signs and symptoms of aging!</p><p>
	In addition to the numerous ways a quality omega-3 can enhance your health and well-being, here we will discuss some of the scientifically researched benefits that they have to support your body as you get older.</p><h2>The Science Behind the Research</h2><p>
	The aging process results in a number of biological effects on the body, including:</p><ul>
	
<li>Decreased muscle mass</li>	
<li>Higher body fat</li>	
<li>Less effective cardiovascular system</li>	
<li>Slower metabolism</li>	
<li>Decreased bone density</li></ul><p>
	In 2015, a 
	<a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0144828"><strong>scientific research study</strong></a> from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada was published that examined the results of an omega-3 supplement on aging women. It is thought that the EPA and DHA of fish oil could contribute to lessening of undesirable biological effects of aging and help ward off the common diseases of old age.</p><p>
	During the study, 24 women over 66 years of age were followed for 12 weeks as they received either a placebo or 3 grams daily of an&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/little-known-facts-about-omega-3s-that-can-help-you-today/" target="_blank">EPA/DHA supplement</a> - and the results were remarkable!</p><h2>Burning Fat and Building Muscle with Omega-3</h2><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/omega-3-aging-image-2.jpg"></p><p>
	Through the course of the 12 week study, it was found that women who received the 
	<strong>fish oil supplement</strong> burned nearly 19% more fat and 14% more <strong>calories </strong>when at rest than women who were given a placebo! This number jumped to 27% during <strong>exercise</strong>, suggesting that regular use of an omega-3 supplement can be a powerful aid in boosting the slowing metabolism that inevitably comes with age.</p><p>
	It’s no surprise that as humans get older, their percentage of lean muscle mass decreases, making the body weak and more susceptible to obesity. It is also worth noting that having a higher lean muscle mass helps to control the pain and mobility issues of common diseases found in advanced age, including osteoporosis and arthritis. While taking the omega-3 provided during this study, the women participating were able to increase their lean muscle mass by 4% in comparison to those who only received the placebo!</p><h2>The Effect of Omega-3 on Heart Health</h2><p>
	Your heart is the most important organ in your body, and the effects of aging can have a negative impact on the functionality and performance of your entire 
	<a href="http://easyhealthoptions.com/how-omega-3-fatty-acids-help-fight-signs-of-aging/" rel="”nofollow”"><strong>cardiovascular system</strong></a>. A common health condition found in the aging population is increased levels of triglycerides, which puts the body at a much higher risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack. In this promising new research, women who took the omega-3 supplement were able to lower their triglyceride levels by 29%! By taking an omega-3 regularly to keep the fat level in your bloodstream under control, you can help prevent diseases such as obesity, hypothyroidism, and liver or kidney disease.</p><p>

	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/omega-3-aging-image-1.jpg"></p><p>
	It is a fact of life that nobody is immune to the effects that aging has on the body. As people get older they are at a higher risk of a number of potentially devastating conditions, including heart disease and osteoporosis, which can severely impact quality of life.</p><p>
	Since the beginning of time, humans have been searching for the proverbial fountain of youth and natural or medicinal ways to slow down the aging process. Fortunately, new research is showing a direct correlation between the omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/fish-oil/" target="_blank"><strong>fish oil</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and a reduction in the signs and symptoms of aging!</p><p>
	In addition to the numerous ways a quality omega-3 can enhance your health and well-being, here we will discuss some of the scientifically researched benefits that they have to support your body as you get older.</p><h2>The Science Behind the Research</h2><p>
	The aging process results in a number of biological effects on the body, including:</p><ul>
	
<li>Decreased muscle mass</li>	
<li>Higher body fat</li>	
<li>Less effective cardiovascular system</li>	
<li>Slower metabolism</li>	
<li>Decreased bone density</li></ul><p>
	In 2015, a 
	<a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0144828"><strong>scientific research study</strong></a> from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada was published that examined the results of an omega-3 supplement on aging women. It is thought that the EPA and DHA of fish oil could contribute to lessening of undesirable biological effects of aging and help ward off the common diseases of old age.</p><p>
	During the study, 24 women over 66 years of age were followed for 12 weeks as they received either a placebo or 3 grams daily of an&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/little-known-facts-about-omega-3s-that-can-help-you-today/" target="_blank">EPA/DHA supplement</a> - and the results were remarkable!</p><h2>Burning Fat and Building Muscle with Omega-3</h2><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/omega-3-aging-image-2.jpg"></p><p>
	Through the course of the 12 week study, it was found that women who received the 
	<strong>fish oil supplement</strong> burned nearly 19% more fat and 14% more <strong>calories </strong>when at rest than women who were given a placebo! This number jumped to 27% during <strong>exercise</strong>, suggesting that regular use of an omega-3 supplement can be a powerful aid in boosting the slowing metabolism that inevitably comes with age.</p><p>
	It’s no surprise that as humans get older, their percentage of lean muscle mass decreases, making the body weak and more susceptible to obesity. It is also worth noting that having a higher lean muscle mass helps to control the pain and mobility issues of common diseases found in advanced age, including osteoporosis and arthritis. While taking the omega-3 provided during this study, the women participating were able to increase their lean muscle mass by 4% in comparison to those who only received the placebo!</p><h2>The Effect of Omega-3 on Heart Health</h2><p>
	Your heart is the most important organ in your body, and the effects of aging can have a negative impact on the functionality and performance of your entire 
	<a href="http://easyhealthoptions.com/how-omega-3-fatty-acids-help-fight-signs-of-aging/" rel="”nofollow”"><strong>cardiovascular system</strong></a>. A common health condition found in the aging population is increased levels of triglycerides, which puts the body at a much higher risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack. In this promising new research, women who took the omega-3 supplement were able to lower their triglyceride levels by 29%! By taking an omega-3 regularly to keep the fat level in your bloodstream under control, you can help prevent diseases such as obesity, hypothyroidism, and liver or kidney disease.</p><p>
	In the past, the medical profession has advised that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute, although new evidence has shown that heart rates above 
	<strong><em>70 bpm</em></strong> carry a higher risk of death by heart disease. With the new heart rate recommendations modified to a target of <strong><em>50-70 bpm</em></strong>, even small changes in your resting heart rate can have a positive effect on your lifespan. In the omega-3 research study, women who took the supplement experienced an average lower heart rate of two to three beats per minute, making it a promising tool in the fight against age-related heart conditions.</p><h2>Quality Omega-3 Supplements for a Longer Life</h2><p>
	The results of the Canadian research study in question combined with the years of scientific research on the positive benefits of fish oil show a lot of promise for the future of our health. By regularly taking a high quality omega-3 supplement, such as the

	<em>Fad diets</em> and new&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/diet/" target="_blank"><strong>weight loss supplements</strong></a> are continually entering the
market, and it can be difficult to sort fact from fiction. If you’ve been

have come across information pointing to&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/digestive-care/" target="_blank"><strong>probiotics</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and weight loss.</p><p>
	There is scientific evidence to back up the&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/Probiotics_Powerful_Health_Benefits_Go_Beyond_Digestion" target="_blank"><strong>health benefits of probiotics</strong></a> for the body, but new studies are taking the claims of this dietary

between specific&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/probiotic-strains-species-and-definitions/" target="_blank"><strong>strains of “good” bacteria</strong></a> and greater success of weight loss,
especially in women.</p><p>
	To understand the relationship between probiotics and weight loss, you
first have to understand how the bacteria in our digestive tract affects our
health.</p><h2><strong>Weight Gain and a Bad Gut</strong></h2><p>
	<img src="https://www.lifefoodpro.com/product_images/uploaded_images/probiotics-image-750x300.jpg" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"></p><p>
	<strong></strong></p><p>
	The human intestinal tract is filled with 
	<strong>bacteria</strong>, both <em>good </em>and <em>bad</em>.
The good bacteria is essential to the proper functioning of our digestive
system and plays a large role in the strength of our body’s immune response. In
fact, several studies have proven the correlation between healthy gut bacteria
and the effectiveness of the 
	<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3337124/" rel="”nofollow”"><strong>immune system</strong></a>.</p><p>
	These studies found that those who struggle with obesity tend to have an
unbalanced and less diverse population of intestinal flora. There are several
factors that contribute to this, including genetics, the overuse of
antibiotics, and a less than ideal diet. 
	<br>
	<br>
How does this lack of 
	<strong>beneficial bacteria</strong> in the gut affect your weight? <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-gut-bacteria-help-make-us-fat-and-thin/" rel="”nofollow”"><strong>New research</strong></a> shows that specific good bacteria in the
gut plays a significant role in appetite control and the functioning of the digestive
system. Without a healthy digestive tract, the body cannot effectively absorb
nutrients, leading to the creation of fat and weight gain.</p><p>
	Studies focused on the relationship between&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/ultra-probiotic-50-advanced-strength-digestive-care-formula-50b-cfu-10-strains-30-time-release-caps/" target="_blank"><strong>probiotics</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and <strong>weight loss</strong>
	are based on this difference in people’s intestinal flora. Through their
research, scientists attempted to determine whether balancing the microbacteria
in the gut could assist with losing weight.</p><h2><strong>The Science of Probiotics</strong></h2><p style="text-align: center;">

compelling evidence to support the theory of <strong><em>probiotics and weight loss</em></strong>. The
study focused on 125 overweight men and women, who were given either a
probiotic supplement or placebo twice a day for 24 weeks.</p><p>
	The results of the research were intriguing. Over the course of this
study, women who were taking the probiotic averaged twice as much weight loss
as those who were taking the placebo. Interestingly enough, the probiotic did
not have any measurable effect on the male study participants. Not only did
these women lose weight, they also experienced a reduction in obesity-linked
gut bacteria and

	A second recent 
	<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/probiotics-lose-weight/story?id=19607875" rel="”nofollow”"><strong>study </strong></a>conducted in Japan showed similar effects of
probiotics on weight loss. In this study, 210 participants were given food
supplements with high concentrations of the good bacteria strain, 
	<strong>Lactobacillus
gasseri 
	</strong>SBT2055, and they were then followed for 12 weeks. At the end of the
study, participants experienced a significant decrease in visceral and belly
fat.</p><h2><strong>The Benefits of Probiotics</strong></h2><p>

	So what does this mean for the average person looking to lose a few
extra pounds? The answer depends on several factors. While research is
beginning to paint a picture of a clear link between probiotics and weight
loss, there have also been contradictory or inconclusive studies conducted by
independent researchers. Additionally, the specific strain of bacteria used in
the Japanese study is not readily available in the American market.</p><p>
	What we do know is that the balance of your digestive system’s
microorganisms is essential to supporting the health of your entire body. In
addition to the weight loss claims, probiotics have been shown to have many 
	<a href="http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/features/what-are-probiotics"><strong>additional benefits</strong>,</a> including:</p><p>
	●Digestive balance
after antibiotics

	●Treatment of
intestinal disorders, such as IBS

	●Reducing

	●Improvement in skin
conditions, such as eczema

	●More effective
immune response

	●Urinary and vaginal
health
	<strong><br>
	</strong></p><p>
	While the jury is still out on the conclusive nature of probiotics and
weight loss, there are clear benefits to supplementing your body’s digestive
flora. With regular use, quality probiotic supplements are known to improve
several key areas of your overall health, and as a result, may even help you
shed those unwanted pounds.</p><p>

over the last decade, and rightfully so! Numerous studies have proven that the
best probiotic supplements have powerful health benefits that support your entire
body. After all, approximately 90 percent of your body’s genetic material is
owned by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that compose your
microflora. And, probiotics are most beneficial for fighting off those
pathogens that cause illness.</p><p>
	However, the growing popularity of probiotics can put a
person into a tailspin. You may have wondered what you should be looking for. Several
basic criteria will be covered in this article:</p><ul>
	
<li>the most effective species of probiotics</li>	
<li>the most efficient dosage of probiotics</li>	
<li>why prebiotics are important when taking
probiotics
	</li>	
<li>looking for a probiotic delivery system that
protects
	</li>	
<li>electing heat resistant packaging for a
probiotic supplement
	</li>	
<li>choosing a probiotic brand with good
manufacturing practices
	</li>	
<li>expecting a range in probiotic supplement
pricing 
	</li></ul><h2>The Most Effective Species of Probiotics</h2><p>
	There are two important probiotic strains that are essential
for health. They include the 
	<strong>Lactobacillus </strong>species and the <strong>Bifidobacterium
	</strong>species. When selecting a probiotic supplement, be sure to choose one with both.
Additionally, each species of contains several beneficial strains. The best
probiotic supplements will carry at least 10 strains. In this section, you’ll
find descriptions for the two major species as well as several strains within
those species. Each are beneficial for your gut and overall health.</p><p>
	The lactobacillus species consists of several strains. Anti-inflammatory
and anti-cancer activities are some of the potential therapeutic properties.
Following are some of the most important strains with their benefits.</p><p>
	Like the Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacterium boosts your
immune system. It consists of several beneficial strains.</p><p>
	<a href="http://www.lifefoodpro.com/probiotic-strains-species-and-definitions/" target="_blank"><strong>Click here for a full list of strains and it's definitions.</strong></a></p><h2>The Most Efficient Dosage of Probiotics</h2><p>
	Microbiologists use 
	<em>colony forming units</em> or “<strong>CFUs</strong>” to
describe the number of live active organisms within a probiotic supplement. A
CFU is the measurement of bacteria and yeast that is capable of living and
reproducing to form a group of the same. It does not include the bacteria that
is inactive or dead as only the viable organisms are considered probiotics. The
nutrition label of a probiotic supplement will state the number of CFUs.</p><p>
	So, how many CFUs are appropriate when purchasing a
probiotic supplement? Because modern diet and stress jeopardize friendly
bacteria and general health, most experts now recommend 10 to 
	<strong>50 billion CFUs</strong>
	for protection. The more, the better!</p><h2>Why Prebiotics are Important When Taking Probiotics</h2><p>
	Many people confuse 
	<strong>prebiotics </strong>with probiotics. After all,
the names sound similar. However, they both have different functions. While
probiotics “replenish” the friendly bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract,
prebiotics “
	<em>nourish</em>” the friendly bacteria. Prebiotics stimulate the growth and
maintenance of beneficial gut microbiota.</p><p>
	It’s important to choose a probiotic supplement that
contains a prebiotic for support. When reviewing the nutrition label of a
brand, be sure it includes some of the following soluble fiber ingredients:</p><ul>
	
<li><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12571376" target="_blank"><strong>Inulin</strong></a></li>	
<li>Oligofructose</li>	
<li>Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)</li>	
<li>Galactooligosaccharides (GOS)</li>	
<li>Other oligosaccharides</li>	
<li><a href="http://www.sunfiber.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong>Sunfiber®</strong></a></li></ul><h2>Looking for a Probiotic Delivery System that Protects</h2><p style="text-align: center;">
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/stomach.png" style="width: 465px;"></p><p>
	When choose a probiotic supplement, you want to be sure it
has a delivery system that helps protect against stomach acidity. Technology
such as&nbsp;
	<a href="http://www.capsugel.com/ihc/drcaps" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">DR Caps®</a> provides this protection. This innovative system also helps
mask taste and odor – as well as bad aftertaste – without the additional cost
that usually comes with costly coatings. Additionally, this vegetarian capsule
has unique properties that slow disintegration which ensures the full release
of probiotics are within the intestines.</p><h2>Moisture Resistant Packaging for a Probiotic Supplement</h2><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/moisture-protect.jpg" alt=""></p><p>
	Not only is the supplement’s delivery system important. The
packaging is just as important to protect the live active cultures within each
probiotic capsule. Be sure to choose bottles with insulated lining such as the
patented Active-Polymer® technology. High quality packaging provides stability
to all the capsules contained within.</p><p>
	When storing your bottle of probiotics, be sure it’s kept in
a dry, cool, and dark area. Read the brand’s packaging as some require
refrigeration.</p><h2>Choosing a Probiotic Brand with Good Manufacturing Practices</h2><p>
	Quality brands of probiotic supplements are usually stamped
with the “GMP” logo. GMP stands for “good manufacturing practices.” It is a system
that ensures products are consistently produced and controlled to quality
standards while minimizing risks involved in pharmaceutical production.</p><h2>Expecting a Range in Probiotic Supplement Pricing</h2><p>
	The price range for probiotic supplements vary depending on
the quality, species, strain(s), number of strains, and CFU count. Those with
lower CFU counts (less than 10 billion total CFUs) range anywhere from $12 to
$25. Higher strains would obviously be more costly. The best probiotic
supplements usually contain at least 10 strains within the Lactobacillus and
Bifidobacterium species and have at least 10 billion CFUs. They range in price
from $35 to $75.&nbsp;</p><h2>References</h2><p>
