Introducing Probiotics 10

PROBIOTICS-10 provides 10 different probiotic strains and 10 billion active probiotic organisms that work synergistically to promote numerous areas of health, from immunity to stomach comfort and bowel regularity.

Beneficial bacteria to support health in both the upper and lower bowels

Help support intestinal and gastrointestinal health with Probiotics 10!

Detox + Cleanse + Balance

Probiotics-10 contains 10 scientifically chosen probiotics strains to support intestinal and gastrointestinal health, with up to 10 million colony forming units (CFUs) of probiotics as well as BIO-tract and LiveBac technologies to enhance probiotic effectiveness and shelf life. While other probiotics products may deliver large amounts of CFUs and probiotic strain variety, they do not deliver or compare to the complete support that Probiotics-10 offers.

Probiotics are live bacteria, or microorganisms, that work to help maintain the natural bacterial balance in the intestines.

The most common are bacteria that belong to the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium groups.

Not to be confused with prebiotics, food components that promote growth of beneficial bacteria over harmful bacteria, or synbiotics, products that combine probiotics and prebiotics.

Benefits of regular consumption of probiotics include enhanced immune function, improved colonic integrity, decreased incidence and duration of intestinal infections, down-regulated allergic response, and improved digestion and elimination.

Probiotics offer dietary means to support the balance of the intestinal flora. They may be used to counteract local immunological dysfunction, to stabilize the intestinal mucosal barrier function, to prevent infectious succession of pathogenic microorganisms and to influence intestinal metabolism.

Probiotics favorably influence digestive functions and colonic flora. The most promising health benefits are the prevention of diarrhea and enhancement of the immune system. These two effects may be mechanistically related.

Vitamins Are Not a Waste of Money

by Raymond Francis

A lot of doctors tell their patients that vitamins are a waste of money and just make expensive urine. As a result, we frequently get questions regarding the effectiveness of vitamins. The truth is vitamin supplements are a necessity for most people, but most vitamin products are ineffective and not worth what you pay for them. Sources of confusion include an editorial and two deeply flawed studies that were published in the 2013 Annals of Internal Medicine concluding that multivitamins are a waste of money because they do nothing to prevent disease. These studies and the opinions expressed in the editorial are outrageous, misleading and dishonest, demanding a thoughtful response.

An estimated half of the population takes vitamin and mineral supplements, and multivitamins amount to about half of all vitamin sales. The so-called experts behind this recent research are urging people to save their money and abandon use of these supplements. Unfortunately, for the most part, this is actually good advice because most multivitamins don’t work. But what about the ones that do work?

Without getting into the flawed methodology used in these studies, there is a major reason the multivitamins were guaranteed to not show benefits. The products used in the studies were low-dose, low-quality multivitamins that could not be expected to produce beneficial results. The studies were doomed to fail from the start because high-quality vitamins were never used.
One study used a popular vitamin brand that contained 75 mg of vitamin C, an amount so inadequate that it is highly unlikely to show measurable health benefits. Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper, manganese, and calcium were all in chemical forms that offer low biological activity and minimal benefit. The vitamin E was in a synthetic form that is known to be poorly utilized. The B vitamins did not include the most biologically active forms, and the vitamin B12 was in the form of cyanocobalamin, an unnatural molecular form that is known to have low biological activity and to even have toxic effects.
Among other insults to your health, this brand is loaded with fillers, some of which are allergenic such as corn starch and modified food starch. It even contains toxic talcum powder. This product is full of artificial colors, including FD&C Blue 2, Red 40, and Yellow 6. Artificial colors have a long history of toxicity. It also contains the allergenic and toxic preservative sodium benzoate along with BHT. BHT has been banned in other countries, including England, Sweden, and Australia. It is simply not possible for such a formula to prevent disease.

 

 

Isotonix products have certain quantities of fructose, glucose and maltodextrin. These entities have been placed to improve, delivery of, and the taste of many key nutrients. Many nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and plant extracts have a quite a bitter taste. Our products are devoid of any binders, fillers, animal gelatin or colorants which characterize many pills, soft gels or hard capsules.

Isotonix products are isotonic and this is one of the strongest selling points due to the remarkable 97% delivery to the small bowel within 5-15 minutes. That isotonicity is made possible due to the fructose, maltodextrin and glucose present in the formulations. Fructose is the major sugar in our products and it's glycemic index is 19 out of 100, whereas glucose is 100 out of 100. Glucose is known to facilitate absorption of nutrients.

Do we want the nutrient to be absorbed or are we happy to just swallow it and subsequently flush it? Isotonix products contain approximately 2 grams of sugar which is mostly fructose; keep in mind the low glycemic index of fructose. An 8 ounce serving of grape juice contains 36 grams of sugar and 121 mg of OPC whereas 2 doses of OPC contains 250 mg of bioflavinoids (anti-oxidants) of which 150 mg is OPC and contains only 4 grams of sugar. You have options; do nothing (not a good option) or drink juice and a lot of it. You will get some nutrients but your sugar intake greatly escalates; best to take Isotonix with better delivery, more nutrients and less sugar. The glycemic index in Isotonix is far less than the equivalent amount of OPC intake in fruit juice.

To give you a frame of reference, Isotonix products will have between 2-4 grams of fructose per serving depending on the dose or product. This is equivalent to a small bite of sweet fruit. A 12 ounce can of soda has approximately 30 grams of fructose. An 8 ounce serving of orange juice has 35 grams of fructose/glucose and sucrose.

Maltodextrin, the third form of sugar ingredient is a form of starch which is used in very small quantities and adds very little to the glycemic index of the products. It is used primarily as a drying agent in the product line.

All in all, there are very good reasons to utilize Isotonix products; knowing that much thought has been placed into the products for your benefit.

I would like to thank Dr. Patricia J. Danaher for her excellent discussion on this question. Her presentation has been reformulated for the lay person in mind.
