Syntol contains a combination of probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to be the first and only gentle yeast cleanse of its kind. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast colonies, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Prebiotics are soluble fibers that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial flora. Syntol contains IMO as its prebiotic which is completely resistant to bodily digestion, able to pass safely through the stomach and into the intestine where it stimulates the growth of probiotics and bifidobacteria by fermenting and creating the ideal conditions for microflora colonization. The enzyme yeast cleanse is beneficial for the breaking down of dead and decaying yeast. This allows the body to remove the toxic yeast before it has a chance to ferment and release chemicals such as formaldehyde that are known to cause uncomfortable detox symptoms. There is a single layer of cells between the bloodstream and the digestive waste products in our intestines. When the intestines are inhabited with normal, healthy bacterial flora, this close proximity is not a problem. The powerful digestive immune system is designed to swiftly remove toxins when a threat to the body is detected. The more waste that accumulates from a poor diet, low-grade inflammation, and/or abnormal or pathogenic bacteria, the bigger the challenge to determine what is helpful or harmful. The result of waste accumulating in the intestines will increase immune complexing and autoimmune reactivity throughout the body. Syntol directly addresses these causative factors with proteolytic enzymes and probiotics to break down harmful proteins and yeast, remove pathogens and normalize intestinal bacterial flora. Syntol contains 3 Billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units) of various non-competing strains of bacteria. One of these strains is the potent B. subtilis that is a spore forming bacteria. Spore germination is a dependable means of delivering healthy flora to the intestine in less than ideal conditions. Most bacteria are susceptible to any acidic pH range, mainly thriving in the more alkaline lower GI, but spores are able to withstand a broader range of variables in regards to pH and temperature ranges. This improves the chances that the probiotic strain will properly germinate and begin the process of restoring intestinal balance. Candida Case Study Study Shows Syntol Natural Anti-fungal Kills Yeast without Side Effects There's good news for both men and women wanting to support healthy candida levels.* Syntol AMD a new enzyme-based probiotic formula, aids in promoting normal systemic candida amounts without the occasional discomfort associated with cleanses.* Herbal cleanses can be effective, but often cause undesirable die-off symptoms.* Researchers specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added to our Syntol® formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away.* Syntol uses very specific enzymes and probiotic strains, selected for their cleansing and immune enhancing properties.* These probiotics produce peroxide and other substances that are toxic to yeast.* Syntol is one of the only gentle yeast cleanses on the market.* About Candidiasis If left untreated, an overgrowth of intestinal Candida albicans can become parasitic, robbing the body of vital nutrients in addition to developing rhizoids (plant-like roots) that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. Rhizoids can eventually lead to leaky gut syndrome (LGS), which involves the dispersion of undigested food and microscopic bowel particulates seeping into the bloodstream. Aside from the candida, leaky gut can trigger a destructive pro-inflammatory autoimmune response.* Candida in the Blood “Current medical thought is that if candida exists at all in the blood then participants are suffering from serious medical illness and are near death,” Dr. Bajon says. “Nearly 80 percent of the people who come to see me have at least trace amounts of circulating Candida albicans in their blood, proving at least to me that blood isn’t at all sterile. These people are very uncomfortable with effects on their neurological, emotional, and gastrointestinal systems, but they are far from death,” he adds. The number-one cause of candidiasis is the overuse of prescription antibiotics. Antibiotics, while killing harmful bacteria, also kill the healthy intestinal bacteria that normally keep yeast in check. Yeast thrives on sugars and complex and refined carbohydrates, which simply add fuel to the fire. Dr. Bajon explains, “Although complex carbohydrates and fruits high in fructose are a healthy addition to a high fiber diet, many people are intolerant to such foods. Intolerance to these healthy carbohydrates is referred to as complex carbohydrate intolerance or CCI. CCI can lead to uncomfortable and embarrassing gastroenterological symptoms. Many nutritionists believe that it’s the gluten fractions in these foods that affect the immune systems. CCI and even celiac disease sufferers can further aggravate a leaky gut with sugar and carbs. These foods stimulate unfriendly critters like candida to multiply in the gut.”* The Study Dr. Bajon was the leading researcher on the latest study on Syntol, formulated to be the first and only “gentle” yeast cleanse of its kind. The study involved an in-depth analysis of live blood samples in participants suffering from moderate to severe symptoms of candidiasis. Using the Crook Candida Yeast Test by Dr. William G. Crook, an authority in the area of candida yeast infections, Dr. Bajon screened some 20 participants before selecting his ideal test patients. After scoring the test results, he evaluated the nine participants who likely had the highest instance of candida based on their scores. The live blood analysis was performed at 1,000 magnifications and enlarged to over 10,000 times. Dr. Bajon selected the most severe cases to complete the study. The participants were divided into three groups of two—moderate, severe, and extreme. They were given 6, 9, and 12 Syntol capsules daily respectively for a period of 45 days. Each participant returned every 2 weeks for follow-up blood analysis and to quantify the regression of candida concentrations in the blood. No placebo or other drugs were administered during the study.* Results The study showed that the use of Syntol significantly reduced and sometimes completely eliminated Candida albicans in the bloodstream. Participants showed significant improvements in: Gastrointestinal symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, burping/flatulence, stomach discomfort, and acid reflux.* Toxicity symptoms including headaches, excessive fatigue, muscle weakness, insomnia, low sex drive, chronic pain, and blurred and spotted vision.* Emotional health including anxiety, mood swings, irritability, inability to think clearly or concentrate, and poor memory.* Food cravings including sweets, lack of satiety, and general over-eating.* “We had some great results,” Dr. Bajon reports. “Most importantly, Syntol killed candida gently without a die-off or lash back. Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, specifically studied the enzymes that develop on dead yeast in laboratory settings. Similar enzymes were then reproduced, concentrated and added into the Syntol formula. These enzymes are attracted to dying candida cells where they dissolve or digest it away. “Fermenting yeast can produce 79 distinct toxins including acetylaldehydes. Acetylaldehydes are toxic chemicals similar to formaldehyde that accumulate in joints, muscles, spinal and brain tissues,” says Dr. Stephan Cooter, PhD, in his book Beating Chronic Disease. Anti-fungal drugs kill yeast, but leave it to die inside the body that can produce toxins and flu-like symptoms. Fermenting yeast can quickly be eliminated and digested with certain enzymes. Candida Participant Before Syntol High concentrations of Candida, shown as mold clumps and surrounded by white irregularly shaped dots (elevated white blood cells), were seen in the plasma. Patient had serious symptoms such as chronic fatigue, poor memory, dizziness, muscle pain, vaginal yeast with itching, burning and rashes, blurred and spotted vision, abdominal bloating and insomnia. Patient also craved for sweets. Candida Participant 45 Days After Syntol Blood plasma was observed to be free of Candida albicans and has normal white blood cells (fighter cells). Patient noticed an increase in energy levels, higher than what was attained in 10 years. Itching, burning and appearance of rashes lessened. Normal vision and digestion were observed. Patient lost approximately 12 pounds and craving for foods with high sugar content diminished. Patient sleeps soundly and wakes up more refreshed with less foul odor in the mouth. Syntol and Yeast Syntol promotes a healthy balance of Candida albicans while delivering healthy bacteria to the gut without the Herxheimer reaction. Yeast can trick the body into craving simple carbohydrates and sugar, which can create havoc on individuals trying to make healthy food choices and manage weight. Daily supplementation of Syntol AMD may support a shift away from dietary carbohydrates and sugar preferences. “It is hoped that the results of the study will provide valuable information to individuals and clinicians on the effectiveness of Syntol AMD supplementation,” concludes Dr. Bajon. Long-term Results After 45 days using the therapeutic protocol set up by Arthur Andrew Medical, makers of Syntol, all participants showed virtually zero or trace amounts of candida in their blood. Symptomatic side effects had all been abated and virtually no symptoms of candida were further experienced by all participants. Some of the participants noticed a significant weight loss as a result of reduced food cravings. The study proved to be an important documented breakthrough in our learning more about naturally and effectively controlling this insidious organism. Suggested Use Directions: Take 1 to 4 capsules with 8 oz of water between meals or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For therapeutic results, take 3 or 4 capsules three times daily. Warning: If you are pregnant, nursing or under medical supervision, please contact your healthcare provider prior to using this product. Is Syntol safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol. When is the best time to take Syntol? For best results, take the product at least one hour prior to eating and/or two hours after a meal. Can I take Syntol with other supplements? Syntol can be used safely with other dietary supplements. How long does it take for Syntol to work? Typically, supplementing the product for a minimum of a month's time is recommended, with the best results occurring anywhere from one to two months thereafter. Can I use Syntol while I am taking antibiotics? Some doctors feel it is best to wait until an antibiotic regimen is over before taking a probiotic supplement, however there is no evidence that probiotic supplementation is dangerous or will somehow negatively impact the efficacy of the prescription. Opinions do vary, and some doctors will actually encourage their patients to take probiotics while on antibiotics. For this reason it is always best to contact your healthcare provider with inquiries regarding your prescription drugs prior to taking dietary supplements. Supplement Facts (IMO) Isomalto-Oligosaccharide (prebiotic) IMO is a natural, certified organic prebiotic fiber, providing low calorie and soluble prebiotic fiber for human digestive health. IMO is non-GMO, sugar-free and gluten-free. When IMO enters the large intestine, it is fermented by the indigenous bacteria, providing fertilization of beneficial microflora. It has been clinically shown to greatly increase the number of indigenous bacteria in the digestive tract. In addition to being Kosher and Halal, our IMO products are FDA GRAS and approved by Health Canada. Clinical studies have shown IMO to be the least flatulent in comparison to inulin and FOS. B. subtilis Bacillus subtilis is a spore forming bacteria that is widely used as a fungicide. The bacteria colonize the root system of the fungus, leaving no room for fungal disease organisms. L. helvecticus Lactobacillus helvecticus is a probiotic that stimulates the immune and digestive system, controls diarrhea, reduces lactose intolerance and can inhibit unfriendly bacteria. S. boulardii Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-systemic and non-pathogenic yeast originally found in the skins of the lychee and mangosteen fruits. This yeast is an important probiotic that can help to recolonize and sustain flora in the large and small intestine, with a remarkable ability to control various forms of diarrhea. L. acidophilus Lactobacillus acidophilus is a healthy bacteria that produces hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid and other substances that create an acidic, unfriendly environment for harmful organisms. L. rhamnosus Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a lactic acid producing bacterial strain that is known for its ability to survive in the highly acidic conditions of the stomach as well as the intestines. L. plantarum Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid producing bacteria that prevents harmful bacteria from attaching to the mucosal lining and competes for the nutrients the bad bacteria need to survive. L. lactis Lactobacillus lactis is a gram-positive bacteria that ferments milk sugar to lactic acid and adds synergistic support to the probiotic blend as a whole. B. bifidum Bifidobacterium bifidum naturally inhabits the colon and vagina, and is a very potent probiotic for the balance of microflora in the intestines. Digestive Yeast Cleanse Syntol uses the extremely potent blend of protease (protein digesting), cellulase and hemicellulase (cellulose digesting), glucoamylase and amylase (breaks down sugars), and serratiopeptidase. These enzymes strip away the Candida's protective protein shell and begin digesting its cellular infrastructure. Syntol contains this powerful intestinal cleanse to assist in the removal of dead yeast and other bad bacteria from the body. This will protect the body from experiencing detox symptoms from toxins typically given off from the elimination of yeast.

Syntol AMD is a powerful combination of non-competing probiotics and prebiotics that facilitate an extremely oxygen-rich environment, preventing the growth of yeast colonies and providing the perfect conditions for indigenous bacterial growth. In addition, Syntol AMD also contains a powerful enzyme blend that is capable of removing dead yeast, bad bacteria and toxins from the body. What are Probiotics? Probiotics are medically referred to as a group of “friendly bacteria”, or “microflora”. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, and inhibit the negative effects of constant antibiotic overexposure. What are Prebiotics? Prebiotics are essentially the food source for probiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that pass through your digestive tract until they reach the large intestine, where they then feed the beneficial microflora. Supplementing with a prebiotic such as IMO (contained in Syntol) on its own has been clinically shown to increase the body's levels of natural microflora. Supplementing prebiotics together with probiotics provides one's body with the best opportunity to regain gastrointestinal and immune health. Why Syntol? Syntol contains 3.4 billion CFU’s of 100% complementary microflora and spore-germinating probiotics per capsule. To stimulate the growth and activity of the probiotics, IMO, a non-digestible fiber has been added as a prebiotic. In addition to beneficial microflora, Syntol also contains a powerful enzyme blend designed to clear yeast and other unwanted debris out of the intestinal tract, making Syntol much stronger than competing yeast cleanses on the market. Syntol is the only of its kind, containing prebiotics, probiotics and an enzyme blend all in one capsule. How Does Syntol Work? Syntol AMD uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria. Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold. These spores, along with the potent probiotics, attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, allowing for complete microflora colonization. In addition, the enzyme yeast cleanse will help to break down any dead fungus or toxic materials remaining in the intestinal tract, allowing for a complete eradication of unwanted debris. What is Candida? Various strains of candida are naturally found in the human body. With healthy levels of microflora, these yeast strains live in perfect harmony within the intestine, however, poor diet and other factors can cause candida overgrowth. Some doctors argue that 60 to 80 percent of the US population may be affected by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. Eventually, these yeast strains can begin to turn “parasitic”, robbing our bodies of our resources for their own benefit. Over time, Candida can begin developing plantlike roots that penetrate and attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal wall. These roots can dig deep enough to cause permeability (leakage) in the intestinal tract and allow toxic material to flow into the blood. Candida is comprised of an outer protective protein layer and primarily cellulose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Chitin) under it, making it very difficult for the body to break down and eliminate naturally. Syntol contains a powerful enzyme blend necessary to strip away the protective protein shell and begin digesting the cellular infrastructure of the Candida. Do I Need To Take Syntol Forever? For therapeutic benefit, most people find that a minimum of one month of supplementation is necessary, with the best results occurring one to two months thereafter. Many people find that a maintenance dose of Syntol is a great addition to their daily regimen to keep their body in balance once healthy. Does Syntol Need To Be Refrigerated? Refrigeration of Syntol is not necessary. The advanced spore germination technology and freeze dried bacterial strains allow for a shelf stable product. However, it is important to store probiotics in a cool and dry place. Is Syntol Safe? No serious or adverse side effects have been reported from taking probiotics or enzymes such as those in Syntol.

Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid GI Distress Relief™ is Body Ecology’s key to high-quality, live probiotic products. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are proven to support a healthy digestive system. What many consumers don’t know is that not all probiotics are the same. In fact, not all probiotics make it to your gut intact! The type of strains of bacteria and yeasts in your probiotics matter. You need something strong, resilient, and most importantly, effective. Our formula contains a superstar blend of microscopic strains of specific bacteria and yeast. This superstar blend is more likely to survive the acidic journey through the stomach and into the colon, which may help rejuvenate your overall gut health. (1) Fact: GI Distress Relief™ contains 50 billion good microscopic alchemists per serving. Forty billion Bifidobacteria -- made up of two proven Bifidus lactis (Howaru HN019 and Bl-04) strains -- combined with 10 billion S. boulardii -- a beneficial yeast that helps fight candida -- are ready and able to reach and colonize your GI tract. Healthy Gut, Healthy Life: Give Your Gut The Support It Needs Gut health has been connected to digestion, mood, overall health, immunity, and even the way people think! Taking the time to heal your gut is a sure path to improving overall health. The first step is to understand what conditions you may be suffering from. The second step is to take a probiotic that offers the right strains of bacteria and yeast that are known to promote a healthy gut microbiome. As we continue to learn more about microbiomes (this is the collection of microbes that live inside and on our bodies that keep us healthy), scientists are realizing the complexity of our microbiomes and how certain strains of bacteria in the same species can have significantly different characteristics and properties. For example: Within the species of Bifidus, the Bifidus lactis strain Howaru has been shown to help resolve irritable bowel disease. (2) Not all strains of Bifidus have this ability. Most importantly, some strains of bacteria, viruses, or yeast in a species can survive the long journey through your digestive tract, and some can’t. Some secrete certain substances that are useful to other microbes living in the same area, and some within the same species can be harmful. This is also true for yeast. When choosing a probiotic, you must choose one that provides strains that can make the journey and support the overall health of your gut. For example: Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast, which can lead to unwanted infections. However, Saccharomyces boulardii is a wonderful yeast that helps control pathogenic yeast and promotes overall health. S. boulardii may help negate gliotoxin, a nasty toxin that candida and mold make to suppress the immune system. (4) Different strains of microbes perform different jobs. We have selected our specific strains for their demonstrated effectiveness in supporting healthy guts. Strain-specific probiotics (with research showing the conditions they treat) are the future. You can find two superstar strains in Body Ecology’s GI Distress Relief™: Why We Choose To Focus on B. lactis BL-04 and B. lactis HN019 Bifidobacteria is plush in your system as an infant if you are breastfed. However, as you age, this essential bacteria diminishes - to almost nothing in the elderly. The lack of this important bacteria can lead to gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of gut microflora, or microbial community, which leads to illness and inflammation. Simply put, it is when harmful bacteria have overpowered good bacteria in your gut, which can lead to depression, bloating, and other maladies. When healthy bacterias are often overwhelmed by harmful bacteria due to antibiotics, stress, poor sleep, hygiene, infections, and especially a chemically-laden, processed-food diet, this can negatively impact your immunity. Bifidobacteria help fight inflammation, protect your gut lining, and maintain a balanced environment. (3) They're essential in helping to ward off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. (3) This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year. This is also why taking GI Distress Relief™ is so important to your overall health. As you age, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ — containing the B. lactis HN019 strain shown to be especially helpful to older people and those with gut infections — can help support both your immune system and your digestive function. (4) The Journey of Good Health Begins In The Gut A healthy gut is the root of a healthy life. A healthy gut directly impacts all aspects of your life, including mood, cognition, immunity, digestion, and overall health and well-being. If you want a healthy life, functional medical practitioners know “First, fix the gut.” Regardless of your health struggles, a healthy gut is key to improving your immune system and finding overall health and wellness. Your gut is your key to good health. When you heal your gut, you are empowered to shift your entire wellbeing and positively impact how well you age. You have control over what’s happening in your gut! Even when struggling with chronic symptoms and illness, the steps you take to support your gut can lead to overall improvements in your health. Your microbiome is evolving every minute, and can easily be guided to improve. While you may already know that disease begins in your gut, your health also originates there. (5) This is critical to understand. When you help your gut recover, you positively influence your health and your longevity. Support your gut’s repair with these standout ingredients in GI Distress Relief™: Bifidus lactis - These two scientifically-supported strains, B. lactis Bl-04® and B. lactis HN019, have a long list of benefits. B. lactis Bl-04® may help improve hay fever, allergies, and immune response while helping to decrease side effects from antibiotics. (6,7) B. lactis HN019 may promote better immunity and bowel elimination while helping to relieve constipation. (8,9) Saccharomyces boulardii - S. boulardii is one of the few probiotic yeasts that scientists have studied in the context of type 2 diabetes. (10) In animal studies, researchers found that S. boulardii may help minimize liver damage and inflammation. It also safeguards against diarrhea and can break down toxins from pathogenic bacteria, including the anthrax toxin. (11) Sunfiber - This unique prebiotic (fiber) is essential to our gut-soothing formulation. Tasteless, colorless, water-soluble, and gluten-free, Sunfiber successfully feeds Bifidus. It’s also safe for those who may have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth), and histamine intolerance. (12) If you have digestive problems, autoimmune issues, mood disorders, and aren’t happy with how you’re aging, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a strain-specific probiotic like GI Distress Relief™ can help. Of course, you’ll want to remove the cause or causes of your gut dysbiosis — especially inflammatory foods and infections like candida. Then, focus on establishing a healthy microbiome in your small and large intestines. *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.

Gut Support, Probiotics, Digestive Aid Not all probiotics are created equal. Body Ecology's Bifidus Power Blend has been carefully crafted to feature four probiotic strains of bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria are native to the gut of a healthy, breastfed baby, but their numbers gradually decline as you age – and not without consequence! An aging gut is at the root of chronic disease and recurring illness. Good Health Begins at Birth One month after birth, bifidobacteria dominate a healthy, breastfed baby's gut – making up as much as 91 percent of the microbes that live there.1 These good-for-you bacteria help to tone the gut barrier and cultivate a strong immune system. But unfortunately, not everyone starts out with a microbial ecosystem ruled by bifidobacteria. There are a few factors that disrupt a baby's gut: Premature birth Cesarean section delivery Use of baby formula Antibiotic use The bad news is that babies are born via C-section, fed formula, and given antibiotics on the regular. Chances are high that one of these happened in your own life when you were a baby. But at what cost? While your own story is unique, science illuminates specific trends. For example – during infancy, bifidobacteria turn up the volume on one arm of your immune system, regulating its activity. Without high numbers of good bifidobacteria, your immune system falls out of balance. With this, your risk of inflammation, autoimmune disease, and eczema goes up.2 It turns out that in adults and babies alike, bifidobacteria can curb inflammatory signals that have spun out of control and have led to gastrointestinal distress.3 This includes: Constipation Diarrhea Inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's and ulcerative colitis Necrotizing enterocolitis (seen in babies) Bifidobacteria are able to reduce intestinal permeability and seal a leaky gut.* They take control of the inner ecosystem and push the bad bacteria bullies out. 4 Time Is Not on Your Side If you were breastfed as a baby, special sugars in breast milk made sure your baby ecosystem was thriving with plenty of bifidobacteria. However, as you move into adulthood, your bifidobacteria decline. Under the right circumstances, this is okay – you want diversity and a healthy mix of microbes. But if a drop in healthy tribes of good bacteria involves antibiotics or a diet filled with processed foods, this can impact your overall immune health. Remember, bifidobacteria fight inflammation and keep the gut healthy. They're essential in warding off infection and may even protect against the development of disease. This is but one reason why probiotics become increasingly important with each passing year. As you age, a high-quality probiotic like the Bifidus Power Blend can support both your immune system and your digestion. When the Bifidus Power Blend becomes a regular part of your day, you'll have the support you need to fight off infections and clean up cellular waste. You can rest assured that the Bifidus Power Blend has been expertly formulated to include only the very best probiotic strains for your health. Trust Your Gut Feeling As the Principle of Uniqueness reminds us, you know your body, and if you listen close enough, you will intuitively understand what your body needs to function at its best. Relying on this natural "gut feeling" to nurture and improve your health is not to be underestimated. If you have digestive issues, large or small, or if you find yourself dragging through your day more often than you used to, a daily probiotic can help to correct your course. In our specially formulated Bifidus Power Blend, you'll find: Bifidobacterium longum (UABl-14) - Research shows that B. longum can reduce cholesterol, promote weight loss, and relieve constipation.5 In older adults, B. longum minimizes flu and cold-like symptoms – such as fatigue, headache, and runny nose.6 In 2011, scientists found that B. longum could reduce anxiety by way of the gut-brain axis.7 Bifidobacterium bifidum (UABb-10) - Like its bifidobacteria friends, B. bifidum reduces markers of inflammation. 8 One study published in 2011 even found that a probiotic containing only B. bifidum was enough to significantly improve signs of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), such as bloating, abdominal pain, and gas. 9Research shows that B. bifidum (along with B. lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus) can safeguard against eczema when taken in the third trimester of pregnancy.10 And because bifidobacteria levels decrease with age – increasing your risk of infection – researchers found that supplementing with B. bifidum helps to rebuild the inner ecosystem, even after supplementation has ended. 11 Bifidobacterium breve (Bb-03) - In children with constipation, B. breve increases bowel movements, softens stool, and reduces pain related to constipation.12 In animal studies, researchers found that B. breve suppresses weight gain, improving both cholesterol and blood sugar.13 Other research published in 2015 shows that a probiotic blend of Lactobacillus rhamnosous and B. breve might have an anti-inflammatory effect in cigarette smokers.14 Bifidobacteria infantis (Bi-26) - In 2013, researchers looked closely at the impact of B. infantis on inflammatory disorders that manifested within the gut or outside the gut. Patients had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, or chronic fatigue syndrome. In all cases, B. infantis has the ability to trim down inflammatory markers.15 In those with celiac disease who are still consuming gluten, B. infantis reduces inflammatory markers as well as indigestion, reflux, and constipation.16 The importance of a healthy gut, and how gut health can affect all areas of your life, can't be overstated. Grasping this truth — that the gut is the source — can bring about an empowering and often radical change. "You have control over what is happening in your gut. The microbiome is evolving every minute, and it's easily manipulated," says Donna Gates, gut health pioneer and creator of The Body Ecology Diet. "People have said for a long time that disease begins in the gut. Of course, health begins there as well. That's very important to understand because you can fix your gut, and when you do, then you can radiate health. This is always the first place to start: Fix your gut." *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
