Peak Health Care Products - Yeast Away

Probiotic/Flora is a term that denotes the naturally occurring, "friendly" bacteria that contribute to the health and balance of the intestinal tract. These cultures of microorganisms are able to multiply in the intestinal tract to create a balanced microflora (healthy intestinal culture), thereby preventing the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract. In addition, these "friendly" bacteria produce a natural antibiotic-like substance called bactericine, which helps to eliminate unwanted coliforms. This results in a healthy intestinal lining that is capable of optimum nutrient absorption.

Researchers have found links between bacterial imbalances in the gastrointestinal tract and many illnesses. If you have ever experienced any of the following symptoms or illnesses, you may have a bacterial imbalance:

Chronic fatigue / Diarrhea or constipation / Intestinal gas & indigestion / Rapid onset of osteoporosis / Poor immune response / Chronic bladder infections or vaginal infections / High cholesterol levels / Candida or yeast infections / Allergies / Skin conditions / Menstrual complaints / Chronic bad breath / Vitamin B deficiencies / Sensitivity to dairy products / Viral and bacterial infections / Colds & flu

Environmental factors and the consumption of certain foods and products can also cause the growth of pathogenic (harmful) bacteria, some of which are as follows:

Supplementing your usual diet with a probiotic supplement, rich in beneficial bacteria, can prevent conditions such as these from effecting your health. Flora Source contains 16 different strains of these beneficial intestinal floras, and is guaranteed to contain 16 billion viable cells per capsule at time of manufacture.

	Bifidobacterium longum Able to eliminate harmful, cancer causing nitrates commonly found in foods Shown to inhibit the development and growth of colon, liver, and breast cancers in laboratory animals
	Lactobacillus acidophilus  Found primarily in the small intestine Helps keep your heart healthy by helping to lower cholesterol levels in the blood - assimilates part of the ingested cholesterol, making it unavailable for absorption into the blood stream Inhibits yeast infections, improves chronic constipation and/or diarrhea by normalizing the digestive tract, aids in nutrient uptake (especially calcium), prevents food poisoning by targeting harmful bacteria, and has strong antimicrobial activity Helpful for those with food, chemical, and environmental sensitivities; nutrient malabsorption; and inflammation of the small intestine and/or stomach Helps break down bacterial enzymes and potential cancer-causing agents Gives support to the body during and after the use of antibiotics, steroids, chemotherapy, and intestinal cleansing programs Produces B-complex vitamins (enzymes that help digest proteins and fats) and natural antibiotic substances that can inhibit eleven disease-causing bacterium Found primarily in the small intestine
	Lactobacillus acidophilus (DDS-1) - The L. Acidophilus "Superstrain" Same benefits Lactobacillus acidophilus The acidophilus "superstrain" that has in general a stronger microbial activity Produces natural antibiotics (lactocidin & acidophilin), thereby, increasing your immune system's resistance against bad bacteria and fungus i.e. Candida albicans, Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus
	Lactobacillus brevis Produces lactic acid Synthesizes Vitamins D & K
	Lactobacillus bulgaricus Supports friendly bacteria, enhancing the digestibility of proteins and milk products Aids in the production of natural antibiotic substances, inhibiting undesirable organisms, and helps to correct the undesirable effects of prescription antibiotics Used for years to treat gastrointesinal disorders such as enterocolitis, used successfully for vaginal herpes (Herpes simplex labilis), mouth lesions (Aphthous stomatitis), ulcers of the cornea (dendritic ulceration) and genital herpes (Herpes progenitalis)
	Lactobacillus casei Potent protective activity against Listeria bacteria (bacteria that can contaminate shellfish, birds, spiders, and mammals), which have been found to cause the inflammation and infection of the brain and spinal cord (Spinal Meningitis). Inhibits activity in tumor cells and stimulates beneficial activity in normal cells
	Lactobacillus gasseri Helps to inhibit the binding of H. pylori Reduces inflammation Supports already healthy cholesterol levels
	Lactobacillus paracasei Promotes the growth and fermentation of friendly bacteria Aids in the prevention and treatment of certain types of diarrhea Enhancement of natural immune function
	Lactobacillus plantarum Supports friendly bacteria Involved in the production of short-chain fatty acids, and the amino acids; arginine, cysteine, and glutamine Helps produce lactolin, a natural antibiotic Synthesizes the amino acid, L-lysine, which is anti-viral
	Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lactobacillus GG) Causes the body to manufacture its own natural antibiotic substances to fight disease, increasing a person's resistance to viral infections and preventing diarrhea Triggers the body to produce lymphocytes, white blood cells which fight infection According to "Applied and Environmental Microbiology," can alleviate or prevent the following symptoms: Lactose intolerance / Viral and bacterial diarrhea / Adverse effects of abdominal radiotherapy / Constipation / Inflammatory bowel disease / Food allergies bullet According to the "Canadian Journal of Microbiology" it has been shown to increase resistance to yeast and urinary tract infections bullet According to the "European Journal of Oral Sciences" it has been shown to inhibit the growth of a variety of bacterial species, including streptococci Maintains health by releasing lactic acid, which lowers the pH, so that harmful bacteria, which thrive in higher acidic environments, are kept under control Helps destroy harmful bacteria, also helping in the absorption of minerals by aiding in the digestion of lactose Successfully used for treatment of Clostridium Difficile Colitis (C. diff bacteria colitis) - bacterium that survives antibiotic treatment
	Lactobacillus salivarius Produces a high amount of lactic acid, thus completely inhibiting the growth of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria, which are now known to be the major cause of peptic ulcers. Effective against Salmonella typhimurium
	Lactobacillus lactis Inhibits both gram positive (eg. listeria) and gram negative (eg. E. coli) pathogens Strengthen immunity Alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
	Streptococcus thermophilis Contains the antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) which is used for inflammation caused by arthritis Scavenges the body for free radicals thereby reducing the effects of aging, toxins, and chemicals Generates lactase activity, facilitating the digestion of lactose in milk Aids treatment of vaginal and intestinal infections Inhibits ulcer formation and displays antitumor activity, specifically colon cancer cell growth
