With probiotics, it?s all about survival.Probiotic organisms must survive three critical barriers to be of benefit to the consumer - the manufacturing process, time on the shelf, and most importantly, survive transit through the acidic environment of the stomach. Designs for Health?s new Probiotic Supreme? is formulated to handle all of the above.
Regular consumption of probiotics may improve diarrhea, constipation, immune response, mucin production, dysbiosis, bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth, and should be considered during or after use of antibiotics.
This translates to better results?through increased levels of protected bacteria optimally released throughout the entire digestive tract.
When this caplet enters the stomach, it begins to dissolve in the gastric juice. The polysaccharides in the gel rehydrate and form an insoluble gel matrix. The protected bacteria move their way to the small intestine where the increased, more alkaline pH causes the probiotics to release?right where we want them. There is now no need to overstuff the capsules to account for die-off of organisms due to their typical intolerance to stomach acid. Room temperature is ideal. Keep out of extreme temperatures?especially heat.
Factors which increase the need for probiotics:
- Infants being delivered by C-section or that are not breast fed long enough to establish a strong friendly flora for immunological health
- Pasteurization of foods and decreased consumption of fermented foods
- Increase in the use of antibiotics in our livestock
- Overuse of antibiotics in treating human infections which may not be caused by bacteria
- Over consumption of sugar and carbohydrates which promote yeast overgrowth
- Over consumption of alcohol which promotes yeast overgrowth
Common Indications
- Immune defense at the intestinal and systemic level
- Minimize the side effects of antibiotics
- Minimize allergic responses
- Prevention/alleviation of traveler's diarrhea
- Prevention/alleviation of diarrhea and constipation in infants, adults and elderly
- Inhibit growth of pathogenic organisms: bacteria, yeast, parasites
- Improve digestion of lactose
- Alleviate inflammatory bowel disease/ulcerative colitis
- Vitamin K synthesis
- Alleviate atopic dermatitis
Probiotic Supreme has Ensured Survival in Intestines:
This new Probiotic Supreme caplet is ideally taken with or after meals since it takes advantage of a patented technology delivery-system which ensures that acid-sensitive probiotics survive passage through the stomach and arrive safely in the alkaline intestinal tract where they can thrive and provide health benefits. This unique delivery technology is designed to ensure that the bacteria survive passage through the stomach to the small intestine. The delivery system involves gel-forming polysaccharides that are insoluble at a low (acidic) pH like that in the stomach. When this caplet enters the stomach, it begins to dissolve in the gastric juice. The polysaccharides in the gel rehydrate and form an insoluble gel matrix. The protected bacteria move their way to the small intestine where the increased, more alkaline pH causes the probiotics to release?right where we want them.
Research Review
Designs for Health is once more taking advantage of the latest advancements in scientific technology. Designs for Health?s new Probiotic Supreme Powder has gone from 4 good but standard strains to 6 much more stable and viable strains?carefully selected to be acid tolerant and provide excellent adherence to the gut wall. These 6 strains represent the most necessary, stable and best-researched bacteria known today. Designs for Health now provides 20 billion live organisms per half teaspoon.
Probiotics maintain a healthy bacterial environment in the intestines by displacing bad bacteria, aiding digestion of food including dairy products and by combating yeast overgrowth. Beneficial bacteria also aid in the synthesis of Vitamin K and CLA and possibly the B Vitamins. Many doctors recommend Probiotics after a patient has been taking antibiotics. Daily use of Probiotic Supreme supports healthy bowel movements. Designs for Health?s new Probiotic Supreme Powder is much more room-temperature stable, although refrigeration is still recommended to enhance long-term viability.
Commonly Asked Questions
Why Do Some Formulas Add FOS?
Adding FOS has a few benefits and also negatives. FOS is inherently high in moisture so will relinquish this in the capsule, leading to reduced viability of the organisms and reduced stability of the product. The lower the water activity of a diluent the better, which is why low Aw, non-GMO, rice maltodextrin is used. Although the FOS may provide a food source in the intestine, the amount added is almost insignificant as it is a macro nutrient and most intestines would have adequate food source unless the person is fasting.
Why Choose These Strains?
Designs for Health gets the probiotic strains for this unique, powdered formula from the largest, most trusted producer of dietary supplement probiotics in the United States. This allows us to take advantage of decades of technical expertise, professional know-how from world experts in microbiology, and a state-of-the-art Quality Control department that ensures both the safety and efficacy of these well-researched strains.
The probiotic strains in this formula were produced using a patented stabilization system; the end-result of a 3-year R&D program performed in the United States. So, as long as you keep this product cool or at room temperature, you can trust these probiotics to be stable and viable for 2 full years, as well as inherently acid-and bile-resistant. That means you can just stir a teaspoon of Probiotic Supreme powder in water, add them to your PaleoMeal shake, or sprinkle them into yogurt or on any cold food, and you will get the full benefits of the best researched probiotics in the world.
Lactobacillus plantarum was chosen because of its ability to produce high amounts of beneficial enzymes such as protease for aiding protein digestion.
Bifidobacterium lactis and longum have a tremendous amount of research behind them and are very hearty, stable strains. Bifidobacterium lactis will populate the lower intestine whereas the Lactobacillus plantarum will populate the upper intestine. Lactobacillus plantarum also helps lower the pH, making the environment better for the Bifidobacterium lactis.
