Flora 12+ (150 Capsules) by Energetix

Flora 12+ 150 capsules is a multi-strain probiotic that contains a mixture of 12 beneficial bacteria plus Sacchromyces boulardii. This formula is designed to offer a broad range of probiotic strains that can help improve intestinal microbial balance. The intestinal microflora plays a critical role in the whole health of the body and may be thrown out of balance by high sugar diets, chronic infection and overuse of antibiotics, among other things. Flora 12+ is designed to help repopulate depleted strains of these critical bacteria. Studies have demonstrated that beneficial flora are important for the maturation of the immune system and can also help maintain a balanced inflammatory immune response in the gut.

More specifically, these "friendly" bacteria are known to help strengthen the immune response associated with the intestinal mucosa and may prevent the attachment of pathogens and the entry of allergens into the body. Other evidence shows that they also help facilitate digestion and relieve digestive disorders.*

The probiotic strains included in Flora 12+ are primarily a combination of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. Lactobacillus has been found to be most numerous in the small intestine and female reproductive organs, where Bifidobacterium normally inhabits the colon. The "plus" in the product name is for Sacchromyces bouladrii. This probiotic yeast was included for its broad-acting benefit in helping maintain and restore the natural flora in the small and large intestines. Studies also suggest that Saccharomyces boulardii may have a strong antagonistic effect against a variety of Candida strains.

The Energetix Flora 12+ 150 capsule formula also contains a small amount of FOS. This nutrient is classified as a prebiotic, which is a non-digestible food ingredient that has been found to stimulate the growth and activity of microflora in the intestinal tract.*
