Support Your Gut Health with Ortho Biotic® Probiotics
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex ecosystem, home to approximately 500 different bacterial strains that coexist and compete for resources. When this environment is in a healthy, balanced state—a condition known as eubiosis—gut function is optimal, and symptoms are minimal. However, when this balance is disrupted by an overgrowth of harmful organisms, known as dysbiosis, a variety of digestive and systemic issues can arise. Everyday factors such as certain medications (antibiotics, contraceptives), alcohol consumption, and dietary imbalances can disrupt this delicate bacterial harmony, impacting overall health and well-being.
Why Probiotic Quality Matters
Because probiotics are live organisms, the quality of their manufacturing, handling, and storage is crucial for effectiveness. For a probiotic supplement to truly benefit your health, it must remain stable until its expiration and be able to survive its journey through the stomach to the intestines. Ortho Biotic® uses BioShield® technology, an advanced encapsulation process designed to ensure the stability and potency of its active probiotic strains. This innovative technology protects the probiotic organisms from moisture, heat, light, and oxygen, keeping them dormant until they reach the GI tract, where they activate and provide maximum benefit.
Key Benefits of Ortho Biotic® Probiotics
Ortho Biotic® is a carefully crafted formula containing seven clinically researched probiotic strains, including Saccharomyces boulardii, a well-studied organism known for its ability to support gut flora balance and boost immune function. These strains have been specifically chosen for their resilience to the acidic and enzymatic environment of the GI tract and their ability to adhere to the intestinal lining, helping to:
-
Promote a Healthy Gut Microflora: By encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria, Ortho Biotic® helps maintain a balanced microbiome, essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
-
Protect Intestinal Integrity: A balanced gut flora helps preserve the lining of the intestines, which plays a critical role in protecting the body from toxins, pathogens, and other harmful substances.
-
Boost Immune Health: The gut is closely linked to the immune system, with up to 70% of immune cells residing in the GI tract. A healthy microbiome supports immune responses and can help reduce susceptibility to infections.
Usage Recommendations
-
Suggested Use: Take one capsule daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Each capsule is guaranteed potent until its expiration date, and no refrigeration is required.
