Flora Five

Flora Five—Patented Triple Layer Protection

Flora Five was designed to provide the most effective delivery of friendly bacteria ("probiotics") to the intestinal tract by utilizing a patented triple-layer encapsulation process. This process ensures that the active probiotics in Flora Five survive the stomach acid and are delivered to the intestines for overall health.

How active digestive enzymes work on digested food probiotics produce certain acids that help lower the pH level of the large intestine. This helps maintain a slightly acidic environment and may contribute to inhibiting the growth of unfriendly bacteria in the colon. Emotional stress, antibiotic therapy, disease, certain foods, and the aging process deplete our body's population of friendly bacteria. Flora Five's friendly bacteria help combat the unfriendly bacteria and maintain adequate levels of intestinal flora.
Probiotic Benefits

While studies have recently indicated that probiotics may have an influence on overall health, direct benefits of healthy intestinal flora may include:

• Maintaining healthy blood sugar level
• Enhancing vitamin, calcium and mineral absorption
• Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels within normal range
• Alleviating bloating, gas and fullness
• Relieving occasional constipation
• Aiding in the digestive process
• Reducing symptoms associated with food allergies
• Increasing production of short chain fatty acids essential in elimination of waste from the body

The active probiotics chosen are as important as the delivery system when it comes to making sure that the product delivers optimum results.

How active digestive enzymes work on digested food our extensive research has determined the probiotics listed below to be among the most beneficial and readily utilized in the intestinal tract.

• B. Longum
• L. Acidophilus
• L. Rhamnosis
• L. Casei
• B. Lactis

Directions:

Adults and children 3 years and older, take 1 pearl daily with or without food. DO NOT CHEW OR CRUSH.

17 Active Digestive Enzyme Ingredients May Help Aid in Digestion

• Lactase: Breaks down lactose in milk to make it possible for people with lactose intolerance to consume dairy without digestive problems.
• Lipase: A digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down lipids (fats), in particular triglycerides, which are fatty substances in the body that come from fat in the diet.
• Protease (I & II): The active enzymes needed to digest protein.
• Amylase (Alpha & Beta): The active enzymes that break down starch.
• Maltase: Breaks down malt sugar.
• Invertase: Utilizes sucrose as a nutrient.
• Cellulase: Responsible for cycling of nutrients and used to cleave the glycosidic linkage in cellulose.
• Glucanase: Used to break down carbohydrates.
• Xylanase: Breaks down carbohydrates into Xylose, one of eight sugars that are essential for human nutrition.
• Pectinase: Breaks down sugar.
• Phytase: An enzyme that breaks down indigestible grains and oil seeds; thus releasing digestible phosphorus and calcium.
• Hemicellulase: Breaks down sugar.
• Lactobacillus: Converts lactose and other sugars into beneficial lactic acid.
• Biffidum: Essential for support of the immune system and proper function in the intestinal tract.
• Longum: A bacterium that keeps the digestive system running smoothly, blocks the growth of harmful bacteria, and boosts the immune system.
