Good Health Begins In The Gut

Hippocrates himself said that "all disease begins in the gut". The intestinal tract forms a defensive barrier from what we ingest and it prevents harmful substances from reaching the bloodstream.

If this barrier is compromised and those harmful substances are able to get past, inflammation can occur.

Nearly 70 percent of your immune system is housed in your gut.

Probiotics are known as the “good bacteria” that can aid digestive health, helping to manage IBS, constipation, lactose intolerance, and other gastrointestinal digestive issues.

Probiotics as a whole are designed to help with a range of different
problems found within the body.

The key to getting maximum benefits of a probiotic supplement, is to make sure you are taking a product that has active CFU/g’s (Probiotics are measured in colony forming units (CFU), which indicate the number of viable cells) by the time it reaches your system.

Many probiotics do not actually properly absorb into your digestive tract due to the fact that they are broken down by enzymes in the stomach or intestines.

There are a couple ways to achieve this - one being refrigeration of your probiotics and the other and most common is to put enough active CFU/g’s in there that the desired amount will still be in the capsules once it passes through the stomach.

•    To ensure that OPTInutrients PROBIOTICS Complete Solutions provides the best quality in its supplement, the supplement uses the MAK Trek Bypass process by using a natural marine polysaccharides derived from brown seaweed.

•    MAK TREK By-pass Technology is a ground-breaking patented formula that improves absorption of probiotics within the body.

This patented technology results in a capsule that is not broken down by digestive enzymes in the stomach or intestines.

For maximum effectiveness, MAK Trek Bypass process creates a protective layer around the capsule keeping the probiotics usable while it is in the stomach.

Once the supplement is released from the stomach to the digestive tract, the capsule is able to break down and release the probiotic into the body providing significant safeguards that insure better survival of the living beneficial probioticbacteria.
