More than 50 million people have from slight to continuing digestive episodes. It has now become acceptable and even proving helpful to talk about bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux and other uncomfortable sensations.

Digestive health is an everyday consideration, especially as we grow older. The good news is that it is a "wellness issue" in most cases.

Over 400 distinct species of microorganisms inhabit the various regions of the human digestive tract, making up nearly four pounds of every individual's total body weight. This vast population of microorganisms far exceeds the number of tissue cells that make up the human body.

What is beginning to be understood is that the gut has the power to influence our health, well-being and resistance to disease far beyond our previous convictions. How do probiotics fit into the gut health picture? Many consumers are starting to understand that prevention is one of the keys.

The "Wellness Issue" is an understanding that we may be bombarded with unwanted bacteria every hour of our day. These bacteria co-exist and in some cases balance each other in our vast internal ecosystem. It is with this balance that probiotics have protected your gut for many years.

Brevi Bacillus Laterosporus BOD strain is a very potent probiotic that is encased in a spore. This encasement allows this probiotic to survive the stomach acids and form colonies that will help maintain a healthy colon. This probiotic was first introduced to the market in the late 1980's.

For years scientists have worked with bacteria, modifying them to perform certain tasks such as producing drugs, killing other bacteria and viruses, or stimulating specific functions in the body. The greatest benefit has come from a class of bacteria known as spore bearing bacteria, Brevi Bacillus Laterosporus BOD™.

This bacteria, enclosed in its own shell will survive the stomach acids to do its essential colonization of the colon, selectively eliminating disease causing organisms. The fact that Brevi Bacillus Laterosporus BOD™ kills certain pathogenic bacteria has been proven. Evidence also exists that it may actually help bolster the immune system. Studies indicate that, in response to the presence of Brevi Bacillus Laterosporus BOD™, the body produces and stores antibodies which can be used when needed to fight off pathogenic organisms. Preliminary research also indicates that this bacillus may also increase natural interferon, an immune booster that helps fight infections and inflammation.

Brevi Bacillus Laterosporus BOD™ taken daily is an excellent prevention against infections. Don't visit a foreign country without it.
