Probiotic Advanced Essentials

Probiotic ADVANCED Essentials features a clinically selected cast of probiotic organisms specifically designed to support microflora balance, enhance gut immunity, and optimize nutrient absorption. Utilizing advanced BioShield® technology, these live organisms are protected against harsh stomach acid to guarantee targeted delivery directly to the intestinal tract.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

• Enhances Gut Immunity: Increases Secretory IgA (sIgA) to bolster the gut's first line of defense.
• Protects Against Major Gut Disruptions: Specially designed to shield your digestive tract during antibiotic use, helping to prevent occasional diarrhea. It actively outcompetes aggressive bad bacteria (like C. diff) and provides soothing daily comfort for common issues like gas, bloating, and irregular bowel habits linked to IBS.
• Maintains Gastrointestinal Balance: Promotes healthy gut microflora and crowds out opportunistic bacteria.
• Supports Bowel Regularity: Aids in daily digestive comfort and consistency.
• Optimizes Nutrient Absorption: Enhances the digestion and bioavailability of critical micronutrients.

Suggested Use: Take one (1) capsule daily or as recommended by your healthcare professional. Guaranteed potency at expiration. No refrigeration required.

Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits

• Saccharomyces boulardii: A heavily researched probiotic yeast that directly boosts Secretory IgA (sIgA) levels to bind and clear harmful bacteria.

• Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14): Produces lactic acid to create an inhospitable environment for invading microbes while enhancing mineral absorption (calcium, magnesium, copper).

• Lactobacillus paracasei (Lpc-37): Reinforces intestinal defense mechanisms and supports critical T-helper cell production.

• Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04): Resides predominantly in the colon; clinically shown to reduce intestinal permeability and support a balanced immune response.

• Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115): Commonly found in fermented foods; produces specific proteins (bacteriocins) that actively inhibit pathogen growth.

• Lactobacillus rhamnosus (GG): Possesses exceptional survivability against acid and bile; documented to positively influence over 1,700 immune and inflammatory gene signals.

• Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-02): Outcompetes harmful microbes to maintain an optimal, balanced microflora environment.
  

Product Upgrade FAQ

Why did the formula change from the original Probiotic Essentials?

Advancements in the science of gut health has changed how we think about probiotics. Rather than repopulating the gut with healthy bacteria in the probiotic, research has shown they work as temporary helpers getting the gut back on track as it should be naturally. This allowed us to move from a broad, generic formula to a highly targeted, therapeutic-grade product. We've eliminated the less effective strains, and focused exclusively on the most resilient, clinically documented strains delivered at their optimal, therapeutic doses.

Where can I hear the full breakdown of the science behind this change?

We recorded an in-depth episode on the Generation Health podcast breaking down the clinical studies, the introduction of gut-immunity strains, and the new technology. Watch the full episode here.

Why does this formula have 7 strains instead of the original 11?

In probiotic therapy, targeted precision matters more than a high strain count. The 7 specific strains in the Advanced formula were selected for their ability to work synergistically, withstand stomach acid, and adhere to the intestinal wall. In particular, we've added Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast strain with an outstanding research body of evidence for conditions like IBS, C-diff, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

What is BioShield® Technology and why is it important?

Probiotics are useless if they die in your stomach acid. BioShield® is an innovative encapsulation process that keeps the organisms safely dormant and protected from heat, moisture, and acid. They are only released once they safely reach the alkaline environment of your intestinal tract, ensuring maximum biological impact.
