Probio5 is Micro Encapsulated to ensure longivity, it also has enzymes to aid in digestion and ProBio5 has flora to re populate the intestinal tract all in one capsule.

A relief from typical Candida symptoms, which may include anxiety, recurring irritability, heartburn, indigestion, lethargy, extreme food and environmental allergies, acne, dry, flaky, itchy skin, jock itch, migraine headaches, recurring cystitis/vaginal infections, premenstrual tension, and menstrual problems.

You will be satisfied with the product.  Try it against the leading Powder product and see for yourself. Also be sure and read about Enterococcus Faecalis and why you should use caution. (At Bottom of Page)

Why put enzymes in ProBio 5? Yeast and fungal organisms are comprised of proteins, chitin, and cellulose structures. Proteins are broken down by protease enzymes, and cellulose is broken down by cellulase. The chitin structure can only be processed in the presence of the chitinase (chitosinase) enzyme. The enzyme profile in ProBio 5 and being micro encapsulated is designed to process away the protein based outer layer of yeast and fungal organisms which exposes the interior of these organisms to the cellulase and chitosinase in the ProBio 5 product. Enzymes are efficient and effective in the course of yeast and fungi destruction. In addition to enzymes, ProBio 5 contains very beneficial “friendly bacteria” that assist in supporting the body's need for a balance of probiotics (microflora) in the digestive tract.

Without sufficient probiotics, nutrient absorption is impaired, and an environment that is supportive of yeasts and fungi can result. The probiotics and enzymes are assisted by the addition of vitamin B6. B6 is required by enzymes involved in protein metabolism and is also essential for red blood cell metabolism [1,2]. In addition, vitamin B6 helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by the blood. A well oxygenated body is resistant to yeasts and fungi [3]. Grapefruit seed extract has been added to ProBio 5 since it has a therapeutic effectinternally against yeasts and fungi, by actually destroying the organisms. At the same time, grapefruit seed extract stimulates the immune system and works like an antibiotic drug without destroying the helpful bacteria that are normally present. The components of grapefruit seed extract contains bioflavonoids and vitamin E. These work as antioxidants and makes grapefruit seed extract one of the most powerful natural antioxidants available [4].

PROBIO 5 contains the following 5 probiotics:

Lactobacillus Sporogenes

L. acidophilus

L. Planterum

B. Longum

S. Boulardi

 
Lactobacillus-Any of various rod-shaped, nonmotile aerobic bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus that ferment lactic acid from sugars and are the causative agents in the souring of milk.

 
Acidophilus- especially of some bacteria; growing well in an acid medium.  Thriving in a relatively acidic environement (especially of plants requiring a pH well below 7).

 
L. Plantarum-, which is derived from sour dough and which is used to ferment sauerkraut and salami, has been demonstrated to improve the recovery of patients with enteric bacterial infections. This bacterium adheres to reinforce the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, thus preventing the attachment of the pathogenic bacteria to the intestinal wall.

B. Longum-One of the most important residents in the human gastrointestinal tract, B. longum keeps the digestive system running smoothly, blocks the growth of harmful bacteria, and boosts the immune system. The organism ferments sugars into lactic acid and has many health benefits for humans and is often the dominant bacterium found in humans. It is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, branched rod-shaped bacterium.

Researchers have identified a number of proteins that are specialised to help B. longum interact with the human host and persist against harmful bacteria and future reseach will now closely look at which genes allow B. longum to live in different environments such as dairy products, vegetables and the human gastrointestinal tract.

S. Boulardi- The intestinal microflora are important for maturation of the immune system, the development of normal intestinal morphology and in order to maintain a chronic and immunologically balanced inflammatory response. The microflora reinforce the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, helping in the prevention of the attachment of pathogenic microorganisms and the entry of allergens. Some members of the microflora may contribute to the body's requirements for certain vitamins, including biotin, pantothenic acid and vitamin B12.
