The Science of USANA Probiotic

Your gut is host to both beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria. These bacteria, also known as micro flora, may aid healthy digestion. Age, stress, illness, antibiotics and/or certain medicines, poor diet and hydration, lack of rest, and harmful environmental conditions may endanger the fine balance that is needed to support the normal intestinal flora. This imbalance can result in the reduction of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can lead to digestive concerns that mat not only be physically uncomfortable but also possible harmful to your health.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations defines probiotics as “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit in the host.” Probiotic dietary supplements replenish beneficial micro-flora, which can help restore a proper microbial equilibrium in the gut and aid good digestion. USANA Probiotic features a unique 50/50 mixture of Bifidobacterium BB-12 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG- two strains of probiotic bacteria that have been clinically proven to promote a natural balance of beneficial micro-flora in the gut.

Research suggests that probiotics, including Bifidobacterium BB-12 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, may help prevent harmful bacteria from taking hold in the intestinal tract and encourage the growth of healthy bacterial growth to help support proper nutrient absorption.

The USANA Difference

The beneficial effects of one strain of probiotics do not necessarily hold true for others, or even for different varieties of the same species or strain. A sufficient quantity of high-quality bacteria strains must survive stomach enzymes and enter the intestinal tract alive to be effective . Verified to supply 12 billion Colony Forming Units(CFU) of viable bacteria-a level shown to be effective in clinical studies-USANA Probiotic contains Bifidobacterium BB-12 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, two strains that are well documented to survive transit through the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach to colonize the intestines.

USANA Probiotic employs an advanced delivery system that guarantees the product will remain effective for at least 18 months when stored at room temperature. Refrigeration may prolong shelf life even further. It is also easy to use. Simply take USANA Probiotic alone or add one serving (one stick pack) of mildly sweet, powdered formulation to cold beverages or foods every one or two days for proven digestive health results.

Directions: Add the contents of one stick pack to your favorite cold food or beverage and consume immediately. Take one stick pack every 1–2 days, or as needed to promote digestive health.
