Many of us have been programmed to believe that “more is better”, yet that is not always the case. In fact, oftentimes, less is indeed more. When it comes to probiotics, science has shown that it is more about the potency of the strains; particularly the targeted strains that have been developed for specific conditions and applications. Potency, consistency and targeting are three of the attributes that led PURICA to partner with Kaneka, one of the global leaders in probiotics and holder of an extensive bank of over 1,000 clinical probiotic strains of human origin and fermented food samples which have not been adversely affected by western lifestyle, diet or medicine.
These proprietary strains generate multiple mechanisms of action in the human body which promote optimal well-being and aid in the prevention and treatment of multiple conditions. The line-up of PURICA Probiotic formulations includes Cardio, Intensive GI, Mature Immune Defense and Digest.
The specific health benefits of PURICA Probiotic
PURICA Probiotic Mature Immune Defense promotes a favourable gut flora and supports immune function, protecting against or reducing the oxidative damage and effects caused by free radicals.
PURICA Probiotic Cardio blend promotes heart function and overall cardiovascular health. By producing BSH enzyme – which degrades bile salts — It improves the metabolism of cholesterol and hinders its absorption in the blood. It supports healthy Total Cholesterol LDL, HDL levels and Triglyceride levels already in the normal range and reduces oxidized LDL Cholesterol related to blood vein health.
PURICA Probiotic Digest is a symbiotic formulation supporting digestive function and overall gastrointestinal health. By providing a healthy digestive tract flora, it counters antibiotic-associated diarrhea and enhancing immune function. It contains homofermentative metabolism strains that do not produce gas. This formulation recovers the positive microbiota (Bifidobacterium and Lactic Acid) and enhances GI epithelial function.
PURICA Probiotic Intensive GI promotes gut health in patients with IBS. It helps to maintain a healthy gut, diversity of the microbiome and improves gut-related anxiety and discomfort (in six weeks). It reduces occasional gas and bloating, supports gut homeostasis, balance and regularity and helps improve quality of life in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Whichever probiotic formulation used to maintain the balance of healthy flora, think of these tiny little bacterial friends as our own personal army of health care workers. They’re literally 100 trillion of our closest friends and – given the role that they play in strengthening the barrier immunity created by our mucosal moat — we depend on them more than we realize.
