Proflora

Proflora
1 fl. oz.  - SRP$27.90

Unique Liquid Probiotic
Unique Supernatant Formula
Optimizes Growth of Beneficial Flora
Inhibits Unbalanced Flora
Heals Intestinal Mucosa
Excellent Support with the Bioclear® Program for Addressing Parasitic Infection

    Probiotics help improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, and promote intestinal balance. Proflora® provides the supernatent or medium which beneficial flora depend upon to thrive, along with synergistic nutritional and botanical support to optimize the growth of beneficial flora, inhibit unbalanced flora and soothe the intestinal mucosa.
    For a sore throat, intestinal upset, skin rash or earache, chances are the prescribed treatment will all be the same - antibiotics. Unfortunately, this shotgun approach to treatment may contribute to a host of health problems. Not only has it become more likely that an infection will not respond to the prescribed antibiotics due to increased resistance, but many pharmaceuticals actually eliminate the beneficial intestinal bacteria essential for proper assimilation of nutrients, thus affecting the overall health of the entire body. The resulting debilitated condition opens the door for the overgrowth of harmful micro-organisms such as candida albicans and the development of intestinal dysbiosis.

Proflora® is highly recommended during and after the use of antipathogenic supplements or antibiotics. It is a mild tasting liquid perfect for the whole family, and unlike many probiotic combinations, does not require refrigeration.
     Proflora® contains Lactobacillus Salivarius, a specially stabilized organism which flourishes in the small intestine and doubles its population every 20 minutes, helping to crowd out unfriendly organisms. Proflora® also contains L. Acidophilus, Bifido-bacteria complex and botanical cofactors including Aloe Vera which soothe intestinal mucosa. Laboratory testing has shown that like Biocidin®, Proflora® is uniquely efficient in enhancing intestinal health. Proflora® does not require refrigeration.

List of Ingredients: Distilled Water, L. Acidophilus fermentation, Bifidobacterium complex, Aloe Vera, Yucca, Lactobacillus salivarius, Chlorophyll, Peppermint, Ginger, Dandelion, Viola.

Suggested Usage: 10 - 20 drops 2 times per day in a small amount of water. Children may use 1/2 of the adult dosage. When using with Biocidin® or Olivirex®, take at least 2 hours apart.
