Re: good probiotic & glutathene

[Guest guest]

Hi Kay,

I do not like most of the health food store versions but I buy them.

Once I bought a bifido version (no lacto just several strains of bifido) that

was taken sub-lingually. Man, that was effective. One package (30 days) took

hold and the colony lasted several months. I never bought it again though.

I looked it up and it is now called Bifi-15. It is made by Eden Foods. 30

sublingual packets. I think I will order again. I kept it in the fridge but it

says you don't have to. Perfect for my college-aged son.

No financial interest in this product.

My next favorite was a Lacto liquid by Continental but I think the company went

out of business. It was $6 for a 30 day bottle and I felt it was effective.

Like you, constipation is an understatement.

Hello:

I haven't started taking it yet, but recently ordered VSL#3 which I found out

about by reading various scientific studies on gut issues; since this product

was used by researchers to positive results, I figured it worth trying.  I paid

$52 for 60 capsules (it comes in two other forms which are more expensive).

 The shipment arrived in a timely fashion, very well packed in a tiny little

cooler as the product must be kept refrigerated.  

I am pasting some further info from the website (vsl3.com) which describes the

product, including the fact that it contains eight strains.

What Makes VSL#3® Special?

VSL#3® is unlike any other product of its kind:

Supported by Scientific Data

VSL#3® is supported by “Level One†scientific evidence, meaning the data

must be from a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that is published in top

peer-reviewed journals. VSL#3® is one of the few probiotic preparations with

Level One scientific data. All studies cited to support VSL#3® were conducted

with the specialized VSL#3® preparation.

450 Billion Bacteria

VSL#3® has the highest available concentration of beneficial bacteria with 450

billion live bacteria per packet. The human gut has thousands of billions of

resident bacteria. In order to modulate the composition of this gut flora in a

positive way, an extremely large amount of probiotic bacteria is necessary.

VSL#3® is the only probiotic preparation that delivers enough bacteria to

beneficially affect the gut flora in patients with serious intestinal disorders.

Strains of Bacteria

Scientific evidence has proven that not all strains of probiotic bacteria are

the same. VSL#3® has eight strains of bacteria in specific concentrations that

have been chosen to produce an optimal intestinal flora.

Guaranteed Live Bacteria

VSL#3® is stored and shipped cold to ensure that the beneficial bacteria remain

alive and viable. When VSL#3® is ordered directly from our call center or

website, it is mailed in insulated coolers with ice packs. In pharmacies,

VSL#3® is stored behind the counter in the pharmacist’s refrigerator.

Medical Food Status

A medical food is a specialized preparation that is prescribed by a physician

for the dietary management of a disease or health condition. Medical foods are

intended to be used under the supervision of a physician. VSL#3® is a medical

food intended for the dietary management of ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel

syndrome or an ileal pouch anastomosis. Click here for more information on the

medical food status of VSL#3®.

Recognized by the American College of Gastroenterology

VSL#3® is the only probiotic recognized by the American College of

Gastroenterology Practice Parameter Committee as an effective tool for the

management of pouchitis. 

I've made a note of Protec (as well as Glutathene) as well as Bifi-15 and thank

you,

Gloria

Hi Marti,

 

I just searched for Bifi-15, Eden Foods, and couldn't find it.  Could you give

me a website where I can order some to try please...Thanks.  Kay
