{"product_id":"probiotic-225-by-ortho-molecular","title":"Probiotic 225, 15 Packets, by Ortho Molecular","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GI tract is a finely balanced environment where roughly 500 different strains of bacteria compete for space and nutrients. When there is a healthy balance (eubiosis), few symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when an overabundance of potentially harmful organisms prevail. The natural microflora balance can become disrupted by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, or poor dietary intake. Probiotics have been extensively studied and are characterized as having broad GI and immune benefits, including (1) increasing the population of healthy bacteria following microflora imbalance; (2) supporting healthy bowel function; (3) increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy to the cells of the intestinal lining; (4) strengthening the gut-immune barrier by promoting a healthy gut mucosa; (5) aiding in the digestion of difficult-to-breakdown compounds like lactose and casein; and (6) enhancing detoxification of harmful compounds. Because probiotics are live organisms, there are many challenges associated with manufacturing and distributing probiotic supplements. For a probiotic to be effective, it must be shelf-stable through the expiration date and precisely delivered to the intestinal tract, where it can have maximum benefit. The microorganisms in Probiotic 225 are protected, sealed, and freeze dried away from moisture, heat, light and oxygen. This allows the bacteria to remain dormant until they are exposed to moisture in the GI tract.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix 1 packet (3 grams) into 8 oz of a cold beverage of your choice or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing Size: 1 Packet (3 grams)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServings Per Container: 15\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmount Per Serving:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalories 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Carbohydrate 2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Dietary Fiber 2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSodium 25 mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary Blend 1.3 g (225 billion CFU)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-06)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Bifidobacterium lactis (BI-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Lactobacillus casei (Lc-11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-Lactobacillus salivarius (Ls-33)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"productDetailTextSection\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larch arabinogalactin (FiberAid™) and silicon dioxide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp class=\"productDetailTextSection\"\u003eIf you are pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, taking any medications, planning a medical procedure or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"productDetailTextSection\"\u003eAs with all dietary supplement, some individuals may not tolerate or may be allergic to the ingredients used.
