Our digestive system is home to trillions of bacteria; and ensuring the harmony of this system is of huge importance to our health. When our gut microflora are out of balance we feel the effects in numerous ways – including diminished energy, dull skin, and sluggish digestion. Equally numerous are the factors that can disturb our gut microflora, such as a diet that is too high in sugar or acidic foods, alcohol, illness, antibiotics and stress.
Taking probiotics is a simple way to help maintain a balanced microflora and a healthy gut. Ross J Barr’s E505 Probiotic + Prebiotic consists of 8 friendly bacteria, along with a beneficial prebiotic. The formula is offered as a powder rather than a capsule. During the careful manufacturing process, the bacteria are dehydrated at their most active growth phase. Re- hydrating in a glass of water buffers them from the stomach acid & helps them return to their most active phase, for optimum efficacy.
The powder is easy to use – it just needs to be dissolved in lukewarm water and has an activation time of approximately one minute. Even better, the formulation has a lovely vanilla taste.
