Renew Life creates top-selling Ultimate Flora probiotics, Fibre Smart, Flora Bear and Flora Baby, to bring the best in natural digestive health supplements. Renew Life provides quality intestinal and gut health probiotics with chewable formats for kids; to keep the whole families digestive health in check.
The term "probiotic" means supporting life. Probiotics are friendly and beneficial bacteria. Although there are hundreds of different strains of bacteria that live in the digestive tract, two of the most prevalent types of beneficial bacteria are lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum. These bacteria (as well as others) are normal inhabitants of the large and small intestines.
Recent research on probiotics suggests that these friendly bacteria improve gastrointestinal functions, respiratory and allergy response, and may counter the negative effects of antibiotic use.* Probiotics support our immune systems, balance intestinal environments and inhibit the growth of unfriendly organisms.* These beneficial bacteria: 1) produce vitamins, 2) aid in absorption of nutrients, and 3) crowd out unfriendly organisms.
Most commercial probiotic products are made up of multiple species of Lactobacilli or Bifidobacteria. Some of the Lactobacilli species are resident (L. acidophilus) and others are transient bacteria (L. casei). Both resident and transient species are beneficial. Resident species live naturally in the digestive tract. Transient species provide benefits while they pass through the digestive system. One strategy is to use a product that contains multiple resident strains of (L. acidophilus or B. bifidum) bacteria and to use specific, well-tested transient strains (L. casei) to provide additional benefits.
What is BIO-tract Technology?
FloraSMART utilizes BIO-tract delivery technology which is engineered to deliver probiotics to their optimal locations. BIO-tract is a patent-pending controlled delivery technology developed specifically for beneficial microorganisms. BIO-tract is the first true oral controlled release technology that utilizes recognized and proven principles from the pharmaceutical industry to preserve, protect, and deliver its payload from the store shelf, through the harsh environment of the stomach, and into the intestines where they can be utilized. After swallowing the tablet, a protective gel layer surrounds the tablet and effectively isolates the bacteria to reduce any harmful interaction with the acidic environment in the stomach. Once passing through the stomach, it releases the organisms in a controlled fashion over time, delivering the living bacteria to the small intestine so they may populate the intestinal tract.
Probiotics are live microorganisms and, as such, present challenges in maintaining quality and viability throughout different points of manufacture and distribution. These bacteria are susceptible to heat, moisture and air. Individually sealing each FloraSMART tablet helps protect the probiotics from these shipping and storage issues. Beyond manufacturing and shelf stability, the next biggest challenge is to get the probiotics through the stomach acid. The acids of the stomach can kill the beneficial bacteria. It is critical that the bacteria be delivered live into the intestinal tract. FloraSMART accomplishes this with BIO-tract technology.
Maintaining Intestinal Health
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to intestinal disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the re-absorption of processed toxins and greater chance of microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily. One can eat the most nutritious food but if the intestinal membrane is not in good working order the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients.
Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body. Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called probiotics, are an essential part of digestion. They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes. Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal. Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.
Food that support intestinal health are vegetarian protein, raw vegetables and fruits, whole grains, brown rice, potatoes, carrots, turnips, soy products and green drinks. Consume fermented products (if you have healthy digestion) like yogurt, kefir, quark, buttermilk and natural cheeses to replenish the friendly bacteria that assist with nutrient digestion. Broil or bake fish and meats instead of frying. Steam vegetables lightly. Limit or avoid: sugar, refined foods, alcohol, nicotine, coffee and other intestinal irritants.
