• FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable is the Perfect Complement To Your Probiotic Supplement
• These Delicious Strawberry-Flavored Chewables Provide The Food Sources Your Beneficial Gut Bacteria Need To Thrive
  Vegetarian • Gluten-Free • Non-GMO

Each strawberry-flavored tablet of FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable contains a scientifically validated dose of PreticX™ prebiotic, which contains 70% xylooligosaccharides to optimize growth potential of beneficial bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract.

The benefits of Bifidobacteria
These tiny organisms pack a powerful punch for better health. They benefit not only our digestive tracts but our whole body. And they produce specialized compounds associated with healthy metabolism and even longevity.
Bifidobacteria metabolize important types of dietary carbohydrates. They also provide essential fuel to cells of the digestive tract and more. But bifidobacteria decrease in number as we age.

One popular way to support bifidobacteria is to supplement with probiotics. But it is also important to make sure that these probiotics have an adequate prebiotic food source.

Not all prebiotics are the same
“Overdoing” prebiotics can be too much of a good thing. Most commercial prebiotics require large doses to provide the optimal conditions for GI colonization. Unfortunately, this can lead to unpleasant bloating, flatulence and general GI discomfort.

FLORASSIST® Prebiotic Chewable is formulated with a scientifically validated, smaller dose of PreticX™ prebiotic, which contains 70% xylooligosaccharides. These xylooligosaccharides are ideal prebiotics because they are capable of optimizing the growth potential of gut bifidobacteria, and can do so in relatively low doses.
The less actual prebiotic material you have to take, the less chance of gastrointestinal upset. This highly purified prebiotic is derived from non-GMO corn cob.

• What is a prebiotic? – Most of us have heard of PRO-biotics, which are beneficial bacteria in your gut. A PRE-biotic supplement supports the growth of these probiotics. Taking both together is a great way to support a healthy microbiome.

• Prebiotic support without bloating – Many commercial prebiotics come in large doses, which can lead to bloating and occasional GI discomfort. But our prebiotic's special ingredients support healthy bifidobacteria using relatively low doses.

• Tasty strawberry chewable – Not only are FLORASSIST Prebiotic Chewables a great way to cultivate a healthy microbiome and optimal digestive health, they are also delicious!

• Ingredients matter - Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the quality and purity your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.

• Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are in reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

A Probiotics Glossary: Common Terms & What They Mean
Probiotics overcame massive skepticism—and ignorance—to become the wildly popular microbial cocktails they are today. Probiotics play a substantial role in regulating our overall health, particularly our digestive and immune systems. And exciting new research continues to turn up remarkable links between the microbiome and the brain. According to the New York Times, “scientists are finding evidence that microbiome may play a role not just in Alzheimer’s disease, but Parkinson’s disease, depression, schizophrenia, autism and other conditions.”

Still, probiotics remain something of an alien supplement, with their impossible-to-pronounce  strains, ginormous numbers of CFUs and other unfamiliar terms. We thought it would be helpful to break down all the gobbledygook into easy to understand concepts. You wondered, we “micro”-splained:

Here’s our primer of eight key probiotic terms and what they mean.

Probiotics definition list
1. Microbiome
The totality of the collective of genomes that flourish in our gut. There are actually many communities of distinct bacteria that protect us against germs, break down food to release energy and produce vitamins.

2. Microflora
Similar to the microbiome but on a smaller scale, intestinal microflora refers to the bacteria and other organisms that live inside the intestines. Other microflora habitats include the skin and genitals.

3. CFU or CFUs
CFUs are an acronym for Colony Forming Units, the scientific term for “number of organisms” (i.e., how many microbes are in the colony of microbes in the product, or in your intestine). For probiotics to be considered viable, the CFUs should contain quantities in the billions. The amount of CFUs in a probiotic can play a big part in the probiotic’s efficacy.

4. Fermentation
Fermentation uses microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, to break down food into a simpler form, such as grapes into wine, milk into yogurt, cabbage into sauerkraut. Fermentation adds beneficial bacteria to your diet, preserves food and enhances its digestibility.

5. Friendly Bacteria & Yeast
Live bacteria and yeasts are “friendly” because they benefit the body, specifically the digestive system, by helping digest food and destroy disease-causing microorganisms.

According to a recent study, health benefits have been associated with these specific strains: Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, Bacillus, Escherichia coli. 

6. Prebiotic
A prebiotic is a natural nutrient that allows probiotics to thrive. Excellent sources of dietary fiber, some prebiotics have also been shown to enhance the absorption of important minerals like calcium.†

7. Inulin
Inulin is perhaps the best-known prebiotic. It occurs naturally in thousands of edible plants, including asparagus, artichokes, bananas, barley, chicory, garlic, rye and wheat.

8. Synbiotic
A synbiotic blends both probiotics and prebiotics. It makes sense to ensure your supplement contains both pro- and prebiotics, because the two work in tandem to deliver a robust supply of gut-friendly bacteria.
