We are excited to present a new, more potent and effective FloraFood probiotic. AIM FloraFood® is a brand-new formula—packed with three powerful bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum) — to provide an improved balance of excellent intestinal flora. What’s more, this all-new AIM FloraFood® requires no refrigeration and is guaranteed to maintain full effectiveness throughout the shelf life of the product. Our unique and proprietary processing method assures that the bacteria will remain stable at room temperature—without refrigeration. And, each capsule maintains 1 billion good bacteria until the date of expiration. (Exposure to humidity, high heat and direct sunlight should be avoided.). Our previous L. salivarius and L. plantarum probiotic did not have the required longevity which means shipping and storage temperatures could affect its effectiveness without refrigeration. So we are excited about the new FloraFood probiotic blend which promises you better results .
Friendly bacteria benefits
• aid in the digestive process by helping
digest lactose (milk sugar) and protein.
• clean the intestinal tract, purify the
colon, and promote regular bowel
movements.
• create lactic acid, which balances intestinal pH.
• produce antibiotics and antifungals that prevent the
growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. In 1988, the
U.S. Surgeon General’s report noted that “Normal
microbial flora provide a passive mechanism to prevent
infection.”
• contribute to the destruction of molds, viruses, and
parasites.
• protect us from environmental toxins such as pesticides
and pollutants, reduce toxic waste at the cellular
level, and stimulate the repair mechanism of cells.
• increase the number of immune system cells thereby
enhancing immune response.
• manufacture vitamins B6, B12, K, folic acid, and
assorted amino acids.
• help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride
levels.
• break down and rebuild hormones.
Lactobacilli
Lactobacilli are one of the most important types of
friendly bacteria found in the digestive tract, making
mainly the small intestine home. These bacteria get
their name (lacto) because they are able to turn milk
sugar into lactic acid.
Lactobacilli are able to “balance” unfriendly bacteria
because when they produce lactic acid, they alter the
intestinal environment, making it unsuitable for
unfriendly bacteria. In other words, lactobacilli do not
destroy the unfriendly bacteria; they destroy their
home, forcing them to leave.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a specially stabilized type
of friendly bacteria that flourishes in the small intestine.
One benefit of L. acidophilus is that it inhibits
bacteria and microorganisms that produce disease in
the urinary tract, especially Candida albicans.ii
Another benefit is its ability to aid in developing natural
defenses against foreign intestinal bacteria and
viral infections, boosting the immune system.iii L. acidophilus
has also shown promise in the battle against
Helicobacter pyloriiv, the pathogen considered to be one
of the top two causes for peptic ulcers.
Other than the obvious health advantages, the
common use of antibiotics is often linked to gastrointestinal
side effects, and the Lactobacilli, like L. acidophilus,
are thought to offset these effects by
recolonizing the intestine during and after an antibiotics
course.
Bifidobacteria
Bifidobacteria are friendly bacteria, colonizing mainly
the large intestine, or colon. Bifidobacteria are considered
extremely important to the health of the gastrointestinal
tract. The bifidobacteria have been used to
address intestinal disorders, and boost the immune
system. These strains are also important for the production
of B vitamins.
Bifidobacteria may also reduce antibiotic-induced
fluctuations in intestinal bacteriavii and the GI distress
that can ensue.viii Antibiotics are particularly effective
at killing all kinds of bacteria, good and bad—often
leading to secondary infections.
Bifidobacterium bifidum is especially good at enhancing
the body’s immune response and inhibiting harmful
enzymes.ix Bifidobacterium longum has a high affinity for
intestinal colonizationx, improving the intestinal environment,
which leads to better regularity.
AIM FloraFood
is resilient at room temperature and higher and can be stored in a cool, dry,
dark place. However, we do recommend refrigeration. Avoid storing in extreme heat. Shelf
life is 3 years, sealed.
Diabetics using AIM FloraFood
should be monitored carefully as blood sugar levels may fluctuate
and insulin intake may need to be regulated.
As a mouthwash, open 1
capsule in warm water, swish around mouth for 30 seconds, and swallow.
For pets, open 1 capsule and sprinkle on food.
To limit digestive problems while traveling or camping, take 2
to 3 capsules per day.
Anyone concerned about digestive health should consider using
AIM FloraFood. You should definitely
take it if you are or have recently undergone an antibiotics course, as antibiotics
destroy friendly bacteria. AIM FloraFood
should also be used by those taking AIM
EarthWise, as
AIM EarthWise may destroy intestinal flora.
Yes, they can. Both children and pregnant women should take the usual
adult serving of one to two capsules per day.
It is safe for everyone; however, diabetics using it should be
monitored carefully as blood sugar levels may fluctuate and insulin intake may need to be
regulated.
AIM FloraFood
is completely safe.
However, some users may experience loose bowels for three to seven days and slight gas
pressure or cramping for a few days. The gas is due to the normalization of intestinal pH.
Users may also notice a decreased stool volume due to the increased digestive capacity of
the small intestine. This should not be considered constipation and it should normalize
within three to five days.
The two types of lactobacilli are derived from specially cultured
lactobacilli, which in turn are derived from sorghum molasses. The FOS are derived from a
proprietary blend of rice bran solubles and Jersusalem artichoke powder.
Yes, although not at the same time. AIM FloraFood
should be taken on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before or two hours
after a meal. AIM PrepZymes should be taken just
before or during a meal.
