Flora Syntropy
Flora Syntropy may help re-establishes a healthy intestinal terrain, maintain appropriate bowel transit time, and offer assistance in cases of gastrointestinal distress. It is an excellent addition to any healing strategy, especially constipation and diarrhea, dysbiosis, IBS, infection, or during and following antibiotic treatment.*
Flora Syntropy is a right-spinning probiotic that is milk and allergy-free. Friendly and beneficial gut bacteria play a variety of crucial roles in the body. In addition to aiding digestion and elimination, the microbiome or intestinal bacteria are essential for absorbing certain nutrients, producing B vitamins and vitamin K, controlling yeast and bacterial overgrowth, and assisting in the immune response.
Flora Syntropy’s strain of Lactobacillus sporogenes, also known as Bacillus coagulans (strain ATCC 7050), is a spore-forming, non-pathogenic bacteria naturally found in the human gastrointestinal and vaginal tract.
Bacillus coagulans is resistant to heat, acid, bile, and antibiotics. The spores can pass through the stomach's acidic environment and enter the small intestine unharmed. Once there, the bacteria can proliferate rapidly, supporting colonizing the small intestine. It is estimated that germination of Bacillus coagulans takes place four hours after ingestion.
The lactic acid and bacteriocidins produced by Bacillus coagulans serve to increase the population of beneficial bacteria while making the environment inhospitable for infectious or pathogenic organisms.
The ability to bypass stomach acid and bile and rapid colonization and proliferation rate may make Bacillus coagulans more effective at controlling infectious organisms in the intestines than other probiotic strains.
Bacillus coagulans can bind cholesterol in the gut, removing it from the body. Clinical studies found evidence that supplementation with Bacillus coagulans may decrease total serum cholesterol levels, with a slight increase in HDL levels.
