iFlora™ Multi-Probiotic Formula
Support For The Digestive Tract
Every day, the good, natural flora in your body is killed off by stress, junk food, medications, chlorinated water, and a toxic environment. iFlora Multi-Probiotic Formula contains 16 strains** that supplement natural flora colonies to promote digestive and immune health.*
Many probiotic strains are needed to support good health. You take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement every day because your body needs all its vitamins and minerals. You take a daily multi-probiotic supplement for the same reason – your body needs more than just a few strains to stay healthy.
**Per capsule at time of manufacture. |

Probiotic History
The word probiotics comes from the Greek language meaning “for life”. They are defined as live microorganisms that benefit the host by improving the balance of the intestinal microflora. Their use has been documented as far back as 6,000 years ago.
“Elie Metchnikoff, the father of modern immunology, spoke highly about the possible health benefits of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus in his writings at the turn of the last century.
He wrote in his book, The Prolongation of Life, that consumption of live bacteria in the form of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus…was beneficial for gastrointestinal health, as well as for health in general and longevity.” (1)
It has only been in the last 20 years that conventional medicine has began to scientifically study these friendly bacteria through the use of probiotic supplements.
iFlora™ and Women’s Health
iFlora can also help with women’s issues such as vaginal itching, intestinal upset, mood swings, bloating, and other indicators related to probiotic insufficiency.
“Recently, Lactobacillus acidophilus…inhibited bacterial vaginosis-associated bacterial species in vitro. The researchers concluded that these probiotics might be useful for vaginal recolonization in women with recurrent bacterial vaginosis.” (2)
“Intestinal yeast overgrowth can increase estrogen levels by producing a toxin that mimics estrogenic effects…A healthy digestive tract easily removes excess estrogen from the body, thereby helping hormone levels return to a healthy balance.” (3)
Increased estrogen levels can cause a hormonal imbalance that John Lee, M.D. author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause, has named “estrogen dominance”.
Research
“During the past decade a quickly growing body of evidence suggests that these “good” bacteria can be used in the diet as medicinal therapy and have beneficial effects on intestinal dysfunctions…Even though the majority of published data involve the use of probiotics to treat and prevent gastrointestinal infections, the potential functions of these microorganisms may extend far beyond what was originally conceptualized. Research has shown that probiotics can significantly decrease both the colonization and infection of candida yeast.” (4)
“Preliminary studies show that some probiotics have the ability to bind and inactivate some carcinogens. They can directly inhibit the growth of some tumors and can inhibit bacteria that may convert pre-carcinogens into carcinogens.” (5)
Presently, probiotics are now being studied for their contribution to maintain health. According to the Harvard Medical School Division of Nutrition, “There is a long history of probiotics being used in various cultures for health promotion and therapeutic purposes.” (6)
“Probiotics have been used worldwide and the health benefits associated with them have been noted for some time…clinical research is quickly accumulating to support the anecdotal evidence of the benefits of probiotic therapy.“ (7)
Reminder
It is especially important to support your normal microflora with iFlora during and after medications, such as antibiotics that can disrupt the normal microflora balance. It takes about 3 months for the normal microflora to restore itself after antibiotic use.
