What Is A Probiotic?
must be alive when administered, survive the gastric
environment, have undergone controlled evaluation to
document health benefits in the target host, be a taxonomically
defined microbe or combination of microbes (genus, species,
and strain level). And be safe for its intended use.

 Sensitive to their environment
 Influenced (good/bad) by:
 Ingredients
 Manufacturing process
 Other organisms
 Packaging
 Storage
 Behave differently from product to product
 Potential to do great things but.no guaranties.
Probiotics Are Living Organisms

5
 Survive manufacturing process
 Get along with others
 Survive storage (refrigeration, room temperature)
 Resist stomach acid
 Resist bile salts
 Attach to epithelial cells (intestinal wall)
 Colonise the intestine (multiply)
 Deliver health benefits

Probiotics Are
The Foundation Of
A Healthy Lifestyle

 We dont live on farms anymore
 Food is sterilized (for better or worse)
 We have processed food
 Drinking Alcohol has become a cultural norm
 Medications aka antibiotics
 We get old!
Everyday, Young or Old, Healthy or Not
Things That Affect Us

 Contributes to good digestive health
 Supports a strong immune system
 Promotes a balanced intestinal flora
 Primary prevention of C. difficile, MRSA
 Prevention of gestational diabetes
 May help prevent obesity, depression & anxiety
 May help prevent chronic fatigue syndrome
 Improves efficacy of cancer drugs
Emerging Health Benefits

Maintenance & prevention in just 村 a bottle a day!
Thats less than a dollar a day!
First thing in the morning
Food optional
Make it taste the way you like

Probiotic Myths & Facts
True FalseOr

11
Clinical effects of probiotics in treatment or prevention
depend on the specific bacteria,
which should be defined not only by its genus and species,
but also at the strain level1
All probiotic bacteria is the same.

FACT:FACT:

12
Most recent studies clearly described the tested probiotics,
but did not describe the food matrix composition or general
processing
This can interfere with the efficacy of the probiotic in terms of
viability, stability, and the quantity of active biocompounds
that are responsible for the studied health effect 2
Studying Just Bacteria Is Sufficient

There is no standardised number of probiotic bacteria to
ensure a clinical effect.
The effective quantity, for a given benefit and a given strain is
the quantity which has demonstrated an effect.
More Is Better

Bacteria strains are inherently competitive by nature.
Unless there are extensive studies of them and a synergistic cultivation
they will counteract each other.
More Strains Are Better

 Was it published by a reputable journal?
 Was it peer reviewed?
 Was the study done on the finished product? (after processing)
 Is there more than one scientist supporting the findings?
 Are the results reproducable?

How To Choose
An Efficacious Probiotic
? ?
?
18
19
Not All Probiotics Are The Same
Saying probiotic is similar to saying medication
Its a generic term, it describes a family of products.
19
20
Whats The Difference?
Bio-K+ and products enriched with probiotic are very different
Milk is enriched with vitamin D. That doesnt make milk vitamin D.
Yogurt is enriched with probiotic.
Eating 50 liters of probiotic enriched yogurt would be necessary to intake an equivalent amount of probiotic.
20
21
What To Look For?
When you want apple pie, you buy apple pie.
If you need a probiotic dont buy a product that has
probiotics sprinkled in. Don`t settle for pretenders.
High bacteria count
Quality of strains
Potency guaranteed at consumption
Properly characterized high quality
A synergistic combination of bacteria
Protective environment
Research done on finished products
Proven measurable results
