More About the Product
OptiFlora contains probiotic species, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, Rooibos extract and fructo-oligosaccharides (prebiotic), for the good bacteria in the formula to feed off, promoting rapid multiplication of healthy flora and enzymes.
Optimum bowel health’s best friends are the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species (the most common and also most beneficial) of probiotics.
Probiotics are live microorganisms/bacteria that are similar to natural microorganisms found in your digestive tract. They are sometimes called “friendly bacteria” or “good bacteria”.
Supplementing these natural bacteria is often necessary when there is an imbalance in the digestive system’s natural bacteria and is especially important after you have taken antibiotics because it helps to offset some of the negative effects that a course of antibiotics has.
Broad-spectrum antibiotics kills both good and bad bacteria. Loosing friendly bacteria makes one more susceptible to diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal upsets. Probiotics stimulate the activity and growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system and can help to suppress the growth of “bad bacteria”.
Probiotics in OptiFlora is the nucleus of your supplementation program, followed closely by three critical supplements that form the baseline nutrition of Forever Healthy to support, improve and maintain optimum health: a multivitamin (OptiVite), omega 3 essential oils (OptiMega) and necessary minerals calcium and magnesium (OptiCalMag).
