What is Flora Essentials?

Flora Essentials contains a high potency, full-spectrum blend of digestive enzymes, coupled with prebiotics to help improve the digestive process and better regulate immune function.

What Do Digestive Enzymes Do?

Digestive enzyme supplements help your body's own digestive enzymes complete the process of breaking down the food you eat into small absorbable components.

In many instances, bloating or abdominal discomfort after meals results from incomplete digestion of food, leaving behind fermentable by-products within the intestinal tract. Supplementation with Flora Essentials can often help to remedy this situation by completing the process of digestion, as some individuals (especially women and older individuals) do not secrete optimal amounts of digestive enzymes on their own.

What are Prebiotics?

Prebiotics serve as food for the friendly bacteria (e.g., lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus bacteria) within the large intestine. Flora Essentials contains the two most important prebiotics, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin. Establishing a healthier intestinal flora (more friendly gut bacteria than unfriendly gut bacteria) has been shown to help improve many cases of eczema, as well as help regulate immune function in certain autoimmune conditions.

What about complexion problems?

Improving the digestive process and ridding the large intestine of unfriendly bacteria, fungi, and yeast (as well as the endotoxins they secrete), is often helpful in improving skin complexion. Hence, Flora Essentials can be used as an adjunctive measure in certain complexion problems * Before taking Flora Essentials for simple post-meal bloating or abdominal discomfort problems have your physician rule out:

• Food allergies
• Lactose and Fructose intolerance
• Celiac disease
• Other intestinal, pelvic and ovarian problems

* Note that Flora Essentials can be used as an adjunctive supplement to help minimize the extent of food sensitivities and intolerances.
