Culturelle
by CAG Functional Foods Did you know . . . that billions of probiotic (health-promoting) "good" bacteria, also called "flora", populate your intestinal tract? Yes, there is such a thing as good bacteria . . . These friendly bacteria form a protective barrier to keep "bad" bacteria out, maintaining a healthy intestinal tract. If you are . . . under stress, taking antibiotics, travelling or simply want to promote your health, taking Culturelle daily will maintain the health-promoting "good" bacteria in you intestinal tract. This is important because the intestines are the largest immune organ in the body and promoting their health strengthens your body's overall natural defenses. Lactobacillus GG, the active culture in Culturelle, is an extensively studied strain of friendly intestinal bacteria, discovered and patented by leading researchers Drs. Gorbach and Goldin at Tufts University in Boston. Clinical studies at major universities in the U.S. and Europe have documented Lactobacillus GG's health-promoting benefits. One capsule contains: Inulin (chicory root extract) 245 mg, Lactobacillus GG 30 billion cells, Casein*** less than .01 mg, Whey*** less than .01 mg, Vegetarian Capsule (Hypromellose) 75 mg. Suggested use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule per day to feel your best. May be taken with antiobiotics: Take 1 capsule twice daily throughout antibiotic therapy and for 1 week following to maintain "healthy" bacteria. For traveling: Take 1 capsule twice daily throughout trip. Best if started 2-3 days prior to travel. Safe and effective for infants and children: Give 1 capsule per day. Serving Suggestion: Open capsule and stir contents into cool drink or mix into baby food or applesauce.
