"The nutrition community encourages people to get their nutrients from a well-balanced diet for overall health but we understand the challenges people face trying to juggle their lifestyle demands and good nutrition," said Neville. "With cooler months around the corner, people experience drier air and are in closer contact with others who may be sick or carrying germs. We gravitate indoors, so there is an added threat to overall health and even greater need for putting up your best defense through digestive balance. I encourage people to add a probiotic dietary supplement like Florastor® to their diet to give their strongest one-two punch to maintaining digestive health. 70 to 80% of the body's immune cells reside in your gut, providing a potentially powerful influence on your immune system."
Probiotic supplements are grouped into two categories: yeast and bacteria, which interact with the body differently. Florastor® is a natural yeast-based probiotic supplement that is vegetarian and gluten-free and can be easily incorporated in to any daily diet. Each capsule contains 250mg of Saccharomyces boulardii lyo, a friendly-yeast found naturally on the skins of tropical fruits, lychees and mangosteens. Yeast-based probiotic supplements like Florastor® have a unique cellular advantage over bacterial probiotics making them better able to withstand the harsh environment of the stomach, allowing them to reach the gut in an active state, and can also be taken simultaneously with antibiotics to help maintain internal balance while the body is recovering from infection. Additionally, a yeast-based probiotic supplement like Florastor® better stimulates the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), the body's primary antibody for defending against infection.
"I also recommend Florastor® because of the clear advantage it has over bacterial-based probiotic dietary supplements and antibiotic use," said Neville. "A probiotic dietary supplement, along with a healthy diet that includes foods like fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, can help play a positive role in a healthy immune system."
