Benefits

It is estimated that more than a hundred trillion microorganisms are present in the human gastrointestinal tract! The gut microbiome in humans varies functionally and taxonomically in each section of the GI tract as well as varying in the same person with age and environmental factors. The gut microbiome serves many purposes, such as its importance for the development of the intestinal mucosal immune system as well as the systemic immune system. The diverse microbiome in the digestive tract serves to functionally expand the host (human) genome by providing codes for various types of enzymatic proteins that facilitate the host’s metabolism and physiology.

Probiotics in supplement and food are thought to provide many benefits like to boost immune function, optimize digestion, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and increase resistance to infection by providing competition for “bad bacteria.” For example, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species assist in the maintenance of intestinal health by producing organic compounds that increase the acidity of the digestive tract. This increased acidity interferes with the reproduction of some harmful bacteria. In addition, probiotic microflora produce bacteriocins, natural antibiotics that kill harmful microorganisms. Studies have shown that supplementing with probiotics reduces the rate of intestinal infections.

In addition to Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, our new formulation of ProbZyme features Lactospore® which is a strain of Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856 bacteria, a spore-forming, short-chain fatty acid (butyrate) and lactic acid producing strain. Lactospore® is shelf-stable, survives in stomach acid and bile secretions, is non-GMO and organic. Lactospore® may reduce abdominal pain associated with IBS, improve mood symptoms associated with IBS, and relieve bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

ProbZyme includes a digestive enzyme blend featuring amylase, lactase, bromelain, lipase, cellulase, and a new addition of OPTIZIOME® glutendigesting enzyme blend with protease and peptidase. Digestive enzymes are utilized to support better food digestion, nutrient absorption, and digestive comfort. * Specifically, digestive enzymes are complex proteins which may help improve indigestion and heartburn, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and allergies. The OPTIZIOME® enzyme specifically targets the breakdown of gluten and thus may help reduce symptoms associated with non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
