How much do you know about your body’s intestinal tract – otherwise known as the gut? Are you aware, for instance, it’s naturally home to thousands of micro-organisms? So much so that, taken together, all these microscopic, living entities are referred to as the gut flora (or the gut microbiome)? Well, now you do – and it’s in your interest to be aware that it’s important for not just your intestinal health, but your overall body’s health that this gut flora (mostly made up of bacteria) achieves and retains a balance between ‘good bacteria’ and ‘bad bacteria’ – or, of course, that that mixture of bacteria is weighted in the favour of the ‘good’.

 

Powerful probiotics

Otherwise known as probiotics, these ‘good bacteria’ don’t just reside in the intestines, colon and stomach, but also the mouth, oesophagus and the naval cavity, which ensures they account for more than three pounds in weight (equal to the weight of your brain) in your body. Or, at least, they should do. You see, unlike ‘bad bacteria’, which can cause all sorts of problems throughout the body, probiotics can do all sorts of good, primarily because they absorb so many nutrients and play a pivotal role in converting them into energy for the body – the likes of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc, to name just a handful of them. No wonder your body needs as many of them as possible then.

More specifically, academic studies have, in recent years, underlined the importance of probiotics to general health. For instance, a 2007 study conducted at Duke University in the United States discovered that probiotics are generated by the appendix to contribute to the fight against harmful organisms in the body, while research conducted in 2004 found that colic among infants was reduced among those who consumed them. Plus, it’s believed that around 90 percent of autistic people may experience probiotic imbalance and another recent study recorded that probiotics, owing to their effect on neurotransmitters, may even be relied on by the brain to help control emotions and mood¹.

 

Fantastic Floratrex

Increasing the number of probiotics in your intestinal system and throughout your body then is of undoubted importance. The most natural way to go about this, of course, is through a sensible, balanced, healthy diet, rich in foods that are packed full of probiotics. However, it’s only fair to say that for some people, ensuring they get enough of (the right) yoghurts, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut and dark chocolate isn’t particularly easy. Which is precisely why there’s a good number of probiotic supplements on the market – and one of the very best, not least because it’s so comprehensive, is Floratrex.

Boasting 50 billion colony forming units (CFUs; the unit that measures the viable number of fungal or bacteria cells per sample), Floratrex terrifically contributes to populating the digestive track with a vast blend of probiotics, as well as prebiotics (the food ingredients that actively induce the growth of beneficial bacteria). Developed by Dr Edward Group of the Global Healing Center, it’s a supplement that seeks to deliver customers a dynamic and large selection of good bacteria strains (as many as 23 separate ones) together in an all-in-one, full-spectrum, digestive and intestinal health probiotic formula – and it’s entirely suitable for vegetarians and vegans too. For all those reasons then, we’re only too happy to stock it at The Finchley Clinic and recognise the great supplement it is for all those looking to improve their gut flora.

 

What Floratrex can do for you

So, in a little more detail, the following are five excellent reasons why you should consider taking Floratrex:

• Digestive support – the digestive system operates, machine-like, in a complex way, it’s aim being to convert the nutrients from the food you eat into energy for the body; probiotics plays a critical role in this process because they promote nutrient absorption, which means then, that a probiotic-packed supplement like Floratrex can be of substantial help in making sure your body develops the energy it needs and becomes and remains as healthy as possible

 

• Improves immunity – believe it or not, that intangible-sounding entity in your body that’s the immune system majoritively resides in your gut (possibly more than 70 percent of it, in fact); this means that the intestinal tract is effectively the front-line of everyone’s immune system and, to that end, it’s probiotic levels have to be topped up to keep it in good shape

 

• Promotes gut balance – as noted, full as it is with both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria, the gut requires as much help as it can get in ensuring the two kinds of bacteria are balanced out to keep hazardous micro-organisms at bay; Floratrex is tops, indeed, at replenishing the probiotics your gut needs for this

 

• Magnificent mix – quite simply, one of the most advanced and comprehensive gut health supplements you’ll find anywhere, Floratrex is packed full of goodness for your gut; thanks to (yes) it’s 23 separate, hugely beneficial bacterial strains
