Original Synbiotic

20 billion cfu/tsp of certified strains of pedigreed probiotic with Therapeutic Foods in a synbiotic formula of L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, S. thermophilus and 4 grams of inulin derived from organic chicory fiber. Advanced freeze-drying technology. 120 grams/bottle. 4 grams/ tsp. Dairy free.  Soy free. Gluten free. No excipients.

• Microbiome Technology creates hardy and viable pedigreed strains of L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, S. thermophilus.
• Original strains of lactic acid bacteria are based on ATCC prototypical strains and confirmed routinely by 16sRNA sequencing to provide highest quality probiotic material.
• The Original Strains are chosen for their strength, compatibility, safety and their 40 years of proven ability to neutralize food borne pathogens and xenobiotics.
  • Strains selected to protect, counteract and neutralize dietary toxins, mutagens, carcinogens and infectious organisms.
  • The contamination of food with aflatoxins is a worldwide problem. Mold mycotoxins compromise the blood-brain barrier and induce neurodegenerative processes. L rhamnosus binds AFB1 in vivo and reduces bio-absorption of the toxin from the gut. L. acidophilus and B. longum neutralize AFB1 and AFM1 by binding mechanisms. S. thermophilus reduces content of ochratoxin A.
  • Mutagens cause impaired cell function, cell death or cell transformation into cancer cells. L. acidophilus, B. longum, L. rhamnosus, S. thermophilus and L. plantarum neutralize heterocyclic amines and nitrosamines, two of the most common and powerful mutagenic molecules found in our diet.
• Our home is a global environment. Infectious organisms come from all corners of the world.
  • Verocytotoxin producing E. coli s0157 are emerging food borne pathogens worldwide. B. longumneutralizes this toxin.
  • The collective ability of the Original probiotic organisms to protect the frontline border of our GI tract membrane from the aggressive enterovirulent pathogens is accomplished via: the production of bactercins, creation of an acid barrier, stimulation of the cell mediated immune system and protective colonization of enterocytes.
• The lactic acid bacterial strains in the Original Synbiotic Formula have demonstrated the ability to inhibit the formation of precancerous colon lesions. Numerous trials performed validate findings.
• Pure inulin, derived from chicory fiber, provides support as a Therapeutic Foods carrier and prebiotic. Provides an ideal food source for the lactic acid organisms to grow, thrive and to protect.
• In the process of fermentation, inulin produces butyric acid and therefore:
  • Corrects GI permeability- establishes tight junctions.
  • Inhibits colon cancer: stimulating the differentiation of stem cells.
• Improves habit of bowel regularity
• No fillers, flowing agents or excipients of any kind.

ORIGINAL — The Original is designed as a foundational probiotic formula for the whole family.

Hard working probiotic: The Original is designed to handle and neutralize carcinogens, toxins, molds, yeasts, and food pathogens (e.g., salmonella). The probiotic mix binds heavy metals. Take 1 teaspoon a day. For babies, start with a few grains (mothers can dip their pinkie in the mix to feed the baby). Sensitive individuals start with ¼ teaspoon and gradually up the dosage.* 

leaky gut: The Original creates a slightly acidic pH level in the GI Tract to protect the gut membrane from pathogens like yeast. The mix produces amazingly high amounts of the short chain fatty acid butyrate, which facilitate the tightening of the gut membrane. Take 1 teaspoon daily (can take 1 teaspoon three times day during acute bouts of gastric distress).*

Digestion: Take 1 teaspoon to improve digestion, dissolve in mouth slowly. The Original in fact helps the digestion of polyphenols from fruits, berries, veggies, and greens into bioavailable shorter chains of phenolic molecules. The Original also helps digest complex carbohydrates into short chain fatty acids, important for gut health.*

Microbiome and healthy diversity: The Original has team playing organisms that help to build healthier communities in the gut.
