Protec with Bifidus with FOS
A new and updated Natural Factors Probiotic formula for general use by youth, adults and seniors, with L.rhamnosus as the predominant strain. Protec is enteric-coated to protect fragile probiotics from digestive secretions until they reach the small and large intestine.
L.rhamnosus is probably the most important probiotic strain for health of the mouth to the small intestine. It protects by coating the mucus, preventing toxins from reaching the blood. It even results in better smelling breath. It survives temperature extremes and is resistant to bile salts and stomach acid, ferments 23 sugars and inhibits negative bacteria and yeast growth. It is hardier and keeps better without refrigeration. Compared to L.acidophilus, L.rhamnosus is 8 to 10 times more prolific, has a larger spectrum of sugar fermentation (important for people with milk sugar intolerance) has better control over putrefactive microbes, and is more effective at inhibiting disease-causing pathogens.
L.acidophilus produces lactic acid which keeps a proper pH balance in the small intestine, inhibiting yeast growth. Studies have show that L.acidophilus is effective in reducing lactose intolerance, inhibiting undesirable organisms in the intestine, reducing cholesterol levels and controlling diarrhea.
B.bifidus helps maintain health of the large intestine in both children and adults, promoting regular bowel movements, giving protection from yeast and bacterial pathogens such as E.coli, Clostridium and Shigella infections.
B.longum is effective against putrefactive and pathogenic bacteria. It has anti-carcinogenic activity, deconjugates bile salts, helps to synthesize some of the B-complex vitamins and may lower the content of serum cholesterol.
FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) are short-chained indigestible sugars found in chicory. They feed on and increase the amount of healthy bacteria in the colon. As they are indigestible they pass through the small intestine into the colon intact where friendly bacteria feed on them and multiply.

FOS is often referred to as a prebiotic and is the ideal addition to a probiotic product as they keep healthy amounts of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.
E. faecium is widely found in probiotics used in Europe and Asia. It is stable and resistant to heat and inhibits the growth of a large number of pathogens.
B. longum is effective against putrefactive and pathogenic bacteria. It has anticarcinogenic activity, deconjugates bile salts, helps to synthesize some of the B-complex vitamins and may lower the content of serum cholesterol.
S. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus grow in symbiosis, quickly producing important amounts of lactic acid that inhibit growth of putrefactive bacteria; they produce the enzyme lactase that helps prevent lactose intolerance and enhance immune function.
BenefitsRestores and maintains healthy, balanced intestinal flora

Improves breath
Enteric coated
IngredientsEach capsule contains:
4 billion active cells* of the following specially cultured strains of probiotics:
Lactobacillus rhamnosus (HA-111) ...................................... 80% 3.2 billion cfu
Lactobacillus acidophilus (HA-122) ..................................... 10% 0.4 billion cfu
Bifidobacterium longum (HA-135) ..........................................5% 0.2 billion cfu
Bifidobacterium bifidum (HA-132) ..........................................5% 0.2 billion cfu
FOS (fructooligosaccharides: naturally occurring complex fructose molecules derived from chicory root)......................................................................... 200 mg
Dosage3 capsules daily, 15 minutes before or 1 hour after meals or as directed by a health care practitioner.
Children (10 years and older): 1 capsule daily, 15 minutes before or 1 hour after meals or as directed by a health care practitioner.
If taking antibiotics, wait 2 hours before ingesting probiotics. For those unable to take capsules, the contents of the capsules may be mixed with cold food or liquid.
ContraindicationsStudies in humans indicate that lactobacillus preparations do not appear to interfere with the effectiveness of antibiotics, but may prevent antibiotic-induced diarrhea.
If taking antibiotics, take two hours before or two hours after ingesting probiotics.
Exceedingly safe. However, be aware that there may be a period of digestive adjustment while the body adjusts to any new probiotic strain.
As well, the superior 'attacking' power of L. rhamnosus against negative bacteria and yeast may temporarily release more toxins, resulting in flu-like symptoms.
If this happens, just cut back on the dosage until the toxins are removed from the body. Gradually return to your usual dosage.
Additional InformationChildren: Suitable for children at one-half the adult dose.
Pregnancy and Nursing: Considered safe during pregnancy and lactation however, any pregnant women with active urogenital infection should consul with her health care practitioner and not self-medicate.
Seniors: No special precautions are known.
