A True ‘Synbiotic’
A synbiotic combines prebiotic fibre and probiotics into one powerhouse supplement. Our Sally-Ann Creed® MaxiBiotic is a 10-strain probiotic bacteria and yeast per dose that delivers 20 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) per vegicap.
Benefits may include:
-Improved overall digestion
-Increased immunity
-Lowered cholesterol levels, due to probiotic’s hypocholesterolemic effects
-Skin rejuvenation, which may assist with atopic eczema, wounds and scar healing
Probiotics are healthy bacteria which live in our digestive tract. Prebiotics are “food” that the healthy bacteria eat to survive within our system. Together, a probiotic and prebiotic make a supplement called a synbiotic.
Our Maxi Probiotic contains 20 billion CFUs. CFUs are the unit of measure used to assess the number of viable organisms present. The average probiotic on the market usually contains around 100 million to 1 billion CFUs per dose, making our Sally-Ann Creed® probiotic 20 times stronger than the average – a real powerhouse product.
As a result of our high-paced lifestyles, stress, poor eating choices, alcohol or tobacco use, as well as various medications including antibiotics, our gut takes immense daily strain. This ongoing strain can lead to an overgrowth of ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut and depletes our ‘good’ bacteria. This in turn leads to a host of negative consequences ranging from poor nutrient absorption, to conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Candida and even certain food intolerances, such as lactose intolerance. There is growing research on the connection between our gut and optimal brain health, and how a balanced gut microbiome can assist with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Significant evidence also illustrates the gut’s role in promoting our immune system by optimizing immunity from viruses thanks to its ability to increase T and B lymphocyte production, which are responsible for fighting disease and infection.
Symptoms of an unstable gut microbiome:
-Bloating, excessive gas and stomach discomfort
-Fatigue
-Bad breath
-Nausea
-Diarrhea
-Unintentional weight loss
-Malnutrition
Some natural forms of probiotics can be found in foods such as yogurt and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir. However, many of these food sources contain high amounts of sugar which can have a negative effect on your gut microbiome so remember to read the labels carefully when choosing.
Our Sally-Ann Creed® MaxiProbiotic 20 is a quick and easy way for you to ensure you are getting your daily dose of good gut bugs with no nasties. When taken with our MaxiPrebiotic fibre, you are providing the optimal environment for those good gut bugs to flourish and keep your body running at its best.
