What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are naturally occurring friendly bacteria that enhance health in several key ways, including:
• Assisting with digestion and nutrient assimilation
• Helping inhibit the overgrowth of harmful bacteria
• Supporting the immune system
• Maintaining bowel health and assisting with proper elimination
• Helping restore and maintain balanced flora after antibiotics, which kill the beneficial gut flora
Why Do we Need Probiotics?
Nearly 70% of the immune system is associated with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through synergistic interactions with various bacteria colonies (flora) that reside in our GI tract to maintain its health and function. Imbalances in this gut flora—either an absence of beneficial bacteria or an overgrowth of unhealthy organisms—can interfere with our quest for optimal health.
Abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and a struggling immune system are some common outcomes of imbalanced gut flora. Antibiotic therapy, illness, poor diet, stress, and environmental toxins affect the health of our gut flora. In the past, regular consumption of fermented foods helped to maintain healthy gut flora, but these foods are increasingly rare in our diet. The combination of unhealthy lifestyles and a lack of fermented foods in the diet makes it important for most people to supplement with probiotics.
PCOS and Probiotics
Emerging research has shown probiotics to be effective at improving many aspects related to PCOS such as cholesterol, insulin, testosterone, and inflammation.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 60 PCOS patients were randomized into two groups to receive either probiotic capsules (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) for 12 weeks. The probiotic capsules contained three strains available in PCOS PROBIOTIC™: Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Compared with the placebo group, taking probiotic supplements resulted in a significantly reduced BMI, lower serum insulin and lower blood lipid levels.
Another randomized double-blind controlled experiment confirmed that compared with the placebo group, probiotic supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium bifidum significantly increased serum levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), reduced total serum testosterone levels, reduced modified Ferriman–Gallwey (mFG) scores, and improved chronic inflammatory states as indicated by decreased levels of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations. No adverse effects of probiotic supplementation were observed.
A meta-analysis of 587 patients showed that probiotics can reduce total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and consequently reduce the long-term cardiovascular risk of PCOS patients.
Why Choose PCOS PROBIOTIC™?
- Transparency: PCOS Nutrition Center® discloses vital information required to confirm the efficacy of this probiotic formulation, including: The specific strains of each probiotic species. There are many strains of a specific probiotic species, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, but not all strains impart significant health benefits to people with PCOS. Only select, rigorously studied strains are scientifically proven to survive, adhere, and function in the GI tract.Strain Specificity: PCOS PROBIOTIC™ contains 10 of the most well-researched probiotic strains for PCOS– each with a specific, functional strength that collectively enhances and maintains immune and digestive health.
- Strain Amounts: High doses of specific probiotic strains are helpful to target notable health conditions and to help repair damaged body systems. PCOS PROBIOTIC™ is designed with large quantities scientifically proven to be effective for replenishing the gut flora when intensive recolonization is needed due to antibiotic use and poor health.
- Survivability: Many commercial probiotics are unable to survive the harsh journey to the intestines and are unlikely to attach to the intestinal walls, where they can grow and function effectively.
- Acid/Bile Resistance: PCOS PROBIOTIC™ probiotic strains have been scientifically proven to withstand the highly acidic stomach juices and the harsh bile salts they encounter in the small intestine.*
- Gut Adherence: PCOS PROBIOTIC™ probiotic strains have been carefully selected according to their ability to securely adhere to the intestinal walls, where they can colonize and persist.*
- Shelf Stability: Live probiotics are fragile organisms that naturally die after production and distribution. This results in many probiotic formulations losing their potency, delivering fewer numbers of beneficial bacteria than expected, and becoming less effective. PCOS PROBIOTIC™ is created with the latest state-of-the-art technology that ensures probiotic strains are alive and effective after packaging and storage for up to 24 months, without the need for refrigeration.
PCOS Nutrition Center® guards against any potential loss of probiotic strains by adding extra quantities of each probiotic to guarantee consumers will receive no less than the stated number of strains in each dose. - Innovative, Convenient Packaging: State-of-the-art desiccant-lined bottles protect probiotics from damaging exposure to moisture, oxygen, and light to extend the shelf life of PCOS PROBIOTIC™ while eliminating the need for refrigeration. PCOS PROBIOTIC™ capsules feature delayed release technology for optimal survivability from stomach acid & properly timed release of probiotics in the lower GI tract.
