Multi-Probiotic Flora Source is Endorsed by Gastroenterologist and Author, Dr. Joseph Brasco, M.D.

Cottonwood, AZ (PRWEB) June 24, 2010 -- Dr. Brasco is the author of “The Great Physician’s Rx for Irritable Bowel Syndrome” and “Restoring Your Digestive Health,” among other titles, and is currently on staff at The Center for Colon and Digestive Disease in Huntsville, Alabama (http://www.huntsville-gastroenterology.com/brasco-bio.shtml). Dr. Brasco completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.

“As probiotic and dietary supplements specialists, we are thrilled to announce a partnership between Nutri-Health and Dr. Brasco,” says Trish Mahon, President of Nutri-Health Supplements (http://nutri-health.com/default.asp). “Dr. Brasco is a renowned Gastroenterologist and clinical expert in digestive health. He is also an advocate for a sound diet, healthy eating, the critical role of probiotics, and for good digestion and overall wellness.”

The Multi-Vitamin for your Gut

“Physicians, and particularly those in digestive health fields, are recommending probiotics to their patients to aid digestion and support long-term intestinal health,” says Dr. Brasco. “As a clinically formulated, multi-strain probiotic supplement, Flora Source is my ideal choice to address a wide spectrum of digestive concerns. I call it a Multi-Vitamin for your Gut!”

Nutri-Health formulated Flora Source Multi-Probiotic 20 years ago with 16 probiotic strains and 32 billion cells per serving. The company reports over a million bottles sold since Flora Source’s launch.

“Flora Source’s 20 years of consumer success and its multi-strain formulation make it a natural and proactive approach to digestive heath,” says Dr. Brasco. “Longevity and consumer trust is key to a supplement’s efficacy, and Flora Source certainly has both.”

Flora Source is available online (http://tryflorasource.com/), direct to consumers from Nutri-Health Supplements.

Probiotics Offer Multiple Digestive and Immune Benefits

Flora Source supports immune health through the gut-immune connection and helps alleviate occasional:

•    Constipation

•    Diarrhea

•    Gas and Bloating

•    Digestive Irregularity

Flora Source includes both Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria probiotic strains plus two additional strains, totaling 16 strains in all.

“Lactobacillus strains primarily populate the small intestine,” reports Dr. Brasco, “while Bifidobacteria support the large intestine. It is vital that a full-spectrum probiotic supplement contain both strain types.”

Flora Source and Gastrointestinal Health

Many probiotic supplements today only feature a few probiotic strains. The human digestive tract, however, is populated with multiple types of essential microflora. This essential microflora balance can be reduced due to diet, certain medications, and other lifestyle factors. A probiotic supplement with a high number of probiotic strains helps replenish this delicate balance.

In addition to its proprietary 16 strain blend, Nutri-Health product developers report the recent addition of a special non-gas forming prebiotic fiber to the Flora Source formula for a “symbiotic” blend between probiotics and prebiotics.

“Prebiotics have long been known as 'food' for beneficial intestinal microflora,” says Dr. Brasco. “Flora Source features short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), a specific prebiotic fiber with a unique short-chain structure that will not produce bloating or gas.”
