Dr. Mercola, Complete Probiotics for Pets, 90 g

Product Information

Certain mushrooms contain high levels of a prebiotic substance called beta–glucans, a non-digestible oligosaccharide that feeds your good bacteria and promotes valuable health benefits.* Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces bourladii have been extensively studied over the years and found to have several benefits to the digestive system when used as strains in probiotic supplements. They have been used as single strains for specific nutrient needs or used with other strains to improve the Probiotic's quality, increase its uses and prolong shelf life. Mushrooms are one of my favorite forms of prebiotics because they offer so many potential benefits. Having a GMP certification helps ensure that a product is sufficiently potent to be effective and safe. But, how can you tell if a probiotic has a GMP certification? The final verdict on probiotics is that they have endless benefits to our bodies, and scientists, health workers, and researchers should explore deeper their unique uses, not just general uses as they are in the current market. Probiotics are safe to use as dietary supplements by people from all age groups at all times

Look for probiotics that are free from common allergens like wheat, soy, and dairy, especially if your dog has food sensitivities. Shiitake (Lentinus edodes) – Has a beneficial, modulating effect on immune function and protective qualities for your GI tract.* Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) – Contains two polysaccharide complexes that are gaining a great deal of scientific attention for their ability to enhance immune status.* Contains a special blend of the appropriate strains that are most effective for promoting optimal gastrointestinal health in your cats and dogs

Uploading

Probiotics have existed for centuries as naturally occurring in yogurt, cheese, and other fermented dairy products. With technology improving, scientists and medical experts started making these probiotics' cultures using bacterial strains to develop supplements. These cultures are nurtured in a modern laboratory using friendly bacteria that are safe for human consumption. Bifidobacterium longum: keeps your pet's digestive system running smoothly and helps enhance their immune system.

Tight junctions protect your body against toxins and pathogenic bacteria, and they’re involved in the modulation, or balancing, of your body’s immune response. This modulation is key to preventing an immune overreaction – or cytokine storm – that can lead to extensive tissue damage. Spores can survive the low pH of the gastric barrier to deliver the entire dosage to your small intestine (not the case for all Lactobacillus species).

Supplements could also cause harm if they are consumed after expiry, poor storage conditions that could tamper with the quality of the bacterial strain, such as storing in poorly ventilated areas, storing above or below recommended temperature or in damp areas.

A: These are bacteria found in the intestinal tract that help improve the digestive and immune function plus other benefits to the body. Produced by nature to survive extreme environmental conditions that might normally kill regular probiotic bacteria, SBOs – or spore-forming bacteria – offer three major advantages in your gut over non-spore-forming, regular probiotics: Delivery System: Probiotics are manufactured in forms to ensure they reach their destination and successfully do their work. Good probiotic companies may make their products in the form of fat balls or capsules that won't dissolve until they reach the gut. Nearly everyone has heard about probiotics, but few people know about spore probiotics or spore biotics – at least not yet. While they may be as ancient as the hunters and gatherers themselves, the power of spores is just becoming known.

Mushrooms are also a rare source of ergothioneine, an unusual sulfur–containing derivative of the amino acid histidine. This “master antioxidant” may play a very important role in protecting your cellular DNA from oxidative damage.* Is Complete Spore Restore Right for You?
