“No matter if customers are looking to improve gut health, immune health or treat specific gut conditions, many companies have a method to their probiotic “recipe,” versus a random concoction of probiotic strains. For example, Natren offers several probiotic products, but its flagship product, Healthy Trinity has 30 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) of three specific strains designed to enhance the GI system. “We chose three specific strains to target each part of digestion: small intestine, large intestine and the transient flora,” said Natasha Trenev, owner and founder of Natren. “For the small intestine, we feature the NAS L. acidophilus strain, which helps regulate immune function and maximizes food absorption. For the large intestine (colon), we feature Bifidobacteria bifidum malyoth strain, which is considered by Japanese researchers the most important bacteria for human health. It finalizes absorption, helps to flush out toxins and stimulates regularity. The final strain is Lactobacilus bulgaricus LB-51, which travels with the food producing enzymes to break down the food in the proper nutrient size, without adversely affecting the immune system.” Trenev referred to LB-51 as the “crowd control” organism because it travels with the food throughout the entire intestinal tract. “Up to 40 percent of dry-weight fecal matter is hundreds of species of bacteria, and therefore, this strain is very important to prevent other types of bacteria from taking hold and interfering with proper absorption.””
