ProFactor® provides an unequaled mix of beneficial bacteria, growth factors and a special class of natural carbohydrates that increase naturally-occurring bacteria, essential for a healthy digestive system.
Antibiotics kill ALL the bacteria in your body, good and bad. ProFactor is a pro-biotic, which kills the bad bacteria and replenishes the good bacteria.
Pro-biotics (according to Wikopedia) are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeasts. Pro-biotic bacterial cultures are intended to assist the body's naturally occurring gut flora to re-establish themselves.
They are sometimes recommended by doctors, and, more frequently, by nutritionists, after a course of antibiotics, or as part of the treatment for gut related candidiasis. Claims are made that probiotics strengthen the immune system to combat allergies and other immunal diseases.
The rationale for pro-biotics is that the body contains a miniature ecology of microbes, collectively known as the gut flora. A number of bacterial types are thought to be thrown out of balance by a wide range of circumstances including the use of antibiotics or other drugs, excess alcohol, stress, disease, or exposure to toxic substances.
In cases like these, the bacteria that work well with our bodies may decrease in number, an event which allows harmful competitors to thrive, to the detriment of our health. Sepplementation is recommended to help maintain healthy levels of pro-biotics.
