For more added benefits we have added a whole host additional bacteria strains.
Why is this so important ?
Adding additional strains of the same species is important as some strains can do what other strains within the same species can not do.
The bacterial species category defines an organism on the basis of genetic similarity,
biochemical, and phenotypic criteria.
A strain designation reflects descendants of a single organism and are classified based
on unique characteristics defined by serotyping, enzyme typing, protein/nucleic acids/
plasmid characterization, and functional characteristics important to probiotic strains
including: undesirable bacteria inhibition, gastric acid tolerance, adhesion/colonization,
hydrophobicity, immunomodulatory cytokine production, etc.
All Strains are clinically-documented, safe and demonstrates proven efficacy in strengthening gut health.
Blend of bacteria adapted to upper intestine support as well as lower intestine support
LACTOBACILLUS REUTERI
While our product always contained L. reuteri we have have added two specific bacterial strains of L. reuteri used in research.
Studies that experimented with L. reuteri yogurt consumption in animals & humans suggested dramatic health benefits for both. These include the ability to:
- Improve skin youthfulness, increases collagen & reduces wrinkles
- Accelerate skin healing
- Promote thick and shiny hair
- Increase testosterone levels in men
- Increase the ‘feel good’ hormone oxytocin
- Lower stress
- Reduce acid reflux and infantile colic
- Suppress H.pylori & C.difficile and protects against intestinal infections
- Lower pain perception
- Increase vitamin D3 levels by up to 25.5%
- Decrease incidences of diarrhoea but also increase bowel frequency
- Fight candida
- Prevent and treat small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- Promote thyroid health and oral health
- Protect against certain infections
- Reduce insulin resistance
- Increase muscle mass and bone density
- Glydo-D contains the two specific bacterial strains, L. reuteri used in this research.
