Optiflora prebiotic and probiotic supplements

Optiflora prebiotic and probiotic supplements

The healthy body contains trillions of “friendly” microorganisms. The vast majority of
them live in the colon, where they perform a multitude of health-supporting tasks. Their
most important role is helping to maintain a healthy balance with other less desirable
organisms. Enhancing the friendly microorganisms can promote long-term colon health.
Optiflora Probiotic promotes colon health by supporting the growth of healthy micro flora
naturally found in the colon.* Optiflora Probiotic delivers guaranteed live probiotics
Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The Optiflora Prebiotic Complex
enriched with Inulin and FOS (fructooligosaccharides), Optiflora Prebiotic Complex
delivers important nutrients that healthy intestinal bacteria need to grow and thrive.
Optiflora also has gamma-tocopherol, a nutrient associated with colon health.*

Who Might Benefit from Optiflora?
Who could benefit from beneficial intestinal microflora?
• People whose dietary choices may affect the balance of gastro intestinal micro flora.
• Individuals who frequently or chronically take antibiotics.
• Children who frequently take antibiotics for ear infections.
• Anyone planning foreign travel.

Optiflora Probiotic Complex features triple layer encapsulation technology, which helps
ensure potency and guarantees live delivery of Bifidobacterium longum and
Lactobacillus acidophilus to the intestine. Without this special protection, probiotics –
live organisms — can be destroyed before they reach the large intestine, where they
provide the greatest benefit.

It has been estimated that we have more bacteria in our intestinal tract than cells in our
body. One of the most important ways that beneficial microflora promote health is by
simply existing in large numbers. Research studies indicate that normal, healthy
colonies of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium can help maintain a healthy balance
between beneficial and undesirable bacteria. Scientists believe this healthful standoff is
achieved in several ways by:
• enhancing immunity
• maintaining the acid pH of the intestinal environment
• competition for nutrients and adhesion sites
• actively support healthy colony cells
• detoxification
• maintain healthy, normal populations of beneficial microflora, even in people
taking antibiotics

Optiflora is a unique, two-product system that supplies both beneficial bacteria
(probiotics) AND the nutrients they need to thrive (prebiotics) to provide complete dietary
support for the healthy balance of intestinal microflora.* Optiflora’s state-of-the-art
seamless capsule is guaranteed to withstand the acidic environment of the stomach to
deliver live beneficial bacteria to the intestine.

What are Prebiotics? They are nutrients which selectively feed the friendly bacteria and
Probiotics are supplemental populations of the “friendly bacteria” residing in the colon
which help to maintain healthy intestinal microbial balance. The term Probiotic literally
means “healthful for life.”

Remember only Shaklee Optiflora can guarantee delivery of both prebiotics and
probiotics encouraging growth and multiplication.

**Optiflora rebuilds health possibly quicker than any other product we have to offer! Just
what does this product do?? Basically, it helps maintain one’s health by adding
500,000,000 living flora to the intestinal tract with each serving! Since both advanced
aging and disease are directly tied to the intestinal tract, this product should be one of
the first following the Rx for a Healthier Life™!

At birth each of us are born with a healthy intestine loaded with positive and healthy flora
(bacteria) and we are probably as healthy as we ever will be! As we mature, and we are
exposed to the environment, to stress, to others’ ailments, through the process of aging –
all of these – cause disease-causing bacteria to invade our intestines! Slowly, the bad
bacteria overcomes the good flora! Before this product was introduced, there was NO
WAY to add new and living flora to the intestines! Now, because of Shaklee’s research
team, we can! Yes, Optiflora is the ONLY product on the market that delivers living flora
directly to the intestines! It’s powder and a pearl and it is recommended that it be taken
(together) once a day! Since nearly every illness comes from the colon (intestines),
Optiflora is possibly the ‘most effective’ preventative health product available!
