WHOLE EARTH & SEA Fermented Whole Food Probiotic (10 Billion - 60 vcaps)

NATURAL FACTORS - Fermented Whole Food Probiotic - 60 Veggie Capsule(s) - NPN : 80108988

Whole Earth & Sea Fermented Whole Food Probiotic is a 100% plant-based, dairy-free, once-daily probiotic supplement featuring 10 billion active cells of beneficial bacteria per capsule at expiry. This unique wholefood blend harnesses the power of natural fermentation to deliver 10 active strains with organic prebiotics in a single convenient serving for gentle relief of constipation and bowel irregularity, and to reduce the frequency of flatulence and other functional gastrointestinal symptoms.

Modern agriculture and refrigeration mean that most diets lack natural probiotics, and eating fermented foods is not always convenient or palatable. Whole Earth & Sea Fermented Whole Food Probiotic offers a convenient one-per-day option to restore and replenish beneficial bacteria in the gut. The wholefood probiotics in this formula are cultured using natural foods as the growth medium, meaning that the body more easily accepts these beneficial live bacteria.

This formula also features a fermented prebiotic blend of organic, non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and herbs, which help feed beneficial bacteria. When probiotics break down these dietary fibres, they form postbiotics like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs help lower the pH of the gut, creating a more favourable environment for beneficial bacteria as opposed to harmful bacteria. Our wholefood probiotic blend with prebiotics optimizes the gut environment to help create these beneficial postbiotics.

Shelf stable and gastric acid resistant, this probiotic formula provides complete gastrointestinal support through clinically proven strains. It is also gluten-free, sugar-free, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
