Looking Into
Probiotics With the essential connection made between human health and good bacteria, it is no wonder that there have been so many studies on the use of probiotics that supplement the body’s own population. Currently, over 1,300 human clinical trials are listed on the ClinicalTrials.gov website and nearly 300 more on the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) of the World Health Organization.1 That’s more than 1,600 studies conducted on human beings, which help to dispel any thought that there’s not enough evidence to support the use of probiotics. Additionally, a worldwide team of scientists created a massive database that catalogs over 200,000 genomes (an organism’s complete set of DNA) and over 170 million protein sequences from more than 4,600 bacterial species found in the human gut.2 This accumulation of research will help to further understand the physical properties and functions of these organisms in relation to keeping people healthy.

FloraFood Probiotics
It’s interesting to note that several clinical trials have been conducted on the same combination of probiotics contained in FloraFood: Lactobacillus gasseri, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum. Some of study results include: Older adults showed a less inflammatory cytokine profile after taking this probiotic mixture. 2015 The Journal of the American College of Nutrition DOI: 10.1080/07315724.2014.983249
Healthy individuals with seasonal allergies experienced improved quality of life by taking these three strains of good bacteria. 2017 The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.116.140012
There’s no telling how much more will be revealed in the future regarding the importance of probiotic use for maintaining good health. References: 1 bit.ly/ProbioticStudies 2 bit.ly/BacteriaProbe
