How does NutraFlora compare to Acidophilus?
Acidophilus is a probiotic product – meaning it contains live strains of friendly bacteria. NutraFlora, on the other hand, is a prebiotic – it doesn’t contain any live bacteria, but is a food source for the friendly bacteria that already inhabit your digestive system. Some probiotic products must be refrigerated to keep the bacteria live. Then, once taken, some of the bacteria are killed by stomach acids and bile before they reach the lower intestine where they do their work. Because NutraFlora contains no live bacteria, it doesn’t require refrigeration or other special handling. NutraFlora also isn’t affected by stomach acids, so 100% of the NutraFlora you take reaches the lower intestine and feeds the beneficial bacteria that naturally reside there. NutraFlora can also work together with probiotic products – helping to ensure that the probiotics that do reach the lower intestine are properly nourished.
