Description
Overview of health benefits The beneficial bacterial strain used in FLORASSIST® Daily Bowel Regularity is Bifidobacterium lactis HN019. It may help combat occasional constipation in as little as 14 days by encouraging the production of specific short-chain fatty acids that can help your digestive system "keep things moving". Why it works There are many ways to promote digestive health and increase regularity, but not all solutions suit everyone. How does Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 do it? The answer lies in particular in the short-chain fatty acids (or SCFAs) produced in your digestive tract. B. lactis HN019 encourages the production of SCFAs. This in turn triggers a chain reaction that "speeds up" the contents of your digestive tract. (1-3) The science behind the product Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, used in FLORASSIST® Daily Bowel Regularity, was first isolated from yoghurt produced in New Zealand. (4) There are more than 2,000 active culture strains among bacteria, but B. lactis HN019 is different. Clinical studies with B. lactis HN019 In a triple-blind clinical study, 88 men and women suffering from mild occasional constipation received either a low dose of B. lactis HN019, a high dose, or a placebo. Low-dose results When taken once a day for two weeks, those who received the lowest dose of B. lactis HN019 reported a 31% increase in colonic transit time, or (CTT). Your CTT is the time it takes for your food to pass through your digestive system. (1) High-dose results While a 31% increase is good, the high-dose HN019 group did even better! Their CTT increased by 57 percent. In addition, participants in the high-dose group reported a significant decrease in the occasional digestive discomfort they had experienced before the study. The Life Extension formula After reviewing these results, Life Extension formulated FLORASSIST® Daily Bowel Regularity to reflect the same amount as the high-dose study group. (1) Since there is no point creating a probiotic for digestive health with potentially problematic ingredients, Life Extension has taken additional steps to self-certify that FLORASSIST® Daily Bowel Regularity is completely gluten-free (and made without genetically modified ingredients).
