4LIFE PROBIOTICS

The concept of “good” bacteria may seem highly confusing, given all the media messages we receive about new and antibioticresistant strains of microbes that lurk in the unseen world. As a society, we’ve been programmed to be somewhat “germ phobic.” Any suggestion that some types of microorganisms are not only good for us, but even essential for our wellness, may seem nonsensical. The fact is that we would not be here today if it were not for the presence of beneficial bacteria that contribute to our well-being. Prior to the commercialization of agriculture, the foods of our ancestors were rich in a myriad of bacteria. Foods harvested from the soil had a huge array of bacteria, some of which were well suited to benefit the gastrointestinal (GI) system. For instance, bacteria in the large bowel or colon synthesize Vitamin K. This vitamin has many roles, but its best known role is the promotion of factors that stop bleeding.

As 4Life began to research the benefits of probiotics for a healthy and functional immune system, it became very clear that probiotics possess many attributes that remain largely unappreciated by the medical community and the people it serves. The strains of probiotics we chose for 4Life Probiotics have been shown by research to persist in the GI tract. Not all strains have this characteristic. In the GI tract, these probiotics attach to the cells, taking up the space that potential pathogens need to invade and producing natural resistance factors that retard pathogens.

4Life's interest in probiotics piqued as 4Life learned that research demonstrates their role in facilitating effective immune functions in a way that complements the support provided by 4Life Transfer Factor. 4Life Probiotics are shown to help support Natural Killer (NK) cell function, as well as some innate functions of white blood cells. In the GI tract, messages from probiotics move into the immune cells of the GI system. The effects of this communication helps support appropriate immune system response by modulating overactive immune reactions system wide.

Clearly, modern science now reveals what our ancestors experienced. Probiotics are essential for our health and wellness and they are ready to serve us well as a necessary part of our regular diet.
