NSI® Probiotic 8-5 supports equilibrium between the good and bad bacteria that coexist in the digestive tract. Contributes to proper digestion and food absorption. How does NSI® Probiotic 8-5 work? Probiotics are friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract. These microorganisms facilitate the proper digestion and absorption of food. Probiotics also help keep unfriendly bacteria and other potentially harmful intruders from colonizing within the body. Stress, poor diet, antibiotics and oral contraceptives can throw off the balance between these “good” and “bad” bacteria. This imbalance may lead to increased yeast growth or other gastrointestinal disturbances. Probiotics are instrumental in helping maintain the healthy balance of this intestinal microflora mix. NSI® Probiotic 8-5 is a proprietary probiotic complex that delivers eight different strains of probiotic bacteria into the small intestines where they work to sustain a healthy equilibrium. It is a proprietary, vegetarian blend of beneficial non-GMO probiotics that includes L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, B. longum, B. breve, Lactococcus lactis lactis and Pediococcus acidilactici. It also contains L. rhamnosus, a unique, high producer of polysaccharides that facilitate colonization and stimulate intestinal immune response. NSI® Probiotic 8-5 is manufactured using the patented LiveBac® process for an improved probiotic shelf life, even at room temperature. In addition, we utilize Viablend™ Gastric Acid Bypass Technology. Unlike enteric coated capsules, which can become brittle and crack or chip, rendering probiotics. ineffective when exposed to gastric acids, our capsules deliver more viable organisms to the intestinal tract. NSI® Probiotic 8-5 is better because it:. -- Supplies 8 strains–5 billion probiotic microorganisms in each vegetarian capsule. -- Helps maintain proper balance between the microflora that co-exist in the digestive tract. -- Is a better value when compared to other brands

"Since I've never taken a probiotic before; I didn't know what to expect. I only knew it was suppose to replenish the good bacteria. I didn't expect to be helped with regularity, I guess thats a side benefit, and it started to work, only after a couple of days. I'm now making more trips the the bathroom, its sort of like being on a very mild laxative. Its working for me. I'll have to see what else is going to happen."

"I thought I had a pretty good diet (decent amount of fiber) and I thought my BM frequency was as good as it was going to get (every 2 days or so). I had read about probiotics and decided to give them a try. Boy, what an improvement. I now go every day, many times 2x per day. My spouse now takes them too with great results."

"I love that I don't have to refrigerate these! My husband and I have been taking them for a few weeks--we experienced a little intestinal gas for a few days, but that went away and now I have blessed regularity (harder to achieve while I'm pregnant). I plan to stay on these as one of my maintenance vitamins."

"Taking a probiotic everyday is beneficial for optimal health. This product uses a coated capsules so it will not be dissolved by the stomach acid and leaving the living organisms to the intestinal tract. This is much more efficient than eating and dairy products as most of the living cultures maybe destroyed by the strong stomach acids thus not getting the "good bacteria" to the intestinal tract. I highly recommend NSI Probiotic 8-5."

"Very smart choice. Restoring the healthy bacillus in colon, especially after having to take any kind of antibiotic, is not only smart it's absolutely necessary to get back on your feet, so to speak. This NSI Probiotic is remarkable in its effectiveness with little or NO DELAY!"
