Help combat irritable bowel syndrome with probiotics

New York City, N.Y, October 12, 2010 — Recent studies have shown that the use of probiotic supplements can relieve some of the symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome by replenishing the gut with the depleted or disturbed bacterial balance. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is caused by an imbalance or lack of the bacterial strain ‘Lactobacillus’ in the intestines and can cause much abdominal discomfort and pain.

Probiotics have been shown to have an overall positive effect on human health including into the problems associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other gastrointestinal problems.

James Betz, founder and CEO of bioceutical firm Biotivia said: “Probiotics are a really important bacteria that we all need to consume but our findings have found that they work even better when prebiotics are also introduced into the diet. We have been working for two years into finding a sustainable way of putting both prebiotics and probiotics together, as they neutralize each other when introduced together, and we came up with Florativia with its unique delivery system.”

Florativia is a synbiotic, a complex of both probiotics and prebiotics in one supplement that work together to improve the “friendly flora” of the human intestine. It was created because a probiotic, without its prebiotic food, does not survive well in the digestive system.

To ensure the the 16 billion healthy probiotics are able to thrive in the intestinal tract, the prebiotics greatly improve the ability of the probiotics to live in the colon and remain viable where it can better eliminate the harmful bacteria.

Betz continues: “With our new synbiotic formula we have created a truly effective health supplement that can help to prevent the suffering associated with irritable bowel syndrome, poor digestive system, depleted gut bacteria from taking antibiotics and those with urinary tract problems. It has also been shown to boost the immune system and to create a healthy gut environment.”
