Flora 300-14 7 Day Intensive

Flora 300-14 is the highest potency probiotic formula for intensive use for both women and men with 14 unique probiotic acid resistant strains and 300 billion active probiotic bacteria per capsule. Flora 300-7 is an intensive probiotic program designed to repopulate flora populations effectively in 7 days. This unique formula supports digestive and immune health and is designed to restore microbial balance after times of digestive stress. It includes genera that have demonstrated excellent adhesion to human epithelial cells. Intestinal health is vital to overall health. Designed to maintain intestinal health, Flora 300-14 provides 300 billion active bacteria across 14 unique probiotic strains that are naturally found in the digestive system, and helps to restore and maintain the balance of healthy probiotics. Flora 300-14 is tested free from gluten, dairy products, soy, GMOs, glyphosate, pesticides, herbicides and magnesium stearate. 

The bacteria cultures in Flora 300-14 are well-known lactic acid bacteria, which are recommended for the entire family, including children over the age of five. Lactic acid bacteria are part of a normal intestinal flora and are considered good intestinal bacteria. Flora 300-14 contains lactic acid bacteria which can be used regularly all year round or periodically in connection to, for example, travels abroad. Flora 300-14 is also suitable to be used together with the intake of antibiotics. Wait for two hours from the moment the antibiotics have been ingested before you take probiotics. Probiotics should be taken with food. 

Several different probiotic strains

Taking several different probiotic strains is positive because different strains have different properties and thrive in the different acidity environments found in the gastrointestinal tract. The intestinal mucosa is renewed regularly and needs several types of active bacteria. 

Probiotics designed to be taken regularly with food

This probiotic is designed to be taken regularly throughout the year. It should be taken with food and stored in the refrigerator. 

Probiotics and antibiotics

There are times when antibiotics are necessary. However, antibiotics reduce the overall diversity of the gut microbiota. Antibiotics also disrupt the balance that exists between the various species in the gut flora. In addition, antibiotics cause a decrease in species diversity, which can lead to the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria and the overgrowth of fungi and Candida. 

If antibiotics are needed, the daily dose of the probiotics should be doubled two weeks before starting the antibiotics, during the antibiotics and three to four weeks after the antibiotic treatment is over. Then return to the recommended daily dose. 

Probiotics should be taken with food and as far away from the time of day taking the antibiotic. If you take antibiotics three times a day with meals, take probiotics together with an extra snack during the day, spread out as far away from the time of day that the antibiotic is ingested.

There are several high-quality randomized, placebo-controlled studies showing that probiotics reduce the negative side effects as well as infections in the gastrointestinal tract caused by antibiotics. In a study, patients who received antibiotics were also given probiotics or placebo (ineffective placebo capsules). 34% of those who received ineffective placebo capsules experienced antibiotic-related diarrhea while only 12% of those who received probiotics experienced diarrhea. 17% of those who received the ineffective placebo capsules experienced diarrhea from the severe intestinal pathogen Clostridium difficile, while none of those who received probiotics experienced these symptoms. 

Start with probiotics a couple of weeks before you start taking antibiotics, during the antibiotic treatment and three to four weeks after the antibiotic treatment is over. 

Store in the refrigerator

This probiotics is a refrigerated item that must be placed in a refrigerator as soon as you receive it. However, the active bacteria survives transportation within the EU, even at room temperature.
