Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion
is a probiotic formulated specifically
for people who are engaging in or
have recently completed a course of
antibiotics. What makes Ultimate
Flora Critical Care different from other
probiotics is its high Bifidobacteria
count, the bacteria most prevalent in
your large intestine. Ultimate Flora
Critical Care is also for people who
have particularly troublesome digestive
tracts.
Antibiotic is a word that means “against
life”; they kill both our good and bad
bacteria. Maintaining your good bacteria
is important during and after the use of
antibiotics.* While doctors commonly
recommend eating yogurt or taking
probiotic supplements during and after
a course of antibiotics, most yogurts and
probiotic supplements do not provide
either enough probiotics or enough
Bifidobacteria, the most prevalent
probiotic in your digestive system.
Ultimate Flora Critical Care was
designed to support the probiotic
balance in both the small and large
intestines. Each capsule contains 30
billion live Bifidobacteria, the primary
resident of the large intestine. To help
maintain the balance of probiotics in
the small intestine, Ultimate Flora
Critical Care provides 20 billion live
Lactobacillus cultures.
Bifidobacteria are critical to the large
intestine because they:
• Help to manufacture vitamin K, a
needed vitamin for blood clotting
• Help to manufacture B vitamins,
including B12
• Ferment soluble fiber and produce
a short-chain fatty acid called butyric
acid, a substance that feeds the cells
of the colon
• Produce anti-bacterial compounds
and acids, which create an unfriendly
environment for potentially harmful
bacteria
• Promote regularity
The Lactobacillus species produce
enzymes to help digest foods and antibacterial
compounds and acids to create
an unfriendly environment for harmful
bacteria in the small intestine. When
using probiotics, it’s important to choose
a probiotic supplement that supports
both sections of the intestinal tract. For
critical care, that supplement is Ultimate
Flora Critical Care 50 Billion.
