What is a Probiotic?

Plain and simple answer:  It is healthy bacteria for your tummy. :-) Defined probiotic means, "for life."

Just as yogurt has active cultures, so does a probiotic. MiVitality is the result of over 20 years of research and even better, it is Certified Organic!

My whole family has reaped a multitude of health benefits since beginning a daily regime of MiVitality. My IBS is non-existent, Marty's eczema has cleared up, and my sweet doxie, Dixie, who has diabetes, is having much better digestion which aids in her regulation of glucose.  :-)

I highly recommend while consuming  today's over-processed, low nutrient food supply, that everyone take a probiotic supplement!
 

Story time...

Almost 100 years ago, the Russian born bacteriologist and 1908 Nobel Laureate, Ilya Mechnikov, stated: “Death begins in the colon.”

In his groundbreaking book Prolongation of Life, Mechnikov documented in detail the unusually lengthy life spans of several societies that practiced eating fermented foods and special bacterial cultures called kefirs. He made consistent observations of 100+ year-old men and women that were still leading highly active and healthy lives! It was Professor Ilya Mechnikov that coined the term “probiotic” to describe friendly bacteria. His research made a direct link between human longevity and the necessity of maintaining a healthy balance of probiotics in the body.

Today, almost a century later...

Brilliant medical researchers from all over the world are refocused on the importance of probiotics in the diet, quietly reshaping the way medical science views health. Building on Mechnikov’s early research, their vital new discoveries are bringing more and more credence to this startling medical evidence:

“Up to 90% of all known human illness and disease can be traced back to an unhealthy colon!”
 

Why Vitamins are not Enough

Once harmful toxin-producing bacteria and fungi take over in the gastrointestinal tract, our immune system has become severely compromised. Given our exposure to stress, toxic chemicals, antibiotics, steroidal drugs and carcinogenic substances, it is a must that we proactively guard the health of our gut and  supplement with probiotics every day.  Without the correct balance of 85% probiotic bacteria to 15% pathogenic bacteria, some form of physical disease is likely to manifest itself. Maintaining this critical ratio is the single most important thing we can do to ensure good health and longevity.

We are exposed to BILLIONS OF METRIC TONS OF POLLUTANTS in our everyday lives. Lead, mercury, cadmium (plus over 4500 other toxic heavy metal by-products), drugs, vaccines, and a host of other dangers are wreaking (creating) havoc in our bodies. As our toxin levels rise and go unchecked, our immune system and other mission critical processes in our body become dangerously compromised and begin to fail.

The Magic Cycle

Bacteria have no teeth, but rather produce enzymes. These enzymes then identify, digest and deliver nutrients where they need to go. You have tens of trillions of cells, each of which needs 100,000 enzymes to function correctly.

It is enzymes that are responsible for every metabolic process in your body.

If there is a deficit of friendly (probiotic) bacteria in the human gut, then there is a deficit of enzymes. Without these vital enzymes, nutrients do not get used. This lack of uptake of nutrients is at the heart of what causes most of the disorders in the human body. You can consume the best nutrients in the world, but if you cannot digest and assimilate them, then everything is lost.

How Bacteria Works Miracles in our Body

Bacteria are at the base of all life on this planet. They were the original life and they most certainly will be the last, because absolutely no living thing on earth can exist without them. Understanding how bacteria operates and rules the body is often the missing link in understanding the demise of our first line of defense: The Immune System.

The proprietary strains of probiotics in In-Liven have been developed and perfected to deliver their benefits – in spite of interference from toxins.
