Q. What makes this probiotic better than what I have?
A. In one word Proteolytic, this adds an entirely new world of uses to probiotics, it supercharges and empowers the functions probiotics can play in your intestinal system. This formula is one of the strongest proteolytic blends in the market!
Q. What does Proteolytic mean?
A. Proteolytic basically means the ability to digest proteins, What this translates to is a probiotic that can be:
- Anti Bacteria
- Anti Viral
- Anti Retro-viral
- Anti Microbial
- Anti Tumoral
Unlike most probiotics like Acidophilus, they digest sugars, which are limited in comparison to Proteolytic Probiotics
Q. Does this probiotic only digest proteins?
A. No, many of the proteolytic strains are dual purpose and still digest sugars but expand into protein digesting as well. So they can do everything and then more than the others.
Q. Do I need to take any other probiotics?
A. No Avena feels this formula covers all required strains for the ideal intestinal population. It is still a great ideal to ferment foods at home and ingest healthy intestinal flora daily!
Q. How long should I use probiotics for?
A. Most nutritionists will recommend probiotics for a minimum of 30-90 days, Avena has seen the incredible benefit probiotics can have by incorporating it into an ongoing daily lifestyle. Try taking 2-5 capsules twice every day.
Q. Will probiotics help me lose weight?
A. Absolutely! Proteolytic probiotics are the key to regaining the proper intestinal and digestive system with is vitally important for weight loss. With probiotics, you will increase your metabolism, absorb more nutrients, detoxify, which will all improve the body’s ability to lose excess body weight.
Q. Why is the product not shipped in freezer packs?
A. This formula is using heat stable bacteria such as the L.A DDS-1 which is heat stable at 23 degrees Celsius for 2 years with less than a 7% loss. We do recommend people keep it in the refrigerator whenever possible.
Q. Why Jerusalem Artichoke?
A. It is a sunflower that contains a unique F.O.S. that has been shown to not encourage the growth of Yeast or Candida while fueling and accelerating the growth of the good probiotics. It is 100% organic and whole food sourced, unlike the typical Maltodextrin found commonly in the market.
Q. Why should I avoid Maltodextrin
A. there are several reasons Avena chose to avoid Maltodextrin,1) it is a corn product and 100% GMO free corn is not available anymore, it can be called GMO free if it is at a certain level, but that doesn't mean it is 100% non GMO 2) Maltodextrin has been shown to feed both the good and the bad bacteria defeating the purpose of a prebiotic in the first place.
Q. Is it safe for children?
A. Infants are designed to receive probiotics through the mother colostrums at the moment they are born, many studies are proving the importance of early start on probiotics and the essential role they play in the healthy development of their immune systems & Gastrointestinal systems.
Q. The bottle only suggests 1 capsule?
A. Avena has developed a high activity probiotic, which is higher than what Health Canada normally suggests. While Health Canada continues to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of probiotics, Work with your own body or under the guidance of a healthcare professional while increasing the daily intake of probiotics.
Q. What is a Probiotic?
A. Probiotics are living organisms that have been shown to positively benefit your health. They live and survive in your intestinal tract.
Q. What are the requirements to be called a Probiotic in Canada?
A.. Any healthy bacteria that have received an NPN from Health Canada must meet ALL of the following requirements before it can be called a probiotic!
