Understanding Probiotics and Gut Health

For our bodies to get the optimum benefit out of food, the intestinal tract must be healthy. Our bodies have 500 species of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Of these bacteria, Lactobacillus - a probiotic - is the most beneficial to us. Lactobacillus is contained in the supplement Laterosporus.

What are probiotics?

A probiotic assists with the provision of the proper balance of bacteria which in turn promotes health of the intestines and vagina. We need the healthy bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to fight digestive disorders (e.g., flatulence, diarrhoea, constipation) and to ensure proper absorption of all nutrients.

Why gut bacteria matter:

• 500 species of beneficial bacteria live in the digestive tract
• These bacteria support digestion, immunity, and overall health
• Proper bacterial balance is essential for optimal health
• Probiotics help maintain this critical balance

How Laterosporus Nutri-Flora Probiotic Supports Your Health

1. Supports the Digestive System

Laterosporus provides beneficial bacteria that support healthy digestion and help fight common digestive disorders.

Digestive benefits:

• Helps fight flatulence (gas)
• May help with diarrhoea
• May help with constipation
• Supports proper nutrient absorption
• Promotes healthy digestive function

2. Boosts Energy Levels

By supporting proper nutrient absorption and digestive health, Laterosporus helps ensure your body gets the maximum benefit from food, which can support healthy energy levels.

Energy support:

• Improved nutrient absorption supports energy production
• Healthy digestion reduces energy drain from digestive issues
• Optimal gut health supports overall vitality

3. Boosts Enzymatic Activities

Probiotics support the production and activity of digestive enzymes, which are essential for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

Enzymatic benefits:

• Supports digestive enzyme function
• Enhances breakdown of food
• Improves nutrient extraction from food
• Supports overall digestive efficiency

4. Provides Internal Defense Mechanism

Additionally, Laterosporus, because of the probiotic, manufactures natural antibiotics which help to guard against harmful bacteria and are most effective in the fight against infection (e.g., vaginal yeast infection).

Natural antibiotic production:

• Manufactures natural antibiotics
• Guards against harmful bacteria
• Effective in fighting infections
• Supports immune defense

5. Reduces Inflammation in the Gut

Beneficial bacteria help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, supporting overall gut health and comfort.

Anti-inflammatory benefits:

• Reduces gut inflammation
• Supports intestinal healing
• Promotes digestive comfort
• Supports healthy gut lining

6. Maintains Gut Wellness

Laterosporus therefore contributes to overall colon health and control of yeast infections.

Overall gut wellness:

• Supports colon health
• Helps control yeast infections (Candida)
• Maintains healthy bacterial balance
• Promotes long-term digestive wellness

Additional Health Benefits

Enhanced Intestinal Immunity

Another benefit of probiotics is the enhancement of intestinal immunity. Since 70% of the immune system is located in the gut, supporting gut health directly supports immune function.

Immune benefits:

• Enhances intestinal immunity
• Supports overall immune function
• Helps fight infections
• Promotes immune resilience

Vaginal Health Support

Vaginal yeast infections are caused by the fungus Candida Albicans which lives on the skin and inside the body (e.g., mouth, throat, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina). The infection is caused when the Candida Albicans multiply, which may present symptoms such as itching, burning pain when urinating, and painful intercourse.

Laterosporus helps maintain the proper balance of bacteria in the intestines and vagina, which may help prevent and control yeast infections.

Vaginal health benefits:

• Promotes healthy bacterial balance in vagina
• May help prevent vaginal yeast infections (Candida)
• May help control existing yeast infections
• Supports overall vaginal health

Cholesterol Support

Studies have also indicated that the Lactobacillus bacteria may absorb cholesterol in the intestines, which will lower the blood cholesterol levels before it gets to the arteries and causes damage.

Cardiovascular benefits:

• May help absorb cholesterol in the intestines
• May support healthy blood cholesterol levels
• Supports cardiovascular wellness

How to Use Laterosporus Nutri-Flora Probiotic

Daily Protocol:

• Dosage: 1-2 capsules before meals
• Timing: Take before meals for optimal effectiveness
• Frequency: Can be taken 1-3 times daily (before each main meal)
• Consistency: Take daily for best results

Why take before meals?

• Allows probiotics to colonize before food arrives
• Supports digestive enzyme production for the upcoming meal
• Maximizes probiotic effectiveness

Tips for Best Results:

• Take consistently at the same times each day
• Continue for at least 2-4 weeks to allow gut bacteria to establish
• Combine with a high-fiber diet (prebiotics feed probiotics)
• Stay hydrated
• Store properly to maintain probiotic viability

Supporting Your Gut Health Through Lifestyle

Nutrition for Gut Health:

• High-fiber diet: Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes feed beneficial bacteria
• Prebiotic foods: Garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, bananas, oats
• Fermented foods: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi provide additional probiotics
• Limit processed foods: Reduce sugar and artificial additives that harm gut bacteria
• Stay hydrated: Water supports digestive function

Lifestyle Factors:

• Manage stress: Chronic stress impairs gut health and microbiome balance
• Regular exercise: Physical activity supports digestive motility and gut bacteria diversity
• Quality sleep: 7-9 hours nightly supports gut health and immune function
• Limit antibiotics: Only use when medically necessary (antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria)

Understanding Bacillus Laterosporus

What makes Bacillus Laterosporus special?

• Spore-forming probiotic (more resistant to stomach acid than non-spore probiotics)
• Contains Lactobacillus bacteria
• Produces natural antibiotics
• Supports both digestive and immune health
• May help control yeast infections

Spore-forming advantage:

• Better survival through stomach acid
• More likely to reach the intestines alive
• Shelf-stable (may not require refrigeration)
• Effective colonization of the gut

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see results?

Some people notice improvements within a few days, but full benefits typically appear after 2-4 weeks of consistent use as gut bacteria establish.

Should I take this with food?

Take 1-2 capsules before meals for optimal effectiveness. This allows the probiotics to colonize before food arrives.

Can I take this with antibiotics?

Yes, but take them at least 2 hours apart. Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria, so probiotics help restore beneficial bacteria during and after antibiotic treatment.

Will this help with yeast infections?

Laterosporus may help prevent and control yeast infections (Candida) by maintaining healthy bacterial balance in the intestines and vagina. However, consult a healthcare professional for active infections.

Can I take this long-term?

Yes, probiotics are generally safe for long-term use. Gut bacteria need ongoing support, so continued use provides sustained benefits.
