ProbioPure9: Nine Strains of Healthy Human Bacteria for Intestinal & Digestive Support

Why Human Strains of Bacteria in ProbioPure9 Probiotics?

It is important to be aware that the human intestinal tract may be more sensitive to strains introduced to it than those introduced to the intestinal tracts of animals. What this means is that bacterial strains that are effective in one species of animal are not necessarily effective in another species. This is because the digestive tract varies from species to species and bacteria have to have certain characteristics in order to survive in the intestinal tract in which they are dwelling.

Specifically, bacterial strains indigenous to humans are more likely to survive in the intestinal tracts of humans than are non-human strains since they are specifically adapted to grow in the intestinal tracts of humans.1,2 They must be able to withstand stomach acid, in order to make it to the intestinal tract. They must be able to withstand intestinal fluids and they must be able to adhere to the lining of the intestinal tract to exert their greatest benefits.

Bacteria derived from dairy or other sources are less likely to remain in the intestinal tract of humans. They may afford only temporary, if any, benefits. On the other hand, human strains show better colonization and effectiveness. For this reason, each of our probiotic formulas is formulated with human strains.

How Were the Human Strains of Bacteria in ProbioPure9 Probiotics Derived?

The bacteria strains used in ProbioPure9 Probiotics were derived from single strains of bacteria donated by Microbiology Professors from the University of Tokyo and the Dokkyo Medical University of Japan. Each strain was obtained from a healthy, living subject in a one time collection. The bacteria of choice were, isolated, identified, purified and mass produced after this single collection.

Bacteria were obtained about three decades ago and have been naturally replicating in the laboratory every since for mass production. They undergo numerous tests to assure the bacteria are healthy and maintain their positive characteristics.

What about safety, you ask? Consuming bacteria is safer than eating produce from the grocery store, because consistent microscopic investigation would be impossible for produce but is commonplace where bacteria products are concerned.
