Scientists from the National Spanish Research Council in Valencia, Spain, are researching whether dietary changes that include probiotics and/or prebiotics may help alleviate the severity of celiac disease for some patients.
The respected Medical News Today reports: “According to a new research study appearing in the May 2010 print issue of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology, differing intestinal bacteria in celiac patients could influence inflammation to varying degrees.”.
Most consumers have heard of probiotics. There is a wide choice of yogurts and other supplements containing these ‘gut friendly’ bacteria. But prebiotics are less well known. Yet prebiotics help probiotics to function effectively inside the digestive system. The only problem has been that until now it wasn’t possible to store probiotics and prebiotics in the same container because they would neutralize each other. But now healthcare specialist Biotivia has come up with a unique solution called Florativia.
James Betz, Biotivia’s CEO, explains: “We’ve developed a new single-serving, daily-dose vial in which the prebiotics are stored within the cap. Just before taking Florativia you press and twist the lid to release the prebiotics … shake to mix the contents … and swallow. The forest fruit liquid is not only delicious but also supports the probiotics and prebiotics. We believe that Florativia is the first complete synergistic prebiotic/probiotic supplement to come to market.”
Betz continues: “Thanks to our prebiotics, the unique blend of probiotics in Florativia bring maximum benefits. People who are just using probiotics to bring intestine and bowel relief will be amazed by the results. This system is way ahead of probiotic-only supplements and functional foods.”
Florativia contains four research-proven probiotic strains: Bifidobacterium infantis, Bacillus clausii, Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus reuteri. Biotivia have also added two stomach soothing Mediterranean herbs: camomile and green anise.
A one-month course of Florativia costs $49.96. Customers buying a three-month course receive a 32% discount.
