New Chapter's Probiotic Colon
 
Probiotics with a Purpose ™

Live Probiotics for Healthy Bowel Function*
Probiotic Colon contains ten strains of live probiotics cultured together on a non-dairy food medium containing growth-stimulating prebiotic whole foods: Organic Okra, Organic Spinach, Organic Chlorella, Organic Blueberry, Organic Cumin, and Organic Ginger.

The live probiotics in Probiotic Colon, including revered probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium longum, help support optimal digestive and immune system function.*

When culturing is complete, the synbiotic-rich food medium and live probiotics are freeze-dried together, a process that preserves their potency until consumed. Once consumed, the cultured prebiotic food medium activates the probiotics and enhances their effects. Both are part of the synergistic whole that benefits the entire digestive tract and promotes healthy bowel function.*

Whole-Food Probiotics for Digestive Health and Immune Support *
The Medium is the Message!  Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that occur naturally in the human intestinal tract. Foods “cultured” with beneficial strains of probiotics such as yogurt and kefir have been used throughout history to improve overall health and vitality, and today, there are many studies reinforcing their ability to balance and promote digestive health.* Probiotics also play an important role in modulating the immune system, 70% of which is located in the gut.*

To make a probiotic supplement, selected strains of beneficial bacteria must first be cultured on a food medium, such as milk or soy. Since each strain of probiotics has an affinity for a different part of the digestive tract, and a unique mechanism of action, a product that delivers multiple strains is preferable to single strain products. As the probiotics replicate, they biotransform the food medium, breaking down nutrients and making them more bioavailable while secreting beneficial compounds into the medium called “synbiotics.” Research suggests that synbiotics are largely responsible for the benefits of probiotics. In other words, “the medium is the message”.

Most probiotic supplement manufacturers separate the probiotics from their food medium once the desired number of cultures is achieved, and therefore fail to deliver the full range of health benefits associated with eating probiotic foods. New Chapter ’s Probiotics with a Purpose™ line, however, uniquely offers multi-species blends of live probiotics with the synbiotic-rich organic growth medium intact.

Role of Probiotics

Probiotics: The Good Bacteria

Beneficial Compounds Every Body Needs
Probiotics are the live microorganisms, or healthy bacteria, which activate the body’s natural chemistries that support our health. They are most commonly found in fermented foods such as yogurt, tempeh, kefir and sauerkraut. The problem is, most Americans don’t consume nearly enough probiotic-rich, whole food. Which is why many people seek out probiotic supplements.

Immune Support, Digestion Support & Detoxification
Foods “cultured” with beneficial strains of probiotics have been used throughout history to improve overall health and vitality, and today, probiotics are the subject of an on-going study for their positive affects on promoting digestive health.* Equally important, probiotics play an important role in modulating the immune system, 70% of which is located in the gut.* Daily consumption of probiotics also improves detoxification and protection from toxins.*

Nutrient Absorption & Vitamin Synthesis
Probiotics increase nutrient absorption and improve vitamin synthesis. That’s why probiotics are the lifeblood of every single New Chapter formulation. When vitamins and minerals are cultured in live probiotics, the probiotics literally biotransform the nutrients into powerful, life giving nourishment.

The New Chapter Difference: Whole-Food Probiotics

Delivered in Organic Whole-Food Media
Most probiotic supplement makers separate the probiotics from their food medium once the desired number of cultures is achieved, and therefore fail to deliver the full range of nutrients associated with eating probiotic foods. New Chapter’s full line of Probiotics, however, offers live probiotics the way nature intended with the whole-food, organic growth medium intact. So you get the full spectrum of Nature’s benefits.

Multiple Strains
Each strain of probiotics has a purpose. Each one thrives in a different part of the digestive tract and each one works in different ways. So a product that delivers multiple strains is preferable to single strain products. That’s why you’ll find combinations of select strains of probiotics that optimize immune and digestive health in New Chapter’s Probiotic All-Flora ® and Probiotic Colon ™*.

Potency Preserved
Once our culturing process is complete, the nutrient-rich whole-food medium and live probiotics are freeze-dried together, a process that preserves their potency until consumed. Both are a part of the synergistic whole that benefits the entire digestive tract and immune system.*

Fermented Soy
The process of fermentation generates compounds called ferment metabolites, which promote immune, digestive, and cardiovascular health.* No wonder cultures that consume fermented foods regularly are amongst the healthiest people in the world! New Chapter also uses a probiotic fermentation process to “give life” to vitamins and minerals, essentially transforming them into whole food complexes that are easy to digest and absorb.

Fermented soy is one of the five sacred grains of the Chinese herbal tradition and is the foundation of “superfoods” such as tempeh and miso. Traditional cultures consumed soy only if it was fermented for good reason. While non-fermented soy can disrupt absorption and normal activity of nutritive compounds, modern science has found that fermented soy actually enhances nutritive bioavailability and promotes normal cell growth, heart, and bone health.*
