What is ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics?
Probiotics are beneficial microorganism, primarily bacteria, but also yeasts and other microorganism, that live within our digestive tract. Research indicates that these organisms may provide us with a number of health benefits. Antibiotic medicines and the modern western diet may significantly reduce these naturally occurring organisms. This may lead to an increased sensitivity in the digestive tract, a weakened immune system, and an environment that is more welcoming to harmful bacteria.
Our ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics is a probiotic blend that contains 50 billion colony forming units (CFU) in each acid-resistant vegetarian capsule. It is one of the most concentrated, most powerful probiotic formulas on the market!
ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics includes Bifidobacterium lactis (20 billion CFU), Lactobacillus acidophilus (20 billion CFU), B. longum (2.5 billion CFU), L. casei (2.5 billion CFU), L. plantarum (2.5 billion CFU), B. breve (1 billion CFU), L. salvarius (1 billion CFU), and L. bulgaricus (500 million CFU).
There is now a significant body of evidence that suggests that probiotic supplements may help support immune function, fight lactose-intolerance symptoms, fight flare-ups of inflammatory bowel syndrome, and support healthy digestion. Probiotics may also help provide the body with a level of resistance to food and other allergies.
Why 50 Billion CFUs? It is estimated that there are 100 TRILLION microorganisms living in a healthy digestive tract. So whether you're trying to recolonize your digestive tract after taking a course of antibiotics, or if you are just trying to support healthy digestion, it takes a lot of probiotics to make a difference.
Be sure to see all Probiotic Supplements that we sell.
Why Is Our ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics Better?
Our ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics product was designed for those who may need a more robust probiotic blend than offered by our Super Lactobacillus Probiotics, which contains 11 Billion CFUs per serving from 4 different strains. ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics contains 50 Billion colony forming units from 8 carefully selected strains of probiotics. Many probiotics are fragile and do not survive encapsulation, shipping and the digestive tract, but that is not the case with strains in ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics!
In addition to selecting the most beneficial strains that are more durable, we encapsulated them in an innovative new vegetarian capsule that is especially well-suited for use with probiotics. The biggest enemy of any probiotic formula is moisture, and all capsule shells actually contain water. But these new capsules, DR Caps®, contain only 4%-6% moisture, about one third of the moisture in a traditional gelatin capsule. What's even more exciting about these capsules is that they are acid-resistant. This helps ensure that the probiotics stay protected from the acid environment of the stomach, and are only released in the basic (non-acidic) environment of the intestines, their natural environment. Whole Health is one of the first companies in the world utilizing this technology on a probiotic. All of this combines to make this a particularly effective, state of the art, probiotics product.
All of our probiotics are shelf stable, and our 50 Billion CFU count is guaranteed--at room temperature--through expiration. Most other products are labeled for bacterial colony count "at time of manufacturing," meaning that by the time you get it, 3 months, 6 months, or even a year later, the CFU count may be significantly lower. Like all our products it is also backed by our unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee!

Background on the Potential Benefits of Probiotics:
There are "good" bacteria and "bad" bacteria. Probiotics are good bacteria that positively improve the microflora balance in your digestive system. This may lead to improved digestion and an increased resistance to the growth of harmful bacteria. This also may lead to improved immunity and resistance to certain infections.
Probiotics May Provide an Immune System Boost:
"Good" bacteria, like the bacteria in ExtraFlora™ 50 Billion CFU Probiotics, create natural acid compounds in the intestine (lactic acid, acetic acid, etc.) that create an environment in which many harmful bacteria can not survive. This may be where the primary immunity function boost comes from probiotics. Additionally, probiotics produce bacteriocins which are lethal protein or lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes that destroy other bad bacteria strains.
Probiotics May Help with Lactose Intolerance:
Studies have shown that using probiotics may help with the symptoms associated with lactose intolerance, namely bloating and discomfort. This is done by the lactobacillus producing lactase. Milk-sugar needs to be digested with lactase and lactose intolerant people typically do not produce it, or product it in adequate amounts.
Probiotics May Help with Gastrointestinal Distress:
Gastrointestinal distress is often caused by harmful intestinal microflora. Use of probiotics has been shown to decrease the intestinal symptoms associated with these maladies by reducing or eliminating the harmful bacterias which can cause these symptoms.
Candida Related Health Issues:
Probiotics may be an helpful for urinary tract/vaginal infections. The urinary tract and vaginal area are occupied by literally billions of bacteria cells of many different types and varieties. It is an environment that is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this includes harmful bacteria. In high quantity, these harmful bacteria can lead to infections, particularly the common “yeast infections.” As they do in the digestive tract, probiotics may also have a capacity to reduce harmful bacteria.
Probiotics Help Support Healthy Digestion:
Using probiotics may decrease the likelihood of having pathogenic Diarrhea as well as speed the recovery after Diarrhea. Pathogenic Diarrhea is the diarrhea most often associated with bad water or undercooked foods. Many a traveler to Mexico has incurred this form of "Montezuma’s Revenge" in the form of gastrointestinal distress and severe diarrhea. Probiotic’s help to fight those bad bacteria. They also can help with diarrhea caused by antibiotics by replacing the good bacteria needed for healthy digestion. Furthermore, once a person has suffered from diarrhea it is often difficult to get healthy digestion back in gear. Probiotics can speed that process of getting back on track with normal digestion.
Probiotics May Help with Food and Other Allergies:
Several studies have shown that probiotics may reduce a person’s susceptibility or severity of reaction to food allergies. Additionally, an overall reduction in skin and respiratory allergic reactions (including rhinitis) have been observed in people who use probiotics. This may indicate that not only do probiotics help stamp out digestive bacteria that an allergic person’s body has difficult processing through a bacterial mechanism, but also boosts the immunity and anti-inflammatory response to allergens.
Probiotics May Help with Canker Sores:
We don’t know what causes canker sores, although many feel they are stress related. However, probiotics may help reduce the incidence of canker sores, specifically lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bulgaris. Some studies indicate that the probiotics help, others indicate that they do not. Obviously, more studies are needed to clarify the impact of probiotics on canker sores.
