Probiotic Breakthrough Benefits

1. Supports Gut Barrier Health and Nutrient Absorption*

   When the gut barrier is supported by probiotics, it becomes stronger, better balanced, and more efficient at digestion and nutrient absorption. A leaky gut often allows bacterial components or partially digested food particles into the bloodstream, leading to suboptimal health.

   Probiotic Breakthrough can support the leaky gut repair process, which in turn may help with normal immune responses to food.*

2. Helps Maintain Digestive Function and Supports Digestive Symptoms*

   Probiotics plus prebiotics can help support digestive regularity and function. Probiotic Breakthrough produces protein-digesting enzymes needed for a protein breakdown. L. plantarum also ferments fibers and produces beneficial substances that support the gut barrier, balanced gut immune system, and gut cells' energy levels.*

3. Helps Maintain the Growth Control of Bad Bacteria, Viruses, and Yeasts in the Gut*

   L. plantarum OM may help prevent suboptimal bacteria from overcrowding your gut and leave beneficial bacteria intact.*

4. May help improve Mood, Healthy Stress Response, and Brain Health*

   L. plantarum produces neurotransmitters and ensures that they are in balance with each other.

   L. plantarum also supports the gut-brain axis to support healthy stress response, so some people may find that it improves their mood, ability to handle stress, and cognitive function.

5. Support Healthy Immune Function*

   A healthy immune system should have a robust and balanced function. Most of your immune system is in the gut. By interacting with your gut immune system and supporting a healthy gut barrier, Probiotic Breakthrough supports healthy immune function.*

6. Support healthy vaginal flora*

   The health of your vaginal flora reflects the health of your gut flora. If one is suboptimal, the other will follow. Most bacteria in the vagina are lactobacilli. As a powerful lactobacillus, Probiotic Breakthrough can support your vaginal flora and health.*

7. May Help Support Weight Loss In Combination With Reduced-Calorie Diet And Exercise*

   Your gut bacteria play a major role in your physique. For example, having too much suboptimal bacteria due to unhealthy diets can lead to a leaky gut. This may promote weight gain. Probiotic Breakthrough can help support strong and healthy gut barriers and flora, which may promote healthy weight loss efforts in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.*

8. Support Muscle Building Efforts

   Optimal digestive function and protein assimilation are critical for muscle building, in addition to the right diet and training program. L. plantarum OM is a proteolytic bacteria, which can support your protein digestion and assimilation.*

9. Probiotic Plus Prebiotic

   When prebiotics are added to probiotics, it is known as a synbiotic. Synbiotic refers to the synergistic combination of healthy gut bacteria, from the probiotic, and fibers that the probiotic can ferment for additional energy, provided by the prebiotic. Synbiotics tend to be more effective than probiotics alone because the bacteria’s growth and survival are enhanced by the prebiotics. The fermentation process that results from their combination also produces metabolites that further benefit our health.

How Probiotic Breakthrough Works

Most supplemental probiotics are transient visitors to your gut. While they are visiting, they share genes and produce substances that produce health benefits. They support your overall well-being by:

1. Strengthening your gut barrier by producing beneficial substances, stimulating protective mucus, or preventing suboptimal bacteria from staying in your gut
2. Competing with suboptimal bacteria for space and resources
3. Producing metabolites that can inhibit the growth of suboptimal bacteria, which can sometimes make your microbiome healthier
4. Supporting robust and balanced immune function
5. Producing enzymes to digest food and food substances we don’t have enzymes to digest
6. Processing (activating or degrading) supplements, drugs, hormones, nutrients, and neurotransmitters
7. Communicating with your brain through neurotransmitter-like substances and nerves that connect between the brain and the gut
8. Producing and activating vitamins, such as vitamin K and some B vitamins

When To Take Probiotic Breakthrough

The goal is to deliver the probiotics to your large intestine relatively intact, so you want to minimize their exposure to your stomach acid and naturally occurring digestive enzymes.

When food enters your stomach, your gut secretes digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid, so it’s best to take your probiotics on an empty stomach. However, if you get stomach upset from taking it without food or cannot take it without food for any other reason, probiotics are still beneficial when taken with meals.

Our Probiotic Breakthrough preparation (freeze-dry method) can withstand stomach acid and digestive enzymes, so you will still experience the benefits even if you take it with meals.

On average, it takes between 9 and 11 hours for food to reach the colon after ingestion. To use Probiotic Breakthrough to support protein digestion, take it in the morning. To use Probiotic Breakthrough to reduce suboptimal bacteria in the gut or improve your microbiome, take it at night before bed.

If you are taking antibiotics or supplements that may have antibacterial properties, be sure to take them at least an hour away from your probiotics.
