|  |  | | Efficiency of Probiotics in Green Vibrance | |
Article By Mark Timon, M.S. Clinical Nutrition 03 March 2010 | | Filed under:
bioavailability, disinformation, green foods, probiotics, production process |  | | In the past it has been believed that the only way for probiotics to be effective in their purpose was to ingest them while in an enteric capsule. However, by cultivating specific strains of probiotic bacteria with desirable traits, we have disproved this.
Advances are regularly made in the technology used in the cultivation of probiotic bacteria. Genetic typing is now widely used in identification of probiotic bacteria. As a result, many more strains of bacteria have now been parsed from laboratory colonies that had been previously thought to be just one strain. For example, the single bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus has been shown to really contain a family of genetically related rhamnosus bacteria. Each has slightly different characteristics.
The strains of probiotics in Green Vibrance have been selected on the basis of five criteria. They are known to have more gastric resistance, enzymatic activity, bowel tolerance, immune support, and colonizing capabilities.
Gastric resistance refers to a bacteria’s ability to survive the acidic environment of the stomach. Our strains will remain alive and well in a gastric pH as low as 3. During a meal and for about an hour afterward, gastric pH sits around 5 to 6. Remember, the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. If one takes Green Vibrance during or after a meal, you have the best chance of passing the highest number of probiotic colony forming units (CFUs) along into the intestines. If one has not eaten, then the best carrier to use would be mineral water.
Enzymatic activity refers to the bacteria’s ability to break down lactose and other sugars as well as proteins through the activity of enzymes generated by the bacteria.
Bowel tolerance refers to a bacteria’s ability to survive degradation by bile secreted into the intestine by the gall bladder in response to the presence of fat. Bile can do a lot to destroy probiotic bacteria. Our species of probiotics are not affected.
Immune support refers to the probiotic bacteria’s output of natural anti-pathogenic substances. These are commonly called natural antibiotics,” and are a primary benefit derived from supplemental probiotics. By killing off or reducing the number of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract, probiotics may impede potential infection. The antibiotic potential of all our bacteria species have been thoroughly tested, and categorized. This data eliminates guesswork when seeking species that can most effectively support immunity.
Colonizing capabilities refers to how quickly one colony becomes two, or 25 billion become 50 billion. The strains in Green Vibrance double every 15 minutes once they reach the intestinal environment. Therefore, someone using Green Vibrance swallows 25 billion “bacteria,” which are actually colony forming units, or CFUs, in a single dose of Green Vibrance. Let’s imagine that, for some reason, only 20 billion exit the stomach. Maybe the meal contained a lot of fresh garlic, a vegetable that can indeed kill probiotic bacteria. Well, within 15 minutes of the bacteria reaching its native environment in the intestine, there are now 40 billion bacteria, or CFUs. One hour after that, the count is up to 640 billion bacteria.
Taking probiotics in an enteric-coated capsule would still be the best way to take them. However, the new research and development of hardier strains within our industry has been carried out in order to circumvent the delicacy of those earlier strains that were less prone to survival, and, therefore, benefited the most by delivery via an enteric-coated capsule. Timing has become the key factor in assuring survival of probiotics. As previously stated, taking probiotics or Green Vibrance about 30 to 60 minutes after a meal will actually assure the greatest survival of colony forming units.
Consider also that Green Vibrance is intended to be taken daily. Given the rapid growth of CFUs, daily re-inoculation with even a diminished number of bacteria, by chance lower than 25 billion, would nevertheless result in robust colonies of friendly intestinal bacteria.
