NEW and            UPDATED

FLORA SOURCE MICROORGANISM DETAILS

You will be given the URL for the NEW, UP-TO-DATE listing of the
listed contents of the Flora Source Bottle ....  this enables you to
know what each listed microorganism "means".

You will get explanations like I've never seen before (and I think that
possibly, you have not either). So, here is the location of:

Get the STORY   about        THE 16 STRAINS       Do Check it out

In March, 2005, we received the news and information as below:

GOOD NEWS  ---  Over the years, we've heard from customers who claimed that the
size [of the capsules] was "not easy to take" and often opted for "powder version".

About the    NEW & IMPROVED FLORA SOURCE CAPSULES 
This is in compliance with our promise to "tell it like it is" and to always let
you know the latest information about any MBA product presentation. 

It seems that some of the information in the above --- up-dates all of us as to
what the product facts are NOW!

    Below is the previous listing .... it was good, but now
you will have much more.

 

FLORA SOURCE INGREDIENTS

This applies to all listed Supplements Facts

SPECIAL NOTE = Now July, 2003
Know this =  the "NEW VERSION" contains Improved 16 strains. 

PLUS = "NO REFRIGERATION NEEDED"

 See listing below:

The Ingredients listed below are "for your information.  The Lab works to improve the product on a continuous basis.

I've been doing my web sites for over 12 years.  The following explanation (which I purposely still show the contents of the "OLD" bottle contents ---Yet, just received "word" from the
Lab that someone contacted them and complained that my site shows that there are those two
strains --- BUT THEY WERE THERE IN THE OLD VERSION --- NOT SO NOW.

That is why I show the Old and the New contents.  WOW

So, I will now delete the listing as shown on the site that has been active for about
2 years -- no one else ever seemed to "get confused".  Suppose, I should not always
assume it helps someone to know that Flora Source is always endeavoring to find
better microorganisms to do a better health improving job.

 

"Old" 16 STRAINS  

 

See above for why it is no longer shown

"NEW"  16 STRAINS  

        Bifidobacterium bifidum
        Bifidobacterium breve
        Bifidobacterium infantis
        Bifidobacterium lactis
        Bifidobacterium longum
        Lactobacillus acidophilus
        Lactobacillus brevis
        Lactobacillus bulgaricus
        Lactobacillus casai
        Lactobacillus gasseri
        Lactobacillus paracasei
        Lactobacillus plantarum
        Lactobacillus rhamnosus
        Lactobacillus salivarius
        Lactobacillus lactis
        Streptococcus thermophilus

Other ingredients: Rice Starch

"There are many factors that have influenced our decision to make the above  changes.
B. breve and L. gasseri will take the place of L. acidopilus DDS-1 and L. sporogenes.

The new strains have shown many positive results in recent studies.  B. breve is
beneficial for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease,  prevents rotavirus-
induced diarrhea and activates the humeral immune system.

L. gasseri has effects on both suppressing H. pylori and reducing gastric mucosal
inflammation, and hypocholesterolemic effect."

Based on the changes in the formulation, improved strains and streamlined processes
the new formula will have the following advantages:

* Improved stability due to disaccharide-encapsulated strains.                                   

* Enhanced viability attributed to our proprietary BioBac technology                      
and cold packaging process.                   

* Increased shelf life due to use of V-Caps, Kosher- and Halal-certified capsules.

* Improved consumer recognition attributed to more  attractive label.                    

The new disaccharide-encapsulated strains show 90 % survival rate at room
temperature (25º C) six months after manufacturing.  

Progressively throughout the year we will be exchanging more strains with the
disaccharide-encapsulated counterparts.  These changes will result
in increased shelf life and improved stability.

The customers will get more benefits than ever before
from this new formula.

                 

Take 2 capsules daily with milk or water before breakfast (or any meal). 

After two weeks, reduce to 1 capsule daily or as directed by a 
health care professional / practitioner.

NO REFRIGERATION NEEDED. 

Note:  When I asked the lab for clarification, I was told that "If one wishes to refrigerate
the product.  Do it.  It's just that NOW, it does not have to be refrigerated". 

FLORA SOURCE continues to be the most powerful probiotic available. 

It contains 30 billion viable cells per gram, guaranteed at time of manufacture --
with 16 different valuable strains (this is applicable to the latest production 
as listed in the "NEW 16 STRAINS" above).

We also requested the lab to give more "words" that explain "What's New"?

The lab introduces technological advances in micro-encapsulation process !!!

* The Standard Process basically adds molten (heated) polymer (long chain
of molecule) to a "cluster" of cells, thereby killing all those cells on the
outside of the cluster.  Unlike  standard micro encapsulation process, which
deleterious cells, the process utilizes a stabilizer technology that is far,
more gentle on cells.  We "absorb" (a long chain of molecules which forms
the protective coating clings to cells) a polymer to individual cells thereby
protecting EACH cell and do this at low or room temperature.  

It is truly an innovating process and difficult to achieve as compared to
 standard micro encapsulation process."

We will now add more information from the Lab:

The lab is improving its probiotic formulation and refining the manufacturing
processes.  Recently made some decisions that will affect the way "we formulate
and manufacture our probiotic materials".  Changes started March, 2003.

The Changes:

* We will be adding disaccharide-encapsulated, room-temperature stable
strains throughout 2003

* We will no longer carry spore-forming bacteria                                        

* We will no longer include ascorbic acid in our formulas                           

* We will be updating the formula with two new strains                             
(listed in the New Version = see listing above)                       

It has been our understanding that:

The lab which produces FLORA SOURCE constantly endeavors to upgrade and
present the latest and most effective-for-the-purpose microorganisms in the
product.  Each manufacturing run will contain the microorganisms they feel
are the best for health improvement using Flora Source.

Just so you know, current production is with the 16 strains. = GOOD !
