Ther-Biotic® Factor 6

A highly concentrated formula: The potency of a probiotic formula is measured by the total colony-forming unit (CFU), count of live
bacterial cells capable of growth. Ther-Biotic® Factor 6 is highly concentrated, providing 100 billion CFU per capsule. Lower
concentration products typically contain 1 to 3 billion CFU. This more concentrated blend, created using precise quality standards
to ensure potency and viability, provides a powerful way to replenish beneficial bacteria for individuals who require a high level of
gastrointestinal support.†

• Supports gastrointestinal function:† The combination of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotic species provides broad support
through the small and large intestine (also called the colon) to promote balance of the gut microbiota.† Lactobacillus species are the most
common beneficial bacteria found in the small intestine while Bifidobacterium reside primarily in the colon, where they play a critical role in
immune signaling and motility. A healthy gut microbiota supports numerous functions critical to health including: proper digestion, bowel
regularity, balanced immune response, tight intestinal barrier, and sufficient elimination of toxic byproducts from the digestive tract.
†
• Supports microbiota balance:† The probiotic species in Ther-Biotic® Factor 6 provides a high-CFU blend of 6 different probiotic species.
A diverse spectrum of probiotic species may help to favorably shift the balance of gut microbiota towards more beneficial species. Some
suggested mechanisms for producing this benefit include: competing with unfavorable microorganisms for nutrients and living space,
producing compounds unfavorable to survival of other bacterial species, and supporting the body’s immune response.†
• Protective delivery system: To be effective, the living organisms in a probiotic supplement must survive exposure to stomach acid as
they make their way to the small intestine and colon. Ther-Biotic® Factor 6 uses InTactic®, a proprietary extract from seaweed, to protect
probiotics against destruction by harsh gastric conditions, resulting in significantly more live microorganisms delivered to the small
intestine than unprotected probiotic formulations.†
