Ther-Biotic® Senior Formula

This high-CFU probiotic supplement is formulated for men and women over the age of 60 years to support a healthy, balanced, and diverse
gastrointestinal microbiota. Substantial amounts of Bifidobacterium species known to decline with aging are supplied to support healthy
gastrointestinal (GI) function. Several Lactobacilllus species are also included to provide additional benefit for the immune system.†
Probiotics are beneficial living microorganisms that, when taken in adequate amounts, support healthy gastrointestinal and immune system
function.†
As individuals age there is a gradual decline in populations of probiotic bacteria. Stress, state of overall health, exposure to toxins,
or use of antibiotics and certain medications can also reduce the numbers of beneficial bacteria, which can negatively impact overall health.
Routine probiotic nutritional supplementation can support populations of beneficial microorganisms and maintain a healthy, balanced
gastrointestinal microbiota.†
• 10-species probiotic formula supports GI function:†
Maintaining probiotic balance is important to aid proper digestion, promote
bowel regularity, support healthy inflammation metabolism in the gut, and facilitate the elimination of by-products from the intestinal
tract.†
By blending together 5 Bifidobacterium species important for the colon with 5 Lactobacillus species that normally predominate
in the small intestine, this probiotic formula offers comprehensive benefits for the healthy function of the entire gastrointestinal tract.
Probiotic species in this formula are capable of favorably shifting the microbial balance in the intestines towards more salutary species,
supporting healthy bowel function.
• Provides substantial amounts of Bifidobacterium species: Aging is associated with changes in the composition and diversity of
the microbiota as well as alterations in gut microbial activities. With advancing age, there are reductions in numbers and diversity of
Bifidobacterium species. These species are important for colonic health and function, as they promote production of short-chain fatty
acids. Short-chain fatty acids beneficially increase the intestinal acidity (lower pH) and provide critical nourishment for cells lining the
small intestine and colon. They also enhance the absorption of essential minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) in the colon, assist
intestinal reabsorption of water (which helps make stools easier to pass), and enhance intestinal barrier function.
• Enhances immune function:†
Age-related changes in immune function often seen in the elderly has been linked to alterations in
the gut microbiota. Probiotics have been found to help support immune function in several ways by enhancing innate and acquired
immunity, modulating immune tolerance, and augmenting gastrointestinal immune responsiveness.†
To support immune function
and a healthy adult gut microbiota, Ther-Biotic® Senior Formula supplies several Lactobacillus species with documented immunesupportive
properties.†
• Protective delivery system: To be effective, the living organisms in probiotic supplements must survive exposure to stomach acids as
they travel to the small intestine and colon. Ther-Biotic® Senior Formula utilizes a proprietary technology that protects probiotics against
destruction by harsh gastric conditions, shown in vitro to deliver more live microorganisms than unprotected probiotic formulations.
