For Digestive, Immune and Mental Health

Increase Potency of Your Probiotic Supplement

• Increase the potency of your probiotics
• Prevent digestive discomforts (diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating)
• Reduce illnesses (cold/flu) and infections
• Relieve stress, anxiety and extremely low moods
• Support urinary tract health
• Starts working within hours (not days)
• Functions in both the small and large intestines
• Does not cause flatulence like some other prebiotics
• Withstands varying gut environments
• Essential to recover your gut from antibiotic use.

Floraphage is a blend of bacteriophage species, developed to support the creation of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) throughout your digestive ecosystem. Probiotics are the good bacteria your body needs to fight the bad bacteria and other organisms that threaten your health. A bacteriophage (or simply phage) is a microscopic protein that reacts with specific bacteria in your gut, creating Prebiotics - food for PRObiotics. Prebiotics enable any existing good bacteria to flourish abundantly, to maintain your optimal digestive and immune health. Phages are everywhere - in our food, the water we drink, on and inside our bodies. They are the most abundant, naturally occurring organisms on earth and have been safely used for over 90 years in our food supply, in agriculture as a gentle and non-toxic way to control the overgrowth of bacteria in crops. Floraphage is the first supplement to use these amazing microscopic proteins. At this moment, trillions of microorganisms are competing for space and nutrients in your digestive tract. Harmful bacteria are fighting against the good bacteria for their place in your gut. If the bad bacteria win the battle, the result is digestive discomfort and a weakened immune system. This is why probiotic supplementation is crucial for intestinal balance and optimal health. Aggressive strains of unwanted bacteria can sometimes outgrow and consume more resources than beneficial bacteria. This can be caused by taking antibiotics (they kill both bad and good bacteria), or processed foods and sugar, or digestive issues you're already struggling with. Live your life free from the effects of an intestinal imbalance.  

Floraphage Supports Normal Urinary Tract Health
Did you know that most Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are caused by specific bacteria that we consume in our food every day? Many people are plagued by chronic UTIs, but contrary to popular belief, this common problem is not due to bad habits or poor hygiene. When you consume food that contains certain types of unwanted bacteria, your body is able to flush out these bacteria through the urinary tract, which sometimes causes uncomfortable symptoms. Floraphage supports comfortable urinary tract function.

Floraphage Efficacy Testing and Results
To determine whether Floraphage works, especially when combined with probiotic products, we conducted several laboratory tests. Floraphage was tested in conjunction with four popular probiotic supplements to determine its ability to increase the potency or growth of each respective product.

Each product was grown in a nutrient-rich broth to mimic normal digestive conditions, until each product’s bacteria reached a specified value using optical density (OD). OD measures the amount of light that is able to scatter through a mixture, which was used to verify that the bacteria for each product had started to grow.

Once each product reached an OD of .2 (indicating that the bacteria were growing and no longer dormant), a one milliliter sampling of each product was grown with Floraphage and one was grown without (control group). Each of the four tested products showed improvement when grown with Floraphage.

The average increase in colony forming unit (CFU) activity (measurement of probiotic bacteria growth) for the four products was 2,400% versus the control group (without Floraphage). Overall, Floraphage was able to increase the growth rate of supplemented probiotics by an average of 24 times compared with the control group.

These results show that Floraphage is an excellent product to take in conjunction with a probiotic to maximize the benefits of supplemented beneficial bacteria. It’s also helpful for those who don’t take probiotics in order to maximize indigenous probiotic growth.

The following bacteria showed significant growth when combined with Floraphage, compared to growth without Floraphage:

• B. bifidum
• B. breve
• B. animalis
• B. longum
• L. acidophilus
• L. paracasei
• L. casei
• L. rhamnosus
• Lc. lactis
• B. subtilis

Floraphage is a combination of bacteriophages, which are microscopic proteins that attack a very specific type of bacteria. A phage is a tiny protein that is capable of improving the entire landscape of your digestive system.

When taken alone (or with a probiotic) the following bacteria showed significant growth when combined with Floraphage, compared to growth without Floraphage:

• B. bifidum
• B. breve
• B. animalis
• B. longum
• L. acidophilus
• L. paracasei
• L. casei
• L. rhamnosus
• Lc. lactis
• B. subtilis

Other Ingredients
Cellulose (vegetarian capsules)

Free From
dairy, gluten, soy, artificial colors and preservatives.

Floraphage is:

1. Vegetarian in accordance with the guidelines of the American Vegetarian Association.
2. Non-GMO (genetically modified organism) as defined by the National Organic Standards Board (copy of certification available by request)
3. GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA.

Directions for Use

Take alone, or in combination with a probiotic.

Take 1 to 2 capsules daily with eight ounces of water, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Floraphage can be taken at any time, with or without food. Phages are not nearly as susceptible to acid and temperature changes as probiotic organisms. Based on this fact, we recommend taking the product whenever it’s most convenient for you.

How long does it take for Floraphage to work?
Everybody is different, but according to in vitro testing, Floraphage should start working within hours of the first dose. However, benefits that can be “felt” will likely take anywhere from three to four weeks. Some may experience immediate benefits, while others may take longer, but its value to one’s health is far-reaching from its onset of use.

With or Without Antibiotic Use?
Some doctors feel it is best to wait until an antibiotic regimen is over before taking a probiotic supplement, however there is no evidence that probiotic supplementation will negatively impact the efficacy of antibiotics. Other doctors encourage patients to take probiotics while on antibiotics. Contact your healthcare provider for their direction.

Floraphage can be taken with other supplements.

Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed.

Recommended Use

Support the restoration and maintenance of your highly sensitive digestive ecosystem, that enables optimal immune health (increases probiotic activity).

Contraindications

Keep out of reach of children.
