Arabinogalactan
is a water-soluble polymer found in uniquely high concentrations
in the larch tree. AG, a fermentable fiber, remains
undigested in the stomach. It passes to the large
intestine, or colon, where it enhances growth of the body's
friendly bacteria, such as Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria.
Dr.
Peter D' Aamo, author of the book Eat Right for Your Type, said,
"AG is probably one of the most exciting new discoveries to
the nutraceutical industry. We already discovered its
powerful immune-enhancing benfits and ability to promote colon
health. As research continues, scientists will likely
discover further health benefits."
Lactobacillus
sporogenes also acts as a superior probiotic and has been shown
in clinical reports from Japan to be effective in assisting
digestive health. In most cases, ingestion of a minimum of
300 million spores a day is sufficient to see results.
With 100 million spores per capsule of FlaZymes, one can easily
meet this minimum requirement by taking the recommended dosage.
Lactobacillus
acidophilus, a natural inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract,
may support healthy cholesterol maintenance, inhibition of
undesirable bacteria, immune response, and promote cellular
health.
Undigested
AG is fermented in the large intestine or colon and becomes
short chain fatty acids, which may promote healthy intestinal
mucosa. AG also supports benficial gastrointestinal
bacteria like Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria found in the
body. The first AG human clinical study at the university
of Minnesota in 1998 confirmed AG's probiotic fiber and
immune-enhancing functions.
In
vitro cell studies have shown that AG stimulates the human
immune system to a greater degree than echinacea. It does
so by stimulating the "natural killer" cell function
and activating phagocytosis. In several other clinical
studies, AG supported the body in its efforts to fight unhealthy
cellular growth.
