MAKTrek Bypass Technology. This state-of-the-art system utilizes an innovative, polysaccharide complex which acts as a protective barrier to ensure intact delivery to the small intestine. Most probiotic capsules begin to break down upon entering the acidic environment of the stomach, thus exposing their contents to destructive gastric acids and enzymes. The MAKTrek technology provided in Pro Flora Colonizer offers a new level of stability for increased survival rate of microorganisms through the GI tract. As the Pro Flora Colonizer veggie capsule begins degradation by the stomach’s acids, water enters the capsule and binds to the MAKTrek polysaccharide mixture, forming an insoluble complex which acts as a secondary protective coating. This coating protects the probiotic bacteria from the harsh acidic environment of the stomach, resulting in a copious increase in intestinal implantation for optimal health supporting benefits.

LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS (LA) inhabits the human intestine and vagina. To date, 56 species of Lactobacillus acidophilus have been identified. LA appears to enhance phagocytic activity of circulating granulocytes. LA may help prevent antibiotic–related diarrhea. In human volunteers, LA has exhibited the ability to inhibit bacteria that convert precarcinogens into carcinogens. Dairy products containing viable strains of LA have been credited with lowering cholesterol in animal experiments. It is theorized that this may be due to reduced enterohepatic circulation.

LACTOBACILLUS RHAMNOSUS (LR) has shown several promising benefits for human health. Specifically, LR has been shown to eradicate Clostridium difficile in patients with relapsing colitis. LR has been shown to potentiate intestinal immune response to rotavirus infection in children. LR seems to have some anti-cancer effects in rats. When given a chemical to induce intestinal tumors, the LR bacteria inhibited their development. LR appears to alter the initiation and promotion stages of chemically induced tumors. This may in part be due to LR’s ability to bind chemical carcinogens. By reinforcing the barrier function of the intestinal wall, LR colonization helps in the management of food allergies. Children with food allergy induced skin disorders had significant improvement with LR and BB strains of probiotics. These bacteria helped to balance the Th1-Th2 immune response in these patients. LR is better able to colonize the colon than certain other strains of LAB.

BIFIDOBACTERIUM (BB) has been shown to eradicate Campylobacter jejuni from the stools of children with enteritis. BB also seems to enhance the phagocytic activity of granulocytes. Children with food allergy induced skin disorders had significant improvement with LR and BB strains of probiotics. These bacteria helped to balance the Th1-Th2 immune response in these patients. ...
