Frequently Asked Questions
What is Flora Starr and how will it help me?
Probiotics are living microorganisms (good bacteria like acidophilus and bifidus) that when taken orally, colonize the gut, producing protective benefits. The foods we eat often expose us to harmful bacteria and probiotics attack those bad bacteria. Probiotics prevent harmful bacteria from infecting the gut avoiding illness. Flora Starr is a high quality broad-spectrum probiotic formulation.
Why do I need Flora Starr when taking antibiotics?
The intestines are home to over 400 different healthy bacteria that keep us alive and well. The intestines are also home to unhealthy bacteria kept in check by the good bacteria. The ratio of good to bad bacteria is about 85% to 15%. Antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria indiscriminately. Flora Starr returns the good bacteria to the gut, helping to prevent diarrhea and other intestinal discomfort. Probiotics also help prevent Candida Albicans, or yeast infection often associated with antibiotic treatment and poor diet.
Why should I take daily doses of Flora Starr?
Studies show that probiotics can help in the following ways:
- Support the immune system avoiding illness and infection
- Aid in nutrient absorption and synthesis of B vitamins and essential fatty acids
- Protects dental health and helps avoid bad breath
- Helps reduce LDL cholesterol
- Helps control childhood eczema, Leaky Gut Syndrome, and allergies
- Helps stop travelers diarrhea and food poisoning
- Fights yeast infections and supportive in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
Why does Flora Starr have two capsules in a dose?
Flora Starr is a one of a kind broad-spectrum multi-probiotic providing two different types of probiotic care. Because of the volume of ingredients, two capsules are needed to limit size of the capsules.
How do I use Flora Starr?
One packet of capsules per day is the maintenance dose for healthy individuals. Your practitioner may have you use more if you are taking antibiotics or if you have diarrhea or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Capsules can be opened and sprinkled on foods or added to yogurt or applesauce for children or adults who do not swallow capsules.
What other things impact healthy gut flora?
The normal 85% (good) to 15% (bad) healthy gut flora ratios can be disturbed by: stress, refined carbohydrates, sugar, fluoride, chlorine, poor diet, poor hygiene, poor health, and prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Medications for ulcers and reflux disease negatively effect healthy gut flora.
What is Saccharomyces Boulardii?
Saccharomyces Boulardii promotes the growth of good bacteria and protects the gut from bad microorganisms that can cause diarrhea. Saccharomyces Boulardii kills pathogenic bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella and Clostridium difficile. It is non-pathogenic good yeast and not a bacterium like acidophilus or bifidus.
What is the purpose FOS (fructooligosaccharides) in Flora Starr?
FOS is a healthy fiber that good bacteria eat causing them to proliferate and colonize the gut.
Do probiotics like Flora Starr have any side effects?
There are no known side effects in any studies in the past fifty years of research. Larger doses of probiotic seem to be even more effective in stopping diarrhea than standard doses. Flora Starr is all-natural and contains no fillers or lactose.
