| Frequently
Asked Questions |
| |
| What is the recommended dosage
for NutraFlora®? |
| To get the desired health
effects, you need to take at least one gram (1/4
teaspoon) per day. We recommend taking one gram
per day for a couple of weeks, working your way
up to 2 to 4 grams per day (1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
after four weeks. |
| |
| Are there any side effects? |
| Many people never notice any side
effects. However, you may experience some mild
side effects, such as minor gas or bloating, if
you take too much NutraFlora®
too fast. These
side effects occur because your body is
adjusting to the scFOS™ and the harmful
bacteria are being crowded out and dying off. If
you experience these side effects, reduce your
consumption of NutraFlora®
for a week or
so to allow your body to adjust. |
| |
| Will
NutraFlora®
interact with any drugs or other supplements? |
| No. NutraFlora®
does not interact with drugs or other
supplements. NutraFlora®
has been safely used for more than twenty years
all over the world. |
| |
| When and how should I take
NutraFlora®? |
| You can take
NutraFlora®
any time it is convenient for you. Since
NutraFlora®
is water-soluble and available in powder form,
it can easily be added to almost any food or
beverage. NutraFlora®
will not adversely affect the flavor of your
favorite foods or beverages. |
| |
| Does
NutraFlora®
contain any dairy or other additives? |
| No. NutraFlora®
contains no milk, soy, corn, wheat, gluten, or
chemical preservatives. NutraFlora®
is all natural and
non-GMO. |
| |
| Is
NutraFlora®
safe for Diabetics? |
| Yes. Studies have been conducted
on the effect of NutraFlora®
on blood glucose and insulin levels. In each
study, NutraFlora®
had no effect on the blood sugar or insulin
levels. NutraFlora®
is safe for diabetics. |
| |
| How does
NutraFlora®
compare to Acidophilus?
|
Acidophilus is a probiotic
product - meaning it contains live strains of
friendly bacteria. NutraFlora®,
on the other hand, is a prebiotic - it
doesn't contain any live bacteria, but is a food
source for the friendly bacteria that already
inhabit your digestive system.
Some probiotic products must be refrigerated to
keep the bacteria live. Then, once taken, some
of the bacteria are killed by stomach acids and
bile before they reach the lower intestine where
they do their work. Because NutraFlora®
contains no live bacteria, it doesn't require
refrigeration or other special handling. NutraFlora®
also isn't affected by stomach acids, so 100% of
the NutraFlora®
you take reaches the lower intestine and feeds
the beneficial bacteria that naturally reside
there.
NutraFlora®
can also work together with probiotic products -
helping to ensure that the probiotics that do
reach the lower intestine are properly
nourished. |
| |
| Is
NutraFlora®
safe for children? |
| Yes. In fact,
NutraFlora®
may especially be of benefit to children on
antibiotics. However, children don't need as
much NutraFlora®
during the day as adults. We suggest that
children take about half the adult dose,
starting with about 1/8 teaspoon per day and
working up to about 1/2 teaspoon per day. |
| |
| I am healthy. Why should I use
NutraFlora®? |
| Everyone should use
NutraFlora®
to help maintain health. As we age, the friendly
bacteria in the digestive system naturally
decline in number. This can open the door to
harmful bacteria and other digestive problems. NutraFlora®
helps maintain the optimal levels of beneficial
bacteria, even as you age. The daily use of NutraFlora®
can help you stay healthy. |
| |
| Is there scientific proof that
NutraFlora®
actually works? |
| Yes. In fact, over 150 scientific
studies have been conducted on NutraFlora®.
These studies show that NutraFlora®
is safe and effective. These studies include
over 40 actual human clinical trials - more than
most supplements on the market. In addition, NutraFlora®
has been successfully used for more than ten
years in the US and Europe, and for almost 20
years in Japan. |
