Viva 24B Probiotics
The Probiotic That Matters
by Matol Botanical International Ltd.

What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are a class of "good" or "friendly" bacteria that are normal inhabitants of the intestinal tract. To counter the effects of nutritional imbalance, environmental pollution, stress and the impact of various illnesses, it is necessary to keep the intestines constantly supplied with lactic acid bacteria in order to regulate intestinal flora.

Supplementing our diets with an effective probiotic complex repopulates the intestinal tract with friendly strains, which improves intestinal health. Good intestinal health is crucial for immune system modulation. When the majority of your bacterial population is healthy, your body is able to resist "bad" bacteria. When there are more "bad" bacteria in your body than "good," that's when you get sick.

The human body has about 100 trillion bacterial cells from at least 400 species - 10 times the number of human cells. And that's not counting viruses and fungi. Most of these are what we call friendly or at least harmless.

Probiotics serve a multitude of functions important to our survival. Some aid in digestion, some keep harmful bacteria in check and some modulate the immune system.

Matol Viva 24B Probiotics - Nine Active Probiotic Strains
Matol Viva 24B Probiotics features nine active strains of "friendly bacteria." There are four strains from the Lactobacillus family, which are inhabitants of the small intestine that have a protective effect against infection, help with lactose intolerance and may be important in establishing immunity against infections.

There are three strains from the Bifidobacteria family, the main lactic acid bacteria of the colon. These microorganisms prevent entero-invasive bacteria, yeast and some viruses from colonizing. They also increase the diversity of protective fecal bifidobacterial populations, which provides a natural defense against invading microorganisms.

Viva 24B Probiotics also contains Streptococcus thermophilus, which can help prevent vaginal infections (including yeast infections caused by Candida Albicans) in women and urogenital infections in men and women.

Last but not least, Lactococcus lactis helps people affected by chronic diarrhea and it helps re-establish a balanced internal ecosystem.

You'll find that the majority of probiotic formulas on the market only feature Lactobacillus strains as opposed to the wide variety of strains offered in Matol's probiotic formula. It is also important to have many strains in order to keep the colon and the small intestine healthy.

24 Billion Cells Per Capsule
An additional feature of Viva 24B Probiotics is that it maximizes probiotic potency with a concentration of 24 billion active cells per capsule.

Gastric Guard Guarantee
Another way Matol ensures that our probiotic formula is fully "charged" is through our Gastric Guard Guarantee ensuring that the probiotic blend survive through the stomach acid's pH fluctuations, even 3 hours after ingestion. Most probiotic formulas on the market, including yogurts that feature probiotics don't survive past the stomach, much less make it to the gastrointestinal tract, because they are destroyed by stomach acid and bile.

Finally, Viva 24B Probiotics is veggie encapsulated in lyophilized powder form, which makes them more stable. In other words, the concentration per capsule does not vary.

Counter the Side Effects Of Antibiotics
Many researchers say that probiotics are the answer to the ever increasing problem of antibiotic resistance. Relying too heavily on antibiotics, we've sort of created another problem for ourselves. Disease germs are now more virulent and more resistant than ever before and we have antibiotics to thank for that.

Other researchers say that probiotics play an important role in stimulating the immune system. They also may prevent toxicity in foods, food and skin allergies, bacterial and viral infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, recurrent ear, bladder and yeast infections, constipation, and chronic and travellers' diarrhea. Some even suggest that probiotics can help lower blood cholesterol by degrading cancer-causing agents, which inhibit the growth of certain cancers.

Antibiotics means "against life." European doctors have, for decades already, provided their patients with probiotics whenever they prescribed antibiotics to them because they know very well that while antibiotics can kill intruding bacteria, they also kill the good bacteria in our body, hence the necessity to repopulate our friendly bacteria.

Viva 24B Probiotics Can Make A Difference
50 million North Americans suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome which causes abdominal pain, bloating, irregular bowel movements, such as diarrhea one day and constipation the next. A half million others suffer from Ulcerative Colitis, an inflammatory bowel disorder which causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding and fatigue. Viva 24B Probiotics can make a significant difference in these conditions. And unlike the drugs administered for these diseases, Viva 24B Probiotics are exceptionally safe, with no significant side effects.
