NutraFlora is a pleasant-tasting, concentrated source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a non-digestible carbohydrate which aids the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria such as bifidus and acidophilus
How does NutraFlora work?
NutraFlora passes to the lower intestines undigested where it becomes a food source for healthy native bacteria. Keeping these friendly bacteria healthy and happy helps them to defend the lower intestinal tract from bad bacteria that may cause illness.

How does NutraFlora enhance calcium and magnesium absorption?
When NutraFlora supports probiotic bacteria in the intestine, these beneficial cultures produce short chain fatty acids (SCFA). These acids are crucial for health. They increase calcium carriers in the gut and keep calcium and magnesium in an optimal solution for enhanced absorption.
How does NutraFlora support cholesterol metabolism?
The short chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced by beneficial intestinal cultures are highly beneficial substances. One of these fatty acids, propionate, works in the liver to reduce cholesterol production. Other benefits of SCFA's include the ability to bind with cholesterol and bile acids in the intestine to move them out quickly keeping them from circulating back to the liver to be recycled into new cholesterol.
Human studies document an increase in beneficial bifido bacteria when FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) is ingested. NutraFlora is the highest quality FOS available. The Japanese use FOS in many food products including soft drinks, cookies, cereals, and candies. FOS is not digested by the human digestive process, but instead is used as food by bifidobacteria, promoting their proliferation.
