Floraphage

Promotes optimal digestive and immune health by increasing probiotic activity.*

Floraphage is a blend of bacteriophage species developed to support the creation of beneficial bacteria throughout the digestive ecosystem. A bacteriophage, or simply phage, is a microscopic protein that reacts with specific bacteria in the gut. The resulting reaction of Floraphage with specific bacteria creates nutrients, known as prebiotics, for beneficial bacteria to consume. Prebiotics uses good bacteria to create an abundance of beneficial bacteria that can help maintain optimal digestive and immune health.*

Phages, or bacteriophages, are everywhere. They’re in our food, in the water we drink, and even on and in our bodies. Phages are the most abundant, naturally occurring organisms on earth and have been safely used for over 90 years in the food supply . Floraphage is the first dietary supplement formula to utilize these amazing microscopic proteins.

Floraphage Efficacy Testing and Results:

To determine whether Floraphage works, especially when combined with probiotic products, Arthur Andrew Medical conducted several laboratory tests. Floraphage was tested in conjunction with four popular probiotic supplements to determine its ability to increase the potency or growth of each respective product. Each product was grown in a nutrient-rich broth to mimic normal digestive conditions, until each product’s bacteria reached a specified value using optical density (OD). OD measures the amount of light that is able to scatter through a mixture, which was used to verify that the bacteria for each product had started to grow. Once each product reached an OD of 0.2, indicating that the bacteria were growing and no longer dormant, a one milliliter sampling of each product was grown with Floraphage and one was grown without (the control group). Each of the four tested products showed improvement when grown with Floraphage. The average increase in colony forming unit (CFU) activity—which is the measurement of probiotic bacteria growth, for the four products was 2,400 percent versus the control (growth without the use of Floraphage). Overall, Floraphage was able to increase the growth rate of supplemented probiotics by an average of 24 times compared with the control group. These results show that Floraphage is an excellent product to take in conjunction with a probiotic to maximize the benefits of supplemented beneficial bacteria. It’s also helpful for those who don’t take probiotics in order to maximize indigenous probiotic growth.*

The benefits of Floraphage include:

• Helps increase the potency of your probiotics*
• Helps prevent digestive discomfort*
• Can be taken alone or in combination with a probiotic
