Unique Formula® Beauty Vigor Probiotics

Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are medical food used as a probiotic, or “friendly bacteria” to maintain a healthy digestive tract (stomach and intestines). Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are also used in women to support vaginal health. Refer to the National Library of Medicine of the United States https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2662373/ – An oral dose of over one billion organisms per day was found to maintain a lactobacilli-dominated vaginal presence [79]. The time for this intervention to affect the vaginal tract is obviously longer than direct vaginal instillation, and will depend on viability of the strains as they pass through the stomach and gut [78]

The ability of this oral probiotic therapy to create a lactobacilli normal flora and convert some subjects from a BV status to normal [79] goes beyond the pro.of-of-concept stage and provides a method for women to help maintain vaginal health.

In the last century, Elie Metchnikoff (1845 to 1916), a Nobel Prize winner for work on phagocytosis, proposed that the gut microbiota produces small amounts of toxic substances that damage the nervous and vascular systems and ultimately lead to aging.

The genus Lactobacillus is a member of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which can be found in the oral cavities, gastrointestinal tracts (GIT), and vaginas of humans and animals. In particular, the Lactobacillus species found in the GIT have received tremendous attention due to their health-promoting properties. They are commonly used as probiotics, which are defined by the FAO/WHO as live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.

Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus are used in people with irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, or an ileal pouch.

 Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a type of bacteria found in your intestines. It belongs to the genus Lactobacillus, a type of bacteria that produces the enzyme lactase. The enzyme breaks down the sugar lactose — which is found in dairy — into lactic acid. Studies show that L. rhamnosus helps with various types of diarrhea.

• May Help With IBS Symptoms. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects 9–23% of adults worldwide. 
• May Help With UTIs. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can happen anywhere along your urinary tract, including your kidneys, bladder, and urethra. It is much more common in women and typically caused by two strains of bacteria — Escherichia coli (E. coli)and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Some studies indicate that probiotic bacteria, including certain strains of L. rhamnosus, may lower the chance of UTIs by killing harmful bacteria and restoring vaginal flora. For instance, an analysis of 5 studies in 294 women found that several Lactobacillus bacteria, including L. rhamnosus, were safe and effective at lowering the chance of UTIs. Other studies discovered that the L. rhamnosus GR1 strain — given either orally or intravaginally — was working well in killing harmful bacteria in the urinary tract.

 Lactobacillus fermentum has been studied deeply by scientists –  health benefits include:

• Produces antioxidants (glutathione)
• Stimulates immune system
• Help with intestinal infections
• Helps with LDL
• Fights Ulcerative colitis (UC) and IBS

Lactobacillus Paracasei is one of many beneficial probiotics. As you may already know, a balanced gut is essential to maintaining a healthy body. With so many bacteria roaming around our guts, it’s essential to keep them packed with good bacteria, to keep the harmful bacteria under control. It’s also important to know which strains of bacteria do what. Here are some of the top Lactobacillus Paracasei benefits.

Lactobacillus Paracasei’s Benefits:

1. Immunity: Lactobacillus Paracasei may be a powerful immunity booster according to several studies. In one study, this bacteria was given to daycare children throughout the winter season. The researchers found that L. Paracasei helped prevent common infectious diseases in these children by stimulating their immune systems. Several tests involving lab animals show that this strain helps boost natural killer (NK) cell activity. In turn, this supports a healthy immune system. It may even help fight E. Coli and the influenza virus. GI Tract Lactobacillus Paracasei is highly beneficial for the gastrointestinal system.
2. It helps with the body’s balance of intestinal microflora. Studies show that L. Paracasei suppresses bad bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Clostridium species which are responsible for serious food poisoning, tetanus, and gangrene. L. Paracasei also helps protect the intestinal lining from damage by reducing inflammation and promoting healthy bacteria growth. With its ability to restore epithelial barrier integrity, this bacteria may help prevent a leaky gut.
3. Over-fat: Over the years, we’ve learned that fighting over-fat largely relies on developing a healthy, balanced gut. Healthy gut microbes are essential for breaking down food particles so that the nutrients can be absorbed and turned into body-boosting energy. L. Paracasei is a vital part of a healthy gut balance. It helps good bacteria flourish while at the same time it fights off harmful bacteria that may contribute to weight gain. L. Paracasei helps block the formation of lipid plaques in arteries—especially the aorta. It also decreased fat cell size, helps prevent fat absorption, and reduces fat production. Lab studies on rats show that L. Paracasei cut down body fat in rats. An overly active appetite is a significant contributor to over-fat. The more you feel hungry, the more likely you are to fill up on whatever food is around—even if it has little nutritional value. Studies show that L. Paracasei hinders appetite and decreases food intake in both lab animals and humans. 

 Bifidobacterium bifidum is naturally found in the stomach/intestines. It has been used to help maintain and restore the normal balance of intestinal bacteria when the balance has been upset (e.g., with the use of antibiotics, certain stomach/intestinal conditions). Having a normal balance of intestinal bacteria lessen the episode of diarrhea, protects against undesirable bacteria infecting the gut, and helps with proper food digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals. Some dietary supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives.  B. bifidum is helpful in the following areas. In 2011, a randomized control trial of 122 people indicates that B. bifidum may help lower symptoms of IBS. In it, researchers provided 62 people a placebo and 60 others a tablet containing B. bifidum each day. After four weeks, about 47% of subjects taking the probiotic reported significant relief from symptoms, while only 11% of subjects taking the placebo did. Another study involving human tissue samples also suggests that B. bifidum may play a helpful role in containing symptoms of IBS. More high-quality clinical trials in humans are needed to prove B. bifidum’s role, but these results are promising. Several studies on human tissue cells indicate that B. bifidum might improve immunity. Researchers in one study noted that different strains of these bacteria have the ability to influence the immune system. Some can boost immunity by recruiting white blood cells to fight off an infection; others can reduce inflammation by recruiting fewer white blood cells.

B. animalis subsp.lactis is listed in the International Dairy Federation. Moringa is packed with phytochemicals and antioxidants. It also may be antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory. Refer to Journal of Functional Foods (Volume 36), September 2017, B. animalis subsp. lactis reduces levels of intestinal trimethylamine(one of the odors of feces) produced by intestinal microbiota in healthy humans. Thus, B. animalis subsp.lactis could reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis development in healthy subjects via reduction of TMA produced by intestinal microbiota.

Moringa contributes to serious hair growth and healthy maintenance of the skin and nails with its rich source of Vitamin A and numerous B-rich Vitamins. Moringa’s anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects help with water retention and strengthen the natural healing process. It is also found that the reduction in insulin resistance may prevent excess fat accumulation around the body. An amino acid, Glutamic acid in Moringa’s protein, is beneficial for curbing sugar cravings.

Moringa Benefits for Women:

1. Helps in Weight Management
   Moringa is a natural detoxifier and helps reduce water retention in the body that can lead to bloating. The plant and its substitutes are also a rich source of fiber that increases the body’s metabolism. In addition to that, the presence of glutamic acid, an amino acid, helps curb sugar cravings. These properties are incredibly beneficial for weight management.
2. Multivitamin Supplement
   In fact, moringa is the only multivitamin herb that offers more vitamins than any other plant or herb in the world.
3. Promotes Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails
   Aside from its rich source of Vitamin A and B, moringa contains another power nutrient, Vitamin E, essential for its antioxidant properties, is present in abundance in moringa. The vitamin also delays the onset of premature signs of aging.
4. Lactation Enhancer
   The increased milk production is associated with galactagogue, a naturally present substance in the moringa, which is known for increasing the flow of breast milk.
5. Help Overcome Symptoms of Menopause/Menstruation
   Moringa is a rich source of iron and calcium. These nutrients help maintain a balanced nutritional supplement for the body. In addition to that, they also provide extra nutrients during the menstrual cycle. Moringa can also help you deal with mood swings and weakness during the menopause and menses cycle. The supplement strengthens the immunity system as well, resulting in reduced pain and cramps.
6. Reduces Effects of PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome)
   Women with PCOS suffer from a metabolic disorder that leads to insulin resistance. Moringa decreases the degree of insulin in diabetes mellitus / decreases insulin levels in the body, promoting folliculogenesis.
7. Natural Aphrodisiac
   Moringa was found to be a natural aphrodisiac that can help enhance your experience in bed. People believe moringa reduces stress levels; not only does this help in improving your mood in bed, but it also makes you more energetic to engage in various pleasurable activities with your partner.

Cranberries are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, natural pectin, and other antioxidants. People who use it for a long period of time can effectively improve constipation, help rid the toxins and excess fat. Natural organic cranberry does not have any side effects on the skin. One of the main benefits of cranberry is that it lowers the chances of urinary tract infections (UTI), which is a common chronic health problem among women. Cranberry contains anti-adhesion properties within the antioxidants that prevent the bacteria (primarily E. coli) from adhering to the bladder.

More Benefits of Cranberry:

1. Helps to Lower Chance of (Recurring) Urinary Tract Infection
   A 2006 pilot study looked at twelve women between the ages of 25 and 70 with a history of UTIs to determine if a concentrated cranberry extract could prevent recurrent UTIs. During the study of administering the cranberry extract, none of the twelve subjects had a UTI. After a two-year follow-up, eight of the twelve women who continued to take the cranberry extract reported no UTI and no adverse effects. It was concluded that a cranberry preparation with a high phenolic content may completely prevent UTIs in women who are subject to recurrent infections.
2. Fight for Aging, Maintain Cardiovascular Function
   A study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows that people who consume cranberries regularly can effectively lower blood pressure because cranberries are rich in antioxidants.
3. Health guard
   Cranberries have a very strong resistance to free radical substances. Cranberries contain bioflavonoids, which can effectively protect your brain from senile disfunction and aging.
