OPTIMUM PROBIOTIC ROTATION

Rotating probiotics to enhance overall microbial biodiversity in the G.I. tract is gaining interest among medical professionals. Rotation usually involves taking a given probiotic brand for a period of time (daily, weekly or monthly) followed by a different brand for a similar time period and then “rotating back” to the first brand.

Sometimes three or more brands are used. The premise is that pathogenic bacteria and other undesirable microorganisms will be more effectively defeated by a larger contingency of probiotic strains. For example, certain probiotic strains colonize more effectively in specific areas of the G.I. tract – Lactobacilli do better in the small intestine while Bifidobacteria prefer the colon.

The problem with rotating probiotics in an arbitrary manner is this: Not all probiotic strains are compatible and, quite often, different manufacturers use different strain designations for the same exact probiotic, confusing customers about any actual difference between products.

An example of this is the LA-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus which has also been labeled LA-5, NCFM and DDS-1. An example of antagonism involves the inhibition of the probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis by the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri. The best rotation program then is one where the products contain both different and compatible probiotic strains at comparable CFU (colony forming units) concentrations.

Master Supplements, Inc., well known for their medical strength probiotic Theralac® (www.theralac.com), has introduced a partner probiotic called TruFlora™ (www.truflora.com).

Both of these probiotics share the same patented alginate-delivery technology that assures live, protected transit through the stomach but that’s where the similarity stops. Theralac® contains five probiotic strains (L. acidophilus LA-1, L. paracasei F-19, L. rhamnosus LR-44, Bifidobacterium lactis BL-34 and Bifidobacterium bifidum TB-12) and two prebiotics (Lactoferrin and LactoStim®) which work together in what’s called 5 + 2 Biotherapy™. This results in symbiotic colonization of intestinal surfaces.

 TruFlora™ contains three probiotics (B. coagulans BC-705, L. plantarum LP-29, and L. salivarius LS-30) plus two betaglucan digesting enzymes (Betaglucanase at 400 BGU and Hemicellulase at 10,000 HCU) that work together within the contents of the G.I. tract in a bio-cleansing action.

When a Theralac® capsule is taken on day one, at the start of a probiotic rotation program, it delivers 20 billion “live” CFU of its five probiotics  deep into the G.I. tract; surface colonization begins on microvilli in small intestine and colonocytes in colon.

A day later, when one TruFlora™ capsule is taken, delivering 12 billion probiotics and 10,400 units of enzyme activity into the intestinal tract, bio-cleansing begins in the intestinal contents (food in small intestine, fecal matter in colon). Bio-cleansing means the killing and/or flushing out of pathogenic/harmful microorganisms before they colonize.  

By rotating Theralac® and TruFlora™ on alternating days, two distinctly different but complimentary probiotic actions take place: Biotherapy and Bio-cleansing. After 2-3 weeks of daily rotation most people can back off to one capsule of each product weekly, separated by about 3 days.  

This program will work to restore regularity fast – both constipation and diarrhea are corrected, digestion and absorption of critical nutrients improves, and energy levels increase. Master Supplements, Inc. stands by this with a 100% money back guarantee.
