Does your probiotic contain ENZYMES and an ANTIFUNGAL ?!?

You will not find a probiotic of this kind sold ANYWHERE in the USA OR Canada!
This probiotic is changing the face of what all other probiotics claim to do for gut health.
I know this 100%. Do you understand gut health? 

No?

Do a Google search with any kind of issue you may have to see how it might relate to the health of your gut.

"What makes Plexus ProBio5 so different from what you'll find at my pharmacy counter?" You ask...
Go grab your probiotic (if you take one), and look on the label for 'CHITOSANASE'. If you don't see it, chances are your probiotic is NOT killing the fungus in your gut...but ProBio5 can!!!

Take a look at this: It's what specifically pokes the holes in the CHITIN layer (not the protein layers) of the fungal cell wall. Chitin is like the eco-skeleton of a bug. Digestive enzymes are not able to penetrate this layer.

THAT'S what makes it so difficult to KILL fungus!

Even fungal control products....How often do you see Chitosanase?????

Now you know the KEY ingredient in ProBio5!!!

Plexus ProBio5 doesn't have billions of CFU's like most others. Know why?

BECAUSE you don’t need billions to heal your gut. What you DO need isn’t found in most probiotics; you won’t find GRAPE SEED EXTRACT, B6, digestive enzymes, or an ANTIFUNGAL in all the others, and THAT is what is actually making all the noticeable difference!

Do you think your refrigerated Probiotics are better? Did you know that if your refrigerated Probiotic is left out for more than just 20 min, ALL the probiotics DIE??? Yup.. That means during transport, or when the item is being stocked on the shelves, ALL the good flora is LOST.. Thankfully ours does NOT need to be refrigerated! Probio5 is truly amazing! It not only helps replace the good bacteria in your gut, but it also helps attack FUNGUS!!!

All probiotics are the same .... aren't they ?!?

"But I got my probiotic at Costco, it’s the same right?” “But my doctor gave me a prescription for my probiotic, so it has to be more effective than your probiotic.” “But my probiotic needs to be refrigerated, so it must be better than your probiotic.”
__________________________________

I hear comments like this all the time. But I have one word for you…Chitosanase. It’s the difference between ProBio5 and other probiotics.

Most probiotics on the market today, promote a large quantity of probiotic strains. You’ve seen it – “50 billion strains per capsule!” or “14 billion good bacteria!” or “85 billion live cultures, GUARANTEED!”. But, like most things, it’s the quality, not the quantity that counts. And, none of the probiotics can be absorbed as thoroughly as ProBio5.

Why exactly? Well, yeast overgrowth actually INHIBITS the absorption of probiotics. When yeast multiplies in the gut, it forms a tough, protective cell wall called Chitin. This is what makes yeast overgrowth hard to kill. ProBio5 (unlike other probiotics) includes the enzyme, Chitoasanase, which breaks through that cell wall and effectively attacks the yeast overgrowth, so that the intestines can properly absorb the culture forming units.

The ProBio5 capsules are also specially formulated to dissolve when they reach the pH of your gut. Why is this important? Other probiotics dissolve in your stomach. Unfortunately, stomach acid will kill off a large percentage of the bacteria before it reaches your gut. ProBio5 ensures that 100% of live cultures and enzymes make their way to your gut – exactly where they need to be. 

What do YOUR pipes look like ?

Well... This is kind of gross!..

For all of you visual people out there!

Just like everything you pour down the kitchen sink you soon forget about it after it's done. What if you never cleaned your kitchen pipes or took precautions to keep them clean?

Eventually, enough residue would build up from all of the things you pour down it and prevent any liquid from getting through...now think of your body the same way. What have you been pouring into your body for the last 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 years?

THIS is how your gut and digestive tract works in a simple non scientific way. If you don't do something to breakdown the residue, then your intestines can't properly absorb the nutrients your body needs! 
😯
It is important to have something to remove toxins from my gut and REPLENISH the beneficial bacteria I need to fight off sickness and disease. Cleaning the inside is just as important, if not more important, than cleaning the outside. Do you have what it takes??

Holiday Foods That Aid in Gut Health

If the holidays throw your bathroom habits out of whack, don’t worry. You’re not the only one.
After all, what better time for tummy trouble than when the whole family and guests are sharing just one bathroom? Or at a corporate holiday party when the representatives from human resources is watching? ‘Tis the season of gurgling stomachs and hurried pleas to be excused from the table.

There is good news

Plexus TriPlex^™ is your gut’s new best friend. It’s the safe, healthy way to improve your gut health and feel better overall.^*

Your digestive tract gets hit by harmful substances every single day—from your food choices to a lack of sufficient exercise, to even the air and environment around you. Without a fiber-rich diet and more exercise, you’re going to end up with those digestive problems nobody wants: bloating, discomfort, and an overall “blah” feeling.

What poor eating habits screw up, they can also set right. Sneaking these foods into your holiday diet can help keep things regular.

Some chicken and collard greens

The high-fiber veggies that show up in snack platters on the buffet table or in your green bean casserole keep things moving along through your digestive tract and, soak up excess water from your colon and intestines—to keep things from moving too quickly. Additional sources of veggie fiber include roasted Brussels sprouts and cauliflower mashed potatoes—half potatoes and half cauliflower.

Enjoy visions of sugar plums

The bowls of dried fruit and nuts you set out for your next party are more than a formality. Dried dates, figs, prunes—especially prunes—apricots, and raisins are high in fiber and contain sorbitol—a natural laxative.

Bring some corn for popping

Feel free to snack on that popcorn you’re stringing for garland. Or, to enjoy the popcorn tin your neighbors dropped off.
Popcorn is low in calories and a whole grain—known for being effective at alleviating constipation¹. In addition, three cups of air-popped popcorn contain three grams of dietary fiber at only 93 calories.

Forget figgy pudding, bring us the probiotics

Our guts are colonized by millions of friendly bacteria—such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum—that keep us regular². Show your intestines a little love during the holiday season by adding probiotic foods, like yogurt, to your feast.

Sneak yogurt into your holiday cannoli recipe by mixing Greek or plain yogurt with ricotta cheese.
Or, substitute the sour cream in your Ambrosia with strawberry yogurt for an added tang.

Yogurt isn’t the only probiotic food out there either. Mix nutty-tasting tempeh (fermented soy beans) into any vegetarian dish that calls for tofu, or start your meal with a bowl of steaming miso soup (miso is a fermented paste made of grains). Or go the full-on savory route by incorporating fermented sauerkraut or kimchi into one of your courses.

Traditional superfoods

Keep your microbes happy. Jerusalem artichokes, garlic, leeks, onions, scallions, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and snow peas are rich in prebiotics which act as nourishment for the friendly bacteria in your intestines^3,4,5.

Cooked onions are great for your internal flora, as is raw jicama—which makes a great finger food or salad topping. And, berries are prebiotics—look for them to make an appearance in holiday pies or with your yogurt.

No matter what it is you’re eating, all things in moderation help keep your intestines happy. Mix gut-friendly foods with your usual diet and keep drinking lots of water, to send your gut the message that all is well and operations should continue as normal.

Keep Your Gut Health in Check for a Happy Holiday Season

 

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” So many parties to host, turkeys to roast, and endless hours shopping for everyone on your list.

Oh bah, humbug!

Getting caught up in the to-do’s of creating holiday cheer can leave us feeling grumpy and overwhelmed. We may even find ourselves expressing a little scrooge-like behavior.

Holly jolly holiday

Your gut’s happiness has a huge influence on your mood. In fact, your gut is responsible for 90 percent of your body’s serotonin—a hormone linked to happiness. When serotonin levels are low, your mood can become gloomy.
This holiday season, take a moment to think about your gut health. Stress, poor nutrition, antibiotics, and high sugar consumption can all affect its happiness. Your gut needs nutritional support to get rid of unwanted substances and promote a healthy balance of good bacteria that can help elevate your happy holiday attitude.^1,2

Add a little holiday cheer

The holidays can be rough on our gut as we’re tempted by an assortment of holiday fixings that leave us bloated, uncomfortable, and unhappy.
Fight off the negative influences that upset your gut and mood during the holiday season. Plexus TriPlex^TM is a happy holiday answer for your gut, as it helps remove harmful microbes, replenishes the gut with five beneficial probiotics, and rebalances how your body feels. The TriPlex combo includes Bio Cleanse, ProBio 5, and Slim to support a healthy gut, joyful mood, and overall wellness.^*

Scope out the party food

When we stress during the holidays, we’re more likely to binge on not-so-healthy food choices that leave our gut and mood out of whack. Before you load up on tempting holiday foods, think about how you’ll feel after eating two slices of pie, three servings of artichoke dip, and four cups of eggnog. . .okay, that may be a bit exaggerated. But your body will thank you if you consider healthy food choices and portion sizes.

Probiotics, please!

If you’re cranky, add probiotics. Probiotics are good microorganisms that provide health benefits to support gut health, overall wellness, and your mood. These awesome microorganisms are packed with health benefits.
Your gut health is directly related to your cognitive health and mood.^3,4 Add in plain yogurt for a probiotic-packed breakfast or take a probiotic supplement—ProBio 5 anyone?—to make sure your gut flora is in check through the holiday season.^*

Sleep like you mean it

It may be the busiest time of year, but find time to sleep. If you’re short on sleep, you may feel grumpy, anxious, and find it difficult to cope with stress.^5,6 To add fuel to the fire, sleep deprivation can lead to greater cravings of unhealthy foods that upset your gut. . . and aggravate a sour mood.^7,8
No matter what comes your way this holiday season, don’t let the winter blues and holiday stress turn you into a scrooge! Keep your gut healthy and your happiness will feel elevated too.
