Probiotics: New Path to Weight Reduction?

Europeans often seem to have far less problem than Americans in maintaining ideal body weight. Research done by the Stanford University School of Medicine provides a tantalizing clue as to why this is so.

And points to the unique digestive role of probiotics.

What are probiotics? Our bodies' digestive tracts contain a multitude of micro organisms -- in fact trillions of them -- which are involved in the everyday internal processing of the food we eat. While each serves its function, some (including probiotics) play key roles in actually influencing the amount of nutrition we absorb from food.

Which makes probiotics a potentially useful tool for controlling body weight!

What the Stanford research in fact discovered is that gastric-bypass surgery patients are able to shed more weight, and faster, when probiotic nutritional supplements are added to their diets. They are also able to maintain higher internal levels of the key nutrient vitamin B-12.

Apex Nutra now delivers the promise of probiotics to you in the form of a convenient nutritional supplement ideal for use by itself or in combination with our best-selling Acai Health System. Our new Probiotic Advanced helps ensure that your digestive tract maintains the optimal mix of helpful probiotics found to be vital in achieving and maintaining lean body weight.

Further studies may well conclude that bad or insufficient digestive micro organisms are at the root of our weight issues in developed countries -- and that regularly rebalancing the ratio of "weight-friendly" bacteria within our bodies will provide natural benefits to those who chronically struggle to maintain ideal body weight. Of course, the nutrition experts formulating our Probiotic Advanced and Acia Health System supplements emphasize that any effective weight loss regimen includes:

• A diet which makes use of probiotics rich foods such as yogurt.
• An ample intake of prebotics. These are tiny fibers found in various fruits and vegetables, and are what probiotics and other good bacteria within our systems thrive on. Bananas, garlic, onions and leeks (More common in the European diet) are especially good sources of prebotics.
• Consultation with a doctor or dietician if you are prone to digestive problems, to ensure that " pharmaceutical-grade" probiotics are suitable to your situation.
• A realization that even a better-balanced digestive tract can't eliminate the need to follow sensible eating habits and a healthy exercise plan.


There is a growing public and scientific interest in probiotics. Researchers are studying whether probiotics taken as foods or supplements can help treat or prevent illness. There is encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:

• Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
• Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
• Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Reduce bladder cancer recurrence
• Shorten the duration of intestinal infections
• Prevent and treat inflammation following colon surgery (pouchitis)
• Prevent eczema in children
