Healthy Bowels, Prebiotics, and preB Health
preB Health can mean many things to your health. First and foremost is its powerful prebiotic effect, which is where it gets its name.
If you are like most people, healthy bowels, and healthy bowel functioning are not
something you think about until something goes wrong. When something does go
wrong with your otherwise healthy bowels, you not only notice it, you do something about it.
If something has gone wrong with your healthy bowels, chances are you ran to your
nearest drug store. Surprisingly, nearly 5% of all drug store sales is for laxatives.
Another 5% of product sales is for bowel and digestion-related antacids and acid
blockers. Whatever is going into the stomachs of Americans (the Brits have similar
problems) is giving them gas, and has no clear exit strategy.
Ten times as many people reach for laxatives and antacids when something goes wrong
with their healthy bowels, than use anti-diarrhea products. The problem in non-healthy
bowels seems to be that whatever is going in our mouths is not coming out the other
end fast enough.
Americans are spending a fortune fixing unhealthy bowels
Digestive problems often are first noticed in the stomach acid reflux, bloating and
intestinal gas. Thus, antacids and acid blockers (Pepcid, Prilosec OTC, and Zantac 75,
etc.) have become the first line of defense to prevent acid stomach and gastrointestinal
bloating. The first year Pepcid, Prilosec OTC, and Zantac 75 were on the market,
customers snapped up over $1 billion of them. Still, the old standby Tums keeps
chugging down American stomachs with sales over $150 million a year.
Sales of laxative and antiacids have soared 40% in the last five years. Sales for them
are expected to grow another 50% over the next five years.
Clearly something is wrong with American bowels. And whatever is causing it, it
is getting worse rapidly.
All this data points to a "dysfunctional" relationship between food and digestion and self-medication products.
People are drinking more and eating more indulgent food, which in turn causes more
bloating and unhealthy bowels. On the other hand, more people are obsessing over
zero-sized models, and use laxatives to help them lose weight.
One research organization even attributed the "success" of the popular diet programs
to the rampant use of laxatives: fearing the dreaded weekly weigh-in, the
"successful" dieters cheat by using laxatives to make sure they reach their target weight
loss before they step on the scales.
The critical importance of intestinal bacteria to healthy bowel functioning
You probably don't think of it this way, but the key to your healthy bowels and healthy
bowel functioning, is the health and number of bacteria (also called microbes or flora) in your bowels.
With all the TV ads, and print ads about controlling the acid in your stomach, you
probably think that your digestion of food is controlled by chemistry acids, and
neutralizing acids. The truth is, that is only the first part of the story of healthy bowels.
All that "acid" chemistry takes place in your stomach, an organ that is less than a foot long.
Acids in your stomach break food down into small pieces. But your body cannot use
those small pieces. They are still too large. Your body needs the small pieces to break
down even further to microscopic size before it can actually get any nutrition out of it.
So, the real digestive burden takes place in the bowels the intestinal tract, which is
almost 30 feet long, in total.
Would it surprise you to learn that, while your stomach holds about a quart, your 30 feet
of intestines, when unfolded and laid flat, is large enough to fill a tennis court?
Your gut is full of bugs
So, what is going on in all that vast intestinal space, versus your comparatively very
small stomach? The answer is intestinal bacteria (flora). Your gut is full of them. And it is
your bacterial flora that does all of the heavy digestive burden of your body.
Did you know that you have ten times more living bacteria in your bowels than you have
cells in your body?
Did you know that there are over 1000 different kinds of bacteria in your bowels right now?
What are they all doing there? What effect do they have on your health?
The "probiotic" bacteria in your bowels consume the food you eat, but only after it is all
broken down by the acids in your stomach. The lining in your intestines then absorb the
output, the metabolites the bacteria's waste products and pass it into your
bloodstream.
This process is exactly how your body gets the nutrients it needs from the food you eat:
Food in stomach stomach acid probiotic bacteria nutrients your blood stream
However, if the food entering your intestines from your stomach is not broken down due
to antacids, or lack of acids in the case of acid blockers, your probiotics can't do their
work. And if they can't do their work, well, everything backs up. Constipation. Can
anyone say: "I need a laxative"?
When food entering your bowels is not sufficiently broken down by stomach acid, your
probiotic bacteria can't do their job. The food pieces are too large for them to consume.
So, literally, they go unfed your probiotics get starved. With entire bacterial life cycles
measured in hours, unfed probiotics means they die out rapidly.
With your probiotics in short supply, your food gets only partly digested. The semi-digested
food continues to pass down the intestinal tract. With the sheer volume of it
undigested and bulky, and your bowels not designed to handle that kind of partially digested
matter, it just backs up. And continues to back up. Constipation.
(It could be reliably reported that the rapid rise in the use of laxatives in this country is
closely associated with a matched rise in all the new acid blockers that have come on
the market over the last five years.)
Now, with all that undigested matter hanging out in your bowels, it will start to ferment
and bloating is the result. With probably more than your share of intestinal gas.
So you reach for the laxatives and anti-gas products at your local pharmacy.
The importance of prebiotics for digestion and your health
There is a critical balance between the bacteria in your bowels that maintain your body's
health (probiotics), and those that ruin your health.
In recent years it has become known that it is important to supplement probiotics in your
diet, in order to maintain healthy bowel functioning and overall health. That is why you
see some brands of yogurt with probiotics in them. With the above explanation, it is
easy to see why you really need more probiotics.
But, as noted above, the problem with supplementing probiotics is that your diet, and
the diets of most people, destroy these probiotic bacteria that need to be growing and
thriving in your bowels. With less probiotic bacteria, the bad, health-destroying bacteria
over-grow they take over. You feel tired, sluggish. Your health suffers.
A noted side effect is your skin and hair suffer (due to low priority in your body's nutrient
delivery system you may have lifeless hair, but you won't die from it) because they
lack the nutrients they need to keep their luster.
In fact, modern diets destroy these probiotic bacteria so rapidly that even if you
add more probiotics to your diet in the form of supplements, they quickly disappear.
That is why prebiotic products are a critical need in your diet. Prebiotic products,
taken 2-3 times a day, feed your probiotic bacteria. Your probiotics thrive. And when
they thrive, you get better digestion. Less gas. Constipation eliminated. Health
improved. Skin and hair health restored.
Isn't that what you need? And want?
Can you now see why you need a prebiotic product added to your diet daily?
Prebiotic products are "health food" for your critically important probiotics to multiply
rapidly, to thrive, and do their job in digesting your food and protecting your health.
Prebiotic products greatly aid your body to overcome the effects of an unhealthy
diet, antacids, and acid blockers, that would otherwise destroy your probiotics.
Plus, prebiotic products, while enhancing your probiotics, not only support a regular,
healthy bowel, they enhance your immune system, while they alkalize and detoxifies your body.
The metabolites (waste products) from probiotics are precisely what your body absorbs
to produce your body's natural immune and health delivery systems. Low probiotics =
low immune system.
(That is why antibiotics are only taken for a short time. They kill the good bacteria along with
the bad. If taken too long, your immune system is weakened.)
Just as importantly, when your bowels are functioning at their peak, you have more
energy, you lose weight naturally, and your skin clarity improves.
If you are concerned about the health of your bowels, you need to understand the
critical role prebiotics and probiotic bacteria play in regulating healthy bowel functioning.
While increasing your probiotics with supplements will help your body for short
periods, the real power of supplementation is when you give your body a steady
diet of prebiotics. This feeds and keeps the probiotics you do have surviving and
thriving. You need prebiotics once, twice, even three times a day, because of the short life cycle of these bacteria.
So, what has all this to do with preB Health?
preB Health is the ultimate, natural prebiotic product. Don't just take our word for it.
Consider what real customers have to say about preB Health and its prebiotic power. It
is the best way to help you understand the real effect of the regular use of preB in real people.
While preB Health has tens of thousands of enthusiastic users worldwide, a group of
400 preB customers were asked to take preB Health regularly for 30 days. They were
then sent an online questionnaire for them to answer anonymously.
Here is what the respondents had to say about preB Health*:
- "78% said preB significantly improved their intestinal health"
If you are looking for a product that supports the healthy functioning of
your bowels, these users of preB say preB Health is the correct answer.
- "Over half said preB reduced their bloating"
One of the key effects of eating unhealthy food, or taking antacids or
acid blockers, is gastrointestinal bloating. As you can see, preB users
reported that it reduced bloating.
- "87% of preB users said preB improved their general health"
When your bowels (your gut) is fed the proper foods, and you take a
daily supplement of a highly effective prebiotic product like preB, you
will be creating exactly what your health needs
- "Nearly 60% of the respondents said preB increased their energy"
Other than lack of sleep, the main cause of persistent tiredness is poor
bowel function. The vital nutrients you need to maintain energy are not
extracted from your bowels when you have poor bowel health. Increased energy
is a sign preB is doing its job well.
- "66% said preB improved their skin health"
For many people, the improvement of skin health (as well as hair and
nail health) for a prebiotic product is counter-intuitive. Actually,
however, as noted in the discussion above, your skin, hair and nails
are the first to get shorted nutritionally when you do not have a healthy
bowel. With a healthy bowel, all these (and a lot of other organs of the
body that are less noticeable) get the nutrition they need to be healthy,
and to look their best.
- "71% said preB changed their fingernail health for the better"
This is like the situation for skin. Nails are a type of hair that are
affected by similar nutritional deficiencies. So, it makes sense that
when nails improve, hair improves also.
- "100% said they would recommend preB Health to their relatives and friends"
This is the most telling statistic of all. Usually a product is considered a
great success if 60-70% of those using it would recommend it to a
relative or family member. 100% approval is reserved for exceptional
products. preB Health is clearly an exceptional product.
- "They ALL said preB Health would be a high value product at $39 (on sale now)"
Prebiotic products, and also probiotic products, are not cheap
commodities to produce. Unlike the ubiquitous, inexpensive vitamins,
prebiotics and probiotics require special ingredients, special
processing, and careful handling. preB is no exception. preB is
produced on a remote ranch in Southwestern Brazil, that has only
been farmed the last 80 years, and all the time employing organic
principles. Using 56 ingredients, that are then fermented for 6 months to 3 years
using a revolutionary process it all takes a lot of care, careful
handling, and expense. At $39, and given the wide range of health
benefits they receive, preB customers feel they are getting a great value.
As you may be new to preB, sometimes it is helpful to read the comments of
actual users of preB. All of these quoted below had used preB Health for a
minimum of 30 days.
