feel it in your gut?

Do you ever get that feeling in your gut where you think "something just isn't right"?  Whether it's feeling bloated, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, gas, or a host of other symptoms that you would never think to be gut related, keeping your gut in check is critical for maintaining your overall health.  Many of us experience some kind of gut issue whether we know it or not.  Gut issues arise from your bad gut bacteria outweighing your good gut bacteria.  It is an easy balance to disrupt and can be a challenging one to restore.

Signs You Have Too Much Bad Gut Bacteria
How can you tell if you have too much of a bad thing going on?  Here are some simple signs that most of us can pick up on:
​
Digestive symptoms associated with too much bad gut bacteria:

• Constipation
• Excess intestinal gas
• Too little or no intestinal gas
• Chronic diarrhea
• Chronic bad breath

Other symptoms of gut flora imbalance may include:

• Hormonal problems
• PMS
• Menstrual complaints
• Prostate trouble
• Breast enlargement in men
• Need for sexual hormone medication
• Candida infection (candidiasis)
• Chronic anemia
• Chronic respiratory problems
• Dairy product allergies and intolerances
• Vitamin B deficiencies
• High cholesterol levels
• Neurological problems
• Severe bruising problems
• Chronic vaginal infections
• Chronic bladder infections
• Osteoporosis
• Sarcopenia

What is a Probiotic?
Assuming you can identify with an item or two mentioned above, you may be wondering how to fix it.  There are a few "go to" ways of fixing this problem that do not require a visit to your doctor.  You can heavy up on live culture yogurts and fermented foods.  Or, if neither of those are part of your normal diet, you can try a probiotic.  The critical thing you want to look for in a probiotic are 1. Live Cultures and 2. Unique Strains.  These two things are needed to fight the bad gut bacteria and start increasing the growth of the good gut bacteria.

NuSkin offers a probiotic that contains it's very own unique strain of Lactobacillus, which has shown extraoridnary resillience to the growth of undesirable bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Pharmanex® ProBio PCC, from NuSkin, contains 2 billion live organisms of the potent probiotic bacteria culture of Lactobacillus Fermentum PCC.  

Probiotics come in all shapes, sizes and prices.  What I love about this product is that all the needed goodness is wrapped up in ONE capsule that you take ONE time per day.  Others tout the same benefits when you take 3 capsules per day.  It is so much easier to remember something once per day that it is to remember 3 times throughout the day.
