| Balancing the ecosystem of the colon is crucial to whole body health. This balance depends on inhibiting harmful bacteria and promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that support immune function. While stress, diet and age are important factors, a strong digestive system is essential — it accounts for 60% to 70% of our body’s immunity. Life Extension®’s Agave Digestive-Immune Support helps beneficial bacteria proliferate in the colon for healthy immune response. A clinically advanced prebiotic blend, Agave Digestive-Immune Support nourishes beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria, to enhance immune response and suppress growth of unwanted microorganisms. This supports the body’s natural response to infection. Among the several hundred species of bacteria, bifidobacteria are among the most essential to colon health. Prebiotics deliver the specific nutrients these bacteria need in an undigested form. This enables beneficial bacteria to flourish, providing a higher level of protection and support. Agave Digestive-Immune support contains three complementary prebiotic ingredients: Agave inulin/FOS Inulins are the nutrients beneficial bacteria thrive on. The inulins in agave are complex. They last longer in the digestive tract, allowing beneficial bacteria to distribute further into the colon. Fiber/SunFiber® partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) favorably modifies intestinal pH for more efficient absorption of essential nutrients, including magnesium and calcium. Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a preferred food source for bifidobacteria. FOS also increases stool bulk, supports normal bowel function, and promotes regularity. |
