E3 Probiotics - Our probiotics contribute to the health and balance of the intestinal tract; also referred to as the "friendly", "beneficial", or "good" bacteria that, when ingested they act to maintain a healthy intestinal tract and help fight illness and disease.

Why do you need a balance of bacteria in your system? The microflora in your intestine can provide a protective effect only when a proper balance is maintained among all the different bacteria that normally reside in your intestine. If your normal bacteria become depleted or the balance is disturbed, potentially harmful bacteria can overgrow and become established, causing digestive and other health problems. These harmful bacteria are known as pathogenic bacteria, and they have the ability to cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea or abdominal pain, and bloating if not kept in check by the beneficial bacteria.

In general, cancer is caused by mutation or activation of abnormal genes that control cell growth and division. (A substance that causes a mistake in genes is known as a mutagen). Most of these abnormal cells do not result in cancer since normal cells usually out-compete abnormal ones. Also, the immune system recognizes and destroys most abnormal cells.*

Many processes or exposures can increase the occurrence of abnormal cells. Precautions that minimize these exposures decrease the risk of cancer. Among the many potentially risky exposures are chemical exposures. Cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens) can be ingested or generated by metabolic activity of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal system. It has been hypothesized that probiotic cultures might decrease the exposure to chemical carcinogens by (1) detoxifying ingested carcinogens, (2) altering the environment of the intestine and thereby decreasing populations or metabolic activities of bacteria that may generate carcinogenic compounds, (3) producing metabolic products (e.g., butyrate) which improve a cell's ability to die when it should die (a process known as apoptosis or programmed cell death), (4) producing compounds that inhibit the growth of tumor cells, or (5) stimulating the immune system to better defend against cancer cell proliferation.*

Research suggests that the consumption of probiotic cultures may decrease cancer risk*.

These harmful bacteria are known as pathogenic bacteria, and they have the ability to cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea or abdominal pain if not kept in check by the beneficial bacteria. The potential mechanisms of their action include competitive bacterial interactions, production of antimicrobial metabolites, mucosal conditioning, and immune modulation. The emerging use of probiotics in several gastrointestinal disorders

(e.g., inflammatory bowel disease) has led to increased interest in their use in patients with IBS.

Vision's probiotics are a proprietary blend of microbes that exist commonly and are natural inhabitants of soils and freshwater, they also exist on organically grown fruits and vegetables.

Important Information

Stomach Acid Protection — Unprotected forms of probiotics (powders, foods, plain capsules) entering the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach can experience losses of viable organisms of up to 100%. Studies show that it is highly unlikely that an unprotected probiotic supplement will ever deliver more than 5 to 10% of its viable payload past the stomach successfully.

Our probiotic caplets function by forming a gel layer around the tablet (or fragments thereof) when the outermost surface is moistened by fluids in the stomach (see cross-section illustration). This layer forms a semi-permeable pH-controlled protective layer between harsh (low pH) stomach fluids and the sensitive probiotic organisms contained in the drier core of the tablet. As the tablet moves past the stomach into the higher pH of the duodenum and below, the tablet releases probiotic organisms in a viable state to flourish and colonize successfully in the intestinal tract.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) — All of our probiotic cultures are naturally derived isolates, without genetic modifications (non-GMO). The standard carrier used in non-GMO identity preserved corn maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch and is usually found as a creamy-white hygroscopic powder. Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose.

BSE — No bovine tissue ingredients or derivatives are used in the manufacture of these probiotics.

Gamma — Our probiotics have not been irradiated and are gamma free.

Heavy Metal — Representative samples of the raw materials and cultures used to produce our probiotics have been tested by the USP28 <231> procedure and contain less than 1 ppm heavy metals.

Contains Milk — This product may contain residual trace amounts of milk proteins from the fermentation process.

Heat During Tableting — The probiotics are checked after the tableting process to ensure that the client receives the listed amount of life organisms.

Children — There are no contraindications for children. Suggested age is starting at 5.

Handling Instructions — Refrigeration is necessary to prolong shelf live of live organisms.

Shelf Life — 18 months from blend date. Information is posted on bottom of bottle.

Allergen — This product does not contain, nor has it been processed with any of the following materials: Soy, Wheat, Tree nuts, Peanuts, Eggs, Fish, Crustacean Shellfish, Bee Pollen, or Gluten. Although our fermentation media contains dairy constituents, representative samples of the carriers and cultures used have tested negative (<2.5 ppm) for dairy allergen protein.Just some of the great benefits of E3 Probiotics.
