Pearls IC Intensive Care Probiotics is a unique probiotic supplement for use when deep restoration of beneficial intestinal microflora is needed. Containing a broad-spectrum of beneficial microflora that are structurally, functionally, and ecologically diverse, Pearls IC provides:
- Deep intestinal care
- Long-term colon health
- Maximum control of occasional gas, bloating, and constipation
Formulated with patented True Delivery Technology, an advanced encapsulation technique, each Pearls IC capsule remains intact until arrival in the small intestines, where the viable organisms rapidly colonize. Patented True Delivery Technology ensures the beneficial bacteria stay alive throughout shelf-life.
How does it work?
Numerous strains of gut microflora reside in significant numbers in the small intestine (106-108/gram of small intestinal contents) and even greater numbers in the colon (1011-1012/gram of colon contents) or large intestine. Microflora of the large intestine perform several activities beneficial to human health, including supporting healthy digestion through fermentation, promoting healthy bacterial and yeast balance, and stimulating certain immune system components.
Probiotics, as defined by the United States Probiotics Organization, are "live microorganisms administered in adequate amounts which confer a beneficial health effect on the host.” Probiotic bacteria are frequently, but not always, chosen from bacteria that normally inhabit the gastrointestinal system of humans. The genera Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum (normal inhabitants of the healthy intestine) are the most clinically validated of all probiotic strains. Scientific study has repeatedly shown that two-strain probiotic supplements containing L. acidophilus and B. longum are highly effective in:
- supporting overall human health
- responding to small daily challenges
When humans are under increased physical, emotional, or intellectual stress changes often occur within the gastrointestinal environment. Examples of these changes include slowed secretory responses, increased formation of reactive oxygen species, increased transit times of fecal material, disruption of mucosal cells, and altered epithelium tissues. These changes often result in occasional gas, bloating, and constipation and may interfere with probiotic functionality.
The effectiveness of all probiotics is dependent on the ability of the organisms to reach the large intestine in a viable state and adhere to the intestinal wall. Only then can colonization of the microflora succeed. Researchers have recently discovered that certain broad-spectrum probiotic combinations are able to function well within altered gastrointestinal environments. To date, the probiotic combination of L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, B. bifidum, B. breve, B longum, and B. lactis shows great promise in:
- supporting long-term colon care
- providing deep intestinal support
- helping the body respond during times of increased physical, emotional, or mental stress
The broad-spectrum probiotic combination found in Pearls IC Intensive Care Probiotics were selected for their ability to function in-vivo, tolerate harsh intestinal environments, and successfully adhere to intestinal wall.
By combining these six probiotic strains, Pearls IC Intensive Care Probiotics offers comprehensive health benefits for times when deep restoration of the gastrointestinal tract is required.
True Delivery TechnologyPearls IC uses the identical revolutionary proprietary “pearl” encapsulating process used in Acidophilus Pearls active cultures. The patented True Delivery Technology results in a three-layered seamless pearl-shaped capsule, which ensures the probiotics will be delivered live and intact to the intestines. True Delivery Technology keeps virtually all probiotic bacteria alive and viable.
ConclusionThe contributions of Pearls IC Intensive Care Probiotics are impressive. During times of exceptional stress and significant need, the broad-spectrum probiotics in Pearls IC have the ability to adhere to the intestinal walls for rapid restoration of microflora colonization. By restoring gastrointestinal balance, Pearls IC provides positive outcomes for human health.
