As an alternative, we recommend to sprinkle it on food like cereals, applesauce and yogurt or to add it to a smoothie. The reason why we don’t recommend mixing it in water or any liquid is that the powders won’t dissolve very well.

A: Probiotics are “good bacteria” that can provide many health benefits to their host when administered in adequate amounts. Among these, probiotics help promote digestive health by rebalancing the flora found in the gut, probiotics assist detoxification, strengthen the immune system, help support respiratory functions, aid the production of essential nutrients, increase nutritional absorption, promote vaginal health in woman, and much more. (Click here for further information.)

A: A balanced gut microbiota is key to ensuring proper digestive functioning and to promoting overall health. Accordingly, disruption of the healthy balance between good and bad bacteria in the gut can create many symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux or nutrients malabsorption and, it can even be the cause of an inflammatory bowel disease. Insufficient number of good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract can also promote the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria that cause infections like urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, systemic yeast overgrowth, ear infections and oral infections.

A: These friendly bacteria colonize, multiply and perform their beneficial functions along the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus but mainly in the intestines.

A: Probiotic bacteria improve digestibility and assimilation of the nutrients and minerals in the foods that are ingested into the body through the mouth, resulting in a stronger immune system, enhanced energy levels and better overall health.

A: Yes. When aging, the human body progressively loses its supply of beneficial bacteria, especially its bifidobacteria. For that simple reason, it is important for everyone, regardless of age, to replenish the lost probiotic bacteria by taking a good probiotic supplement including multiple strains of bifidobacteria. *NOVA Probiotics has a special formula for older adults: The Progressive 55+ years – with 42 Billion live cells per capsule from 14 medicinal probiotic strains.*

A: Yes. You can find probiotics in few fermented dairies or veggies and in some beverages like Kombucha. However, the quantities remain little even when compared to the weakest NOVA Probiotics, product that contains 4 Billion live cells per capsule.

A: No. The problem is that the bacteria in the foods are easily destroyed by the strong acids and bile salts of the stomach.

A: Because NOVA uses microencapsulation and enteric-coating as protections to ensure survival of the bacteria up to the small intestines where the metabolism, digestion and absorption of nutrients mainly take place.

A: There is good evidence that the longer you can maintain the health of your body, the longer you will live. Providing your body with superior-quality probiotic supplements like NOVA Probiotics helps improve metabolism, enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients, and strengthens the immune system. These are factors that contribute to maintenance of health, which in turn may support longevity of physical life.
