Inflammatory Bowel Disease

There are a variety of different and equally uncomfortable chronic inflammatory bowel diseases out there, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s disease.

  • Probiotics facilitate the digestive process by producing enzymes that will help break down food and digest its nutrients.

  • They are effective in reducing the symptoms of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, as well as relieving the pains of digestion.

Skin Conditions

Skin conditions such as: Acne, Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis And many more can all benefit from regular probiotic use.

Strong probiotic supplementation not only yields benefit within the body, but also  on the outer layers such as the skin. The complex synergies between our probiotic strains have effects that are echoed  throughout the entire body’s ecosystem, protecting us (or even curing us) from many known skin ailments.

Travel Preparation

Preparing for travel includes boosting your immunity, preventing traveler’s diarrhea, finding aids to ease nausea, indigestion, and digestive issues.

  • For those who travel, probiotics can be real lifesavers as probiotics strengthen your immune system and help protect you against foreign pathogens.

  • Also, food and water treatment vary depending on the country you’re in, which can cause major digestive issues. Probiotics help you through the transition and protect your intestines from harm

Vegan Probiotics

Our VEGAN formulations include 4 medicinal dairy free strains, selected for their powerful and synergistic action on the entire intestinal tract. The products are assayed from 6 to 300 billion CFUs per capsule, reflecting health disparities and variations in terms of needs.

Probiotics are always beneficial, no matter what, but here is an overview of their main benefits and virtues throughout the different stages of life.

For seniors:

  • Your digestive tract can become weaker as you age, and some foods will be harder to digest. With probiotics, these foods, such a dairy, become easily digestible.

  • Probiotics are a great way to strengthen your immune system, and improve your health and  wellbeing as you age gracefully

For children:

  • Probiotics added to your child’s diet can greatly improve their digestive process and ward off diarrhea.

  • Probiotics will strengthen their immune system’s response to pathogens in the intestines, therefore facilitating the digestion of new and foreign foods while assisting with conditions such as colic and helping to fight infections.

For adults:

  • Nova offers formulas specifically tailored to both men and women in
    both our regular formula and our Vegan variations.

For pets:

  • Nova offers probiotics to pets in both our pet shop line and our veterinary line (for those who need an extra boost).

    The Pet Shop line is here to accompany your animal through the different stages of his life and make sure that no matter the challenges he faces, his immune and digestive system will be balanced, efficient and strong.

    The Veterinary line was created to address your pet’s specific health needs and medical issues. The veterinary line has several products that will nurse your pet back to health. This line offers products that contain between 3 to 7 billion probiotics per scoop and one prebiotic.
