For years scientists had studied health benefits of a "good" bacteria called lactobacillus found in foods like yogurt, milk and certain cheeses. Of the strains they were able to isolate and test, they found that most could not consistently survive the strong acids of the stomach and intestinal bile.
Enter Dr. Sherwood L. Gorbach and Barry R. Goldin. These two doctors embraced the challenge and set out to discover the ultimate probiotic power - a strain strong enough, sticky enough, fertile enough to survive the stomach acids and colonize in the intestines successfully.
What they found was Lactobacillus GG. A probiotic unlike any other.
NOT ALL PROBIOTICS ARE CREATED EQUAL Lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Bifidobacterium bifidum they all have big names, but not all probiotic strains have big impact. Culturelle is the only all-natural supplement to feature Lactobacillus GG, the most clinically studied probiotic and one of the strongest at surviving those good-bacteria-gobbling stomach acids and sticking in the intestinal tract.
THE SKINNY ON YOGURT Most yogurts are packaged with 1 billion live good cells far less than the 10 billion in each capsule of Culturelle. Our probiotic strain, Lactobacillus GG, has also been proven to better stick and multiply in the digestive tract.
DONT BELIEVE THE PACKAGING Many brands list the number of live cells at time of manufacture, NOT the number at the time of use. Many products are also not manufactured or packaged in ways that insure you will receive any live bacteria when you take it. Compare that to Culturelle, which guarantees at least 10 billion live cells at the time of use! In fact, each of our capsules is individually double-foil-protected and packed in such a way to keep light, moisture, heat and air out to assure stability and maximum potency.
TESTIMONIALS
"My daughter who is 17 was having stomach problems and gastrointestinal distress. When she was xrayed by her doctor, they founds dozens of gas pockets in her stomach. She has been Culturelle for 30 days now and has virtually no stomach problems and/or pain whatsoever since beginning the Culturelle. Our doctor has recommended we keep her Culturelle indefinitely. I am grateful for your product and how much it has helped my daughter. She is a "different" teenager now that she no longer suffers gas and bloating. THANK YOU CULTURELLE!"
"After years of untimely intestinal flare-ups that caused me to miss many workdays and countless holidays and family functions, my gastroenterologists recommended a colostomy. I believed that this was the only way for me to regain some control over my life. At the insistence of my wife, I agreed to seek one last medical opinion. My new gastroenterologists persuaded me to hold off on the colostomy and add a probiotic to my diet. She suggested Culturelle because she used it herself. I have been using Culturelle for three months and noticed immediate improvements in my gastrointestinal health. I havent felt this good in many years! I finally have the confidence to do the every day things with my family and friends that I have missed for years Thank you!"
"I have a history of various health issues, including digestive. I've found that when taking Culturelle daily I have considerably less issues with my digestive system or symptoms like diarrhea or constipation. Whenever I run out or forget to take it for a few days my symptoms return, I have recommended this to lots of friends and family members. My doctor was surprised to see I had started taking this since she was going to recommend that I start using it because she herself uses it and thinks it's wonderful. I currently am giving it to my sons and I am anxious to see if it helps them as well!"
"I am only 24 years old and always had many digestive issues. I occasionally had indigestion, heartburn, periods of constipation and diarrhea, bloating, and gas on a daily basis for many years. My OB/GYN specializes in alternative meds. He suggested Culturelle and I frankly haven't felt better in my life. No gas, no bloating, no heartburn. People ask me if I lost weight because my stomach is flatter...for the first time in my life! Thank you for this wonderful product!"
