for their special benefits to the immune system. Along with preventing infective organisms from gaining
a foothold in the GI tract, these strains of bacteria also enhance the activity of immune cells.

Pre-biotics- Inulin IQ FOS
(Fructooligosaccharides) - One of the best-known probiotics, FOS is a class of simple
carbohydrates found naturally in certain plants, such as Jerusalem artichokes, onions and bananas.
FOS is known to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. It has been
shown to stimulate growth of Bifidobacterium in the colon facilitating good colonization.
Supplementing with FOS can greatly increase metabolic activity in the colon and help relieve
constipation and reduce the production of intestinal putrefactive substances. Healthy colon function
is vital to a properly functioning immune system.

Beta Glucans 1, 3-1, 6 - have potent immune stimulating properties that help with the production of
macrophages, the large white immune cells that attack aberrant cells in the body and remove toxic
debris. Beta glucans have also been shown to increase protection of the immune cells from the
damage of radiation. Many in the medical community concede that the increase of the microbial killing
activity of leukocytes and immune function, as a result of supplementing with Beta glucans, suggests
a clear effect on supporting a strong immune defense.

IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate) - a complex carbohydrate found in virtually all mammals, most
cereals, nuts and legumes and that is composed of the sugar inositol with six phosphate groups, is a
natural plant antioxidant. IP6 is one of the components of fiber that has been said to support good
gastrointestinal health. Increased cellular levels of IP-6 have been linked to increased immune system
activity. Additionally, IP6 has been shown to have potent antioxidant properties and to support normal
kidney function as well as normalize cholesterol and lipid levels. IP6 has no known toxic effects.

Zinc - is a trace mineral occurring in the body in larger
amounts than any other trace element except iron. It
serves many functions including acting as a constituent to
at least 25 enzymes involved in digestion and
metabolism. It aids in the absorption of many vitamins,
especially the B complex. Zinc is very important for proper
function of the thymus gland and thymus hormones, as
well as cellular immunity. Research indicates that the
health of the body’s natural killer cells may be dependent
on zinc intake for normal growth and development. Zinc
has been shown to enhance the immune system, reduce
excessive levels of free radicals, stimulate cell growth and
tissue repair and greatly contribute to overall health. Two
capsules of Pro-Biotics Plus ® supplies 100% of the daily
value of zinc.

Copper - is necessary for the growth, development and
maintenance of the bone, connective tissue, brain, heart
and many other body organs. It is involved in the Pro-Biotics Plus® is formulated
formation of red blood cells, the absorption and utilization By the author of
of iron, and the synthesis and release of life-sustaining “The Wonder of Probiotics”
proteins and enzymes. These enzymes in turn produce
cellular energy and regulate nerve transmission, blood
clotting and oxygen transport. Copper stimulates the immune system to repair injured tissue and
promote healing. Copper also helps to neutralize "free-radicals" which can cause severe damage to
cells.
