Source Naturals Life Flora Review
What You Should Know
Life Flora, by Source Naturals is a probiotic product made with live microorganisms that improve digestive health. Probiotics are substances that change the digestive environment towards the favor of ìgoodî bacteria. The gastrointestinal tract is naturally filled with helpful and harmful bacteria, so adjusting the environment changes the balance between the two groups. By adding good bacteria or making the digestive tract more conducive to good bacteria, digestion and absorption are improved. These are the mechanics behind Source Naturals Life Flora, and it is available in powder and capsule forms.
List of Ingredients
The lists of active ingredients in Source Naturals Life Flora are Bifidobacterium lactis, paracasei subspecies paracasei, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
Product Features
Source Naturals Life Flora pricing details are available on the Source Naturals website, though retailers may offer discounts on bulk orders. The website itself does not sell the product, though links to retailers both online and offline are available.
The powder form makes this product more accessible for those who have trouble swallowing. It also contains milk or dairy and soy used in the culture of the microorganisms, so those with allergies or intolerance should take note.
As seen here, all of the main ingredients are microorganisms. These are live at the time of packaging, and are able to stay viable for long periods outside of their living environment. The capsule form contains some other ingredients used in encapsulation, like calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, and gelatin from the actual capsule.
Pro’s
- Works using natural biological processes.
- Purity of ingredients.
Con’s
- No mention of length of administration.
- Living components mean that the product has a shorter shelf life.
- Only bacteria, no other probiotics.
Conclusion
Source Naturals Life Flora is a niche product, catering specifically to one thing only, which in some ways is a good thing. Unfortunately, digestive health is complex and we cannot rely on one thing to improve it. Digestion requires not only bacteria but enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. This product could be better with some supplementary amounts of the other pro-digestive substances.
Since there is no recommended length of usage, one assume that this is to be taken daily for the rest of oneís life or however long one wishes. This is questionable and even possibly dangerous. This is especially true when dealing with living organisms, as imbalance in the balance of microorganisms can cause complications, regardless of how ìgoodî they are.
The product has a simple premise, but few promises. It has a very general claim which is to improve digestive health. It makes no promises such as colon cleansing or weight loss, so if you are looking for either of those two effects, then this is not the one for you.
