Gut Reseed Kit: Step 6

What are the supplements in the kit?

• S. Boulardii - Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast that acts as a probiotic, supporting optimal gut health and immune function.* This formula contains 10 billion CFU of S. boulardii per serving, does not require refrigeration, and is able to survive the harsh environment of the GI tract to deliver its benefits in the large intestine.
• Spore Flora - A broad-spectrum, spore-based probiotic used to optimize gastrointestinal health. It contains soil-based microorganisms that are found in the earth, from the Bacillaceae family (bacillus coagulans, bacillus subtilis, bacillus clausii). Spore-forming probiotics, unlike most traditional probiotics, remain stable and resistant to the low pH of stomach acid, resulting in the delivery of more intact probiotics to the intestines.*
• ProB 50 - A highly potent, shelf-stable, gluten- and dairy-free probiotic formulation containing 50 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) per serving. This formula is delivered in gastro-resistant capsules and consists of 18 well-researched, identity-certified HOWARU^® probiotic strains, selected for their complementary actions, safety, viability, and stability.
• Microphage - A specialized bacteriophage (phage) formulation combining four types of phages (benevolent viruses that selectively target bacteria) along with seven strains of probiotics. This product is designed to support the rapid reproduction of beneficial bacteria throughout the small and large intestines, to promote healthy gastrointestinal and immune function.*

What are the benefits of the supplements in the Kit?

• S. Boulardii - May be beneficial for supporting a healthy microbial balance, healthy gut lining, and normal secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), as well as providing support against pathogens that can damage the gut lining, supporting healthy and regular bowel movements, and balancing levels of opportunistic yeast and bacteria.*
• Spore Flora - Contains five targeted Bacillus strains, which have the natural ability to produce a multitude of enzymes, secretory proteins (proteins secreted by cells), antimicrobial compounds, vitamins, and carotenoids (beneficial antioxidants).* This spore-based probiotic formula is designed to assist with digestion and nutrient absorption, stimulate the microflora balance in the intestines, support immune function, promote regular bowel movements, and aid bowel health.
• ProB 50 - May be beneficial for supporting optimal digestion and nutrient assimilation, maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut, supporting a normal immune response, and maintaining bowel regularity. It can also help replenish beneficial bacteria in the gut, such as after a course of antibiotics. The capsules are gastro-resistant, come in nitrogen-purged blister packaging, and do not require refrigeration, making ProB 50 a practical option for those with a busy lifestyle.*
• Microphage - Contains bacteriophages that may support an increase in beneficial bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal tract, promote healthy function of the gastrointestinal and immune systems, are active in both the small and large intestines.. Microphage is dairy-free and utilizes a delayed-release capsule to help ensure delivery of active bacteriophage to the small intestine, without getting destroyed by stomach acid.

How long can I take the supplements in the Kit?
S. Boulardii and Microphage can be taken for three months to two years. Spore Flora and ProB 50 can be taken for one month or long-term.

Can the supplements be taken with thyroid medication?
The supplements in this Kit should be taken at least 30 to 60 minutes away from thyroid medications. As with any supplement or lifestyle change, testing your thyroid hormone levels every 30-90 days to see if a medication adjustment is needed, is recommended.

Please Note: The Warnings and Precautions below include those for all supplements within the Gut Reseed Kit. For information in regards to a specific product within the Kit, please refer to the individual product page.

Not to be used by those who have an indwelling vascular catheter, are immunocompromised, or have risk factors for adverse events (e.g. patients with central venous catheters or increased bacterial translocation). Do not use if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients in this supplement.

Consult with a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if a yeast allergy or Crohn’s disease is present.⁺

DO NOT TAKE if taking the following medications: antibiotics⁺⁺ and/or blood thinners

⁺In some cases of Crohn’s disease, S. boulardii may cross-react with antibodies to anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (another type of yeast). There is also potential for cross-reactions with yeast allergies. These cases are rare, but should be discussed with your provider before starting S. boulardii, to make sure it is appropriate for your needs.

⁺⁺The recommendation to avoid taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is based on the fact that antibiotics could reduce the effectiveness of probiotics. However, research shows that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics can help prevent diarrhea which may result from the use of antibiotics. To prevent destruction of probiotic activity, it is recommended to take probiotics and antibiotics at least two hours apart from one another.*
