San Antonio, TX – Texans are well experienced with the stomach aches that can follow “Texas style” meals as well as the gastrointestinal woes that often result during trips to Mexico. While these disorders are common occurrences, the notion of a helpful daily dietary supplement – a probiotic – is a new concept that has gained interest from health experts and gastroenterologists alike, and its benefits are far superior to that of yogurt.
The gastrointestinal tract hosts trillions of bacteria and maintains overall gastrointestinal health by keeping harmful bacteria restrained. The presence of healthful bacteria aids in the tract’s suppression of the bacteria that are often associated with gastrointestinal disorders. However, certain factors such as poor dietary habits and the use of antibiotics can disrupt the balance of bacteria,
causing harmful bacteria to offset the good. This imbalance can result in common gastrointestinal disorders such as gas, bloating, distention and irritable bowel syndrome. The introduction of a daily probiotic, however, can enhance the immune system and digestive functions.
EndoMune, the newest probiotic on the market, was created by San Antonio Gastroenterologist, Lawrence J. Hoberman, M.D. “As a Gastroenterologist in practice for more than 25 years, I’ve found that
probiotics benefited many of my patients. Unfortunately, not all probiotics are the same,” Hoberman says. “Looking at the labels on products in the health food stores and online, I realized it was not possible to determine which probiotic to recommend. I decided to develop the most effective, safest and highest quality probiotic supplement possible.”
EndoMune is intended to promote the health of the gastrointestinal tract through the introduction of live bacterial cells. Unlike some other products, each EndoMune capsule has 6 billion live bacterial cells of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli strains that are major members of the human gut microflora. These organisms are the main health-enhancing gut bacteria and have been selected from naturally occurring bacterial strains. It’s these microorganisms that may provide these healthful benefits: Lessen the risk for antibiotic associated diarrhea; Protect against developing traveler’s diarrhea; Ease constipation; Improve lactose intolerance; Enhance absorption of essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc; Reduce potential colonic carcinogens, and; Reduce cholesterol absorption.
