USANA® Probiotics

Your Gut is host to beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria ... 

Age, stress, illness, antibiotics and/or certain medicines, poor diet and hydration, lack of rest, and harmful environmental conditions may endanger the fine balance that is needed to support the normal intestinal flora. This imbalance can result in the reduction of beneficial bacteria in the gut which can lead to digestive concerns that may not only be physically uncomfortable but also possibly harmful to your health. Research suggests that friendly probiotics, play a role in sustaining healthy immune functions.  More immune cells are concentrated in the gut than in any other region of the body.

A healthy digestive system greatly reduces the likelihood of physical discomfort from gas, constipation, bloating, or occasional diarrhea, and it also facilitates consistent waste elimination from the body.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations defines probiotics as “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”

The USANA probiotics we choose: 

• are verified to supply 10 billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) of viable bacteria — a level shown to be effective in clinical studies
• contain strains that are well-documented to survive transit through the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach so they can colonize the intestines
• remain effective for at least 18 months when stored at room temperature
