Why is Sustenex® more effective than yogurt?
In a lab study of a simulated gastric stomach environment, Sustenex® delivered more than 10 times the live cells than a leading probiotic yogurt.**
-
What is BC30?
BC30 is a powerful strain of probiotics or "beneficial" bacteria that can help regulate your digestive tract and boost your immune system.* It was included in Sustenex® because this probiotic bacteria is able to survive stomach acid and is able to perform many beneficial functions in the digestive system.*
-
What makes Sustenex® different?
The probiotics found in capsules, tablets and yogurt are extremely fragile and thus few cells survive and populate the intestines - providing minimal health benefits. The probiotic bacteria in Sustenex®, BC30 is the clear choice because its cells are protected by a hardened layer of organic material and can withstand your body's hostile gastric environment. The Sustenex® probiotics survive and successfully deliver millions of live probiotic (helpful bacteria) cells exactly where your body needs them the most... your digestive tract.
-
Who should take Sustenex®?
Sustenex
® is recommended for adults and children ages 12 and over.
A healthy digestive system is crucial to everyone; therefore, everyone can benefit from taking Sustenex® daily.* Furthermore, as you age, the number of positive bacteria naturally occurring in your digestive system drops, further amplifying the need for probiotics.
-
What can I expect after taking Sustenex®?
If you're currently experiencing digestive distress, you may experience a healthy digestive balance in just a few days. Otherwise, Sustenex® will quietly and gently establish more healthy bacteria in your intestinal tract to defend against harmful bacteria and boost your immune system.*
-
Can I take Sustenex® with medications or food?
Yes. Sustenex® is not a drug. It is a daily dietary supplement that contains healthy bacteria, BC30. There are no reported interactions with BC30 with any medications or food.* If you have questions, consult your physician.
-
Are there any side effects of taking Sustenex®?
In the first few days you may experience some gas while your system adjusts to the additional beneficial bacteria. This is a good sign that the "beneficial" bacteria in Sustenex® are working to rebalance your digestive system and strengthen your immune system.*
-

How does Sustenex® support your immune system?
Sustenex® with BC30 helps support your immune system by replenishing your digestive tract with beneficial bacteria cells, otherwise known as probiotics. These probiotics support your immune system by keeping the levels of beneficial and harmful bacteria balanced, creating an optimal environment in which the immune system can function.
-
Why does your digestive system need probiotics?
Many factors such as poor diet, changes in diet, age, antibiotic use, travel, illness, medications, stress and hormonal changes can disturb your intestinal balance and decrease the level of beneficial bacteria in your digestive system. Taking a daily probiotic supplement like Sustenex® can restore healthy bacterial levels.
-
Can Sustenex® be taken with other Digestive Advantage® products?
