The Sustenex® Advantage

With its exceptional survivability, Sustenex® is the probiotic supplement you've been looking for.

Not All Probiotics are Created Equal

Some die in the manufacturing process. Some die on the shelf. Some die without refrigeration. And those that do survive are often destroyed by your stomach's acids and intestinal bile. Sustenex® with the probiotic BC30 is different.

The Sustenex® Advantage

Sustenex® contains the probiotic bacteria BC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086). Inside each cell of BC30, the delicate probiotic genetic is surrounded by a naturally-occurring protective shield. This protective layer helps BC30 survive the heat and pressure of manufacturing and stomach acids to arrive alive in your intestines* where they can have the greatest digestive health benefit. Other traditional probiotic bacteria, including Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus, don't contain this protective shield, making them vulnerable.

Because Sustenex® with BC30 can survive to reach your intestinal tract, it can provide added protection against occasional digestive upsets, including occasional diarrhea.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
Initial studies are revealing that BC30, the probiotic bacteria in Sustenex®, have significantly higher survival rates than some other probiotic capsules, pills and yogurts. That means that more beneficial bacteria reach your intestines where they can have the greatest benefit.

What to Look For in a Probiotic Supplement

The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) has developed a set of guidelines called The P's and Q's of Probiotics: A Consumer Guide for Making Smart Choices that lists five criteria that consumers should consider when selecting a probiotic supplement: probiotic strain, clinical testing, packaging, quality, and quantity.

Here's how Sustenex® stacks up to these three criteria:

• Probiotic Strain: Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 (BC30) is the specific, patented probiotic strain inside each capsule of Sustenex® that can help maintain digestive and immune health.*

• Clinical Testing: BC30 has been the focus of several published clinical studies and has been featured in peer-reviewed journals.

• Quality and Quantity: The packaging and labeling of Sustenex® meet all World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations by clearly stating:

  • Strain: Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086
  • Colony-forming units (CFU): 2 x 109 (2 billion) live bacteria
  • Suggested serving size: One capsule daily
  • Health benefits: Maintains the immune system and supports digestive health.
  • Proper storage conditions: Store at or below room temperature; refrigeration not required.
  • Corporate contact information: Sustenex.com or (800) 456-0276
  • Calorie content: 0 calories in each capsule

Occasional Diarrhea

Occasional diarrhea is an uncomfortable situation that can have many causes. Most of the time, diarrhea will go away on its own. However, in some instances, diarrhea can linger around and impact and inconvenience your life. While there are many products to choose from, Sustenex® is different because it contains the probiotic bacteria BC30 which can help protect against occasional diarrhea.* To learn more, please visit our occasional diarrhea page.

Is Taking Multiple Strains of Probiotic Bacteria Better Than Just One?

It's not uncommon to have multiple strains of probiotic bacteria in one probiotic supplement, for example Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus Acidophilus. However, while these types of products may claim greater digestive health benefits, our published clinical research has shown the digestive health benefits of using just one, powerful, prolific probiotic strain - BC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086). So while including big sounding names, like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus make look impressive as ingredients, the real test is how they perform.

Sustenex® - For Digestive & Immune Fitness

That's what is says on the front of every box of Sustenex®. Question is... what does "digestive and immune fitness" mean?

The word "fitness" it usually associated with "physical fitness" and conjures up images of people working out in a gym. However, we'd like to suggest there's another type of fitness... digestive and immune fitness. While traditional physical fitness involves being fit on the outside, taking a probiotic supplement like Sustenex® can help you stay fit on the inside. Plus, when you consider that over 70% of your immune system cells reside in your intestinal tract, it's clear to see how keeping your insides in shape can help have a positive affect on your overall health.
