PREBIOTICS are naturally occurring undigestible carbohydrates, which are found in high-fiber foods and feed the "good" bacteria living in your intestines. Prebiotics, in combination with probiotics, are needed to help keep your
intestines healthy.

Think of prebiotics as the "food" that fuels the growth of probiotics, or good bacteria, in your intestines to help maintain good intestinal health and healthy digestion, and increase the ability to absorb nutrients from the food you eat. If your body can extract more nutrients from nutritious food, you may feel less hungry and won't eat as much. This helps with weight loss!

ONE KEY PREBIOTIC IN SHAKEOLOGY IS:

Yacon Root

Has the highest concentration of prebiotics of any plant in the world

• May help to reduce cholesterol levels
• Supports a strong immune system
• Promotes the growth of friendly bacteria in the intestines

PROBIOTICS are strains of live good bacteria that help with the digestive process. They assist the body in absorbing nutrients and minerals, bring an overall balance to the digestive tract, and help support the immune system.

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL STRAINS OF PROBIOTICS IS:

Bacillus Coagulans (Lactobacillus Sporogenes)

While most probiotics get destroyed in the stomach by acids and never make it to the digestive tract, this one is different. This powerful strain is proven to pass through the digestive process, survive stomach acids, and reach the intestines, where it is intended to function.

• Supports a healthy colon
• Has been clinically shown to help with bloating
• Promotes strong digestive function

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are from plant sources, such as pineapples and papayas, that help your body break food down into its individual components, making nutrients easier to absorb. Cooking can destroy foods' natural digestive enzymes, so there's a good chance that you don't get enough of these enzymes in your diet.

TWO KEY DIGESTIVE ENZYMES FOUND IN SHAKEOLOGY ARE:

Bromelain

• Is a mixture of enzymes found
  in pineapples
• Helps with the digestion of protein
• Contains natural anti-inflammatory properties

Papain

• Is a protein-cleaving enzyme derived from papaya
• Used as a digestive aid
• Helps promote the body's natural inflammatory response
• Aids in helping the body dispose of excessive fluid following injury
