Intestinal Fortitude
How can L. plantarum OM create Intestinal Fortitude?
First we must look at the intestines to see what they do for us. The small and large intestines are basically the foundation of our being. They are responsible for supplying us with our primary source of energy; without it, we could not survive. Their function is simple: take in food, turn it into energy supplying and cell building nutritional elements, recycle fluids, and discharge waste. However, many of us are unaware that our body also has trillions of bacteria living within it.

The normal healthy intestinal flora (left) is heavily colonized with Probiotics (Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria).
Figure 2. (below) shows an electron microscopic view of how bacteria form their defensive layer described in Figure 1.
These friendly bacteria provide many benefits to our bodies. First they provide a barrier that protects us from invading Pathogens and harmful elements (unfriendly bacteria, viruses, toxins, chemicals, etc.). Second, they emit many beneficial byproducts that stimulate the immune system, suppress the growth of Pathogens, and perform other important tasks. Finally they assist us with the digestion and absorption of valuable nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. In some cases they actually synthesize vitamins and key nutritional elements from sources our bodies would not be able to use.
What is Lactobacillus plantarum-OM?
L. plantarum OM is a strain that exceeds all expectations in the normal realm of Probiotics. In fact, we consider it the best Probiotic strain available on the market today. What defines this “Super Probiotic”? Not only does it exhibit all the characteristics of other Probiotics, it also has beneficial properties that are far in excess of the typical Probiotics and represents an incredible potential in health maintenance applications. This new “Super Probiotic” is a new and novel strain recently awarded U.S. Patent # 5,895,758 for its anti-tumoral, anti-viral, anti-retroviral, and proteolytic capabilities.
L. plantarum OM exhibits stability, benefit, and application diversity far in excess of normal Probiotic strains. That is why we consider it the best Probiotic strain available on the market today.
