Advances in microbiome research and technology allow us to grow our hardy and viable pedigreed Original probiotic strains. Our high potency Original probiotics, along with the B-Glucans, Beetroot, and Inulin offer heart healthy properties, GI support with plant fibers and probiotics, weight-management, regularity, and a boost in energy.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOats and oat beta glucan have enjoyed a rich cultural historicity and extensive research on heart health (Andersson \u0026amp; Hellstrand, 2012). From Shaper \u0026amp; Jones (1959) analysis of healthy dietary habits, to the Cornell China study in 1998, and the NIH report in 2015, dietary fibers, whole plant-based foods, and exercise are shown in research to be essential for a healthy heart. Oats and oat beta glucan are found to reduce serum LDL cholesterol (Ho et al., 2016; Zhu et al., 2015; Whitehead et al., 2014; Wolever et al., 2010), improve liver function (Chang et al., 2013), and promote bowel regularity (Clemens, 2012; Mobley et al., 2014).*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed beetroot offer a rich source of phyto-nutrients, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotenoids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Beets provide a source of dietary nitrate, shown in research to have important implication for heart health (Kapil et al., 2014). Beet’s nutrients are shown to prevent oxidation of LDLs, lower triglycerides, and balances blood pressure (Clifford et al., 2015; Eggenbeen et al., 2016; Hobbs et al., 2013). As a multifunctional food, beet also stimulate Phase II liver detox (Vulić et al., 2014), as well as perform a host of other health benefits, including the production of energy for exercise (Murphy et al., 2012), promotion of joint health (Pietrzkowski et al., 2010), Antioxidant (Georgiev et al., 2010), and support for individuals who undergo cancer treatments (Kapadia et al., 2013, 2011; Das et al., 2013).*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beta Glucan formula is comprised of our \u003cstrong\u003eBioImmersion Probiotic Master Blend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e–\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbiotics\u003c\/strong\u003e-\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium longum\u003c\/em\u003e;\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupernatant\u003c\/strong\u003e- probiotic metabolites, and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORNs\u003c\/strong\u003e.  65 billion CFU.  The Beta Glucans strains of lactic acid bacteria are pedigreed and certified, based on ATCC prototypical strains and confirmed routinely by 16sRNA sequencing to provide highest quality probiotic material.
