-There are so many probiotic strains out there
How do I know which one is the best for me?
Wow, that is a really good question out there,
and that is something that we are constantly evaluating.
There is, it seems like every single day, there's somebody
coming out with new probiotics.
You have pharmaceutical companies right now.
Coming out, we have such a trend right now.
Gut trend. I've been talking about Gut health for 20 years,
and finally it's one of the trending topics right now
that everybody wants to get into.
The pharmaceutical companies
are buying up all the probiotic manufactures.
And you know, we're started to see more and more strains
being patented.
We're seeing more and more formulas coming out.
The only way I can answer that question is, you know,
we... I constantly look at ways we can improve probiotics,
and it's not only probiotics but it's prebiotics.
Prebiotics are what the probiotics feed on.
You know, we are constantly looking at new probiotics
that we can put on our formulas.
One of the things I love about the Latero-Flora
is that it's a spore forming.
So I would recommend soil based microorganisms.
Which you can actually get
if you still have a little bit of dirt left on your.
If you have your own garden, you still have a little bit
of dirt on your fruits and your vegetables.
I suggest the Floratrex product that we have,
because we put and use the best sources of probiotics
that we can find that are all cultured.
It goes inro quality also.
I recommend that if you're taking a probiotic,
I'm not saying that most of the probiotics out there
are fairly decent, because most people use it.
There's only some any strains that you can use, right?
The issue is with how those probiotics were cultured.
Were those probiotics cultured on GMO soy base?
Were those probiotics cultured on a gelatin base?
Gelatin from USDA slaughter houses.
How were those probiotics made?
And what conditions, and then
a lot of people spray dry the probiotics.
This is the second issue I would ask anybody who
you're getting probiotics from.
Because we looked at all these things
when we do all of our probiotics.
And I can tell you that the majority of probiotics
out there are sprayed with maltodextrin.
They're sprayed with magnesium steroids.
They're sprayed with some sort of synthetic fat
vegetable magnesium steroid or something
which ends up clogging the liver
and is very, very hard to eliminate
from the body.
So it's not necessarily
when you're looking at probiotic strains,
how do you know which one is the best for you?
It's more or less looking at the company,
do you trust the company?
Is it a high quality company?
Do they have lots of good reviews?
How long has the company been around?
Calling the company asking them
about is the probiotic formula vegan?
That's a big question.
How are they doing the processing on the probiotics?
Are the probiotics safe to use?
Are the probiotics safe to use at a high level?
And are the probiotics unique?
You know Latero-Flora was developed,
the Bacillus laterosporus strain
was found to be extremely effective
at fighting off fungus, yeast and mold.
And that's a huge situation that we're dealing with today.
So it takes a lot of,
with your health,
I still have to do a lot of research on myself
and a lot of research on my health
and I've been doing it for 20 years.
It's like making it a priority
that you take care of your health.
With everybody and their brother and their sister
and everybody trying to get into this market right now.
I can tell you we probably have two or three offers
from big pharmaceutical companies.
Or private equity companies that are trying to buy us.
Every single week.
And it's sad, this is a family owned business.
Since 1998, we've never taken
any private equity from anybody.
Because we're here with our one mission.
And our mission is you, the customer.
And getting the right information out to you.
And we're going to stay a family owned,
and family run company.
Because I don't want to be told what to sell
and what to do because of money
or to make shareholders happy.
That's just not the way I am.
I mean this was a mission,
this was a vision I had a long time ago.
This is something I love to do.
This is a passion of mine.
And what better job in the world is there?
Than to help people every single day.
You know, a lot of our profits go
to helping plant trees,
helping, were gonna
people have been asking us what we do with our money,
and how we give it back.
I personally help people for free.
People that need help that are suffering
from conditions that don't have any money.
We spend thousands and thousands of dollars
giving free care to people.
I don't see patients.
I'm not allowed to see patients
because of the FDA and because of what we're doing.
Which is another really sad thing that people that really
are out there and doctors that care and that are passionate
about helping people are not allowed to do so
because of the threats from the pharmaceutical companies.
And all the other stuff.
But you know, that's what it's all about.
It's about helping people
and giving people the right knowledge
and helping people change their life.
So probiotics, you know you're gonna have
to just find and do a little bit of research on that.
And determine which ones you think work the best.
It's not bad to change those up either.
You know taking different probiotics
and trying new strains of probiotics out there.
So I mean in my opinion,
really don't every buy probiotics again
from the grocery store or from cheap places.
Just don't buy cheap probiotics.
Most everybody uses the same strains,
they might have a few different ones.
But for the most part everybody uses the same strains.
The big difference you're gonna find is the fillers,
excipients, and how the strains were grown.
That's what I would look at.
