NutriCology Securil has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Nutricology Sécuril is a novel formulation that contains a special type of probiotic bacteria found in food called Propionibacterium freudenreichii, which can simultaneously function as a prebiotic. Propionbacterium freudenreichii produces propionic acid, a natural biological acid that benefits bifidus flora. The human digestive tract contains a complex bacterial ecosystem. Some unpleasant symptoms such as heaviness, bloating, reduced bowel frequency and flatulence are often the result of disturbed intestinal flora. Securil supports the development of endogenous bifido bacteria for healthy gastrointestinal function. Intestinal flora are essential to good digestive function, including assimilation of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids. A rich, balanced and well implanted flora may benefit human metabolism, and healthy intestinal function reinforces natural defenses. Ingredients Serving Size: 2 capsules Amount Per Serving Propionibacterium freudenreichii 10 Billion Other Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, FOS Suggested Use As a food supplement, take 1 or 2 capsules with water in the morning, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Warnings: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Not to be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Keep in a cool, dry place, tightly capped. Keep out of reach of children. More Info Studies show that the bacteria in Sécuril® survive and reproduce in the human gut, and that they significantly increase the levels of bifidobacteria and SCFA. PF produces a bifidogenic growth stimulator called 1,4-dihydroxy-2- napthoic acid (DHNA), which stimulates bifidus growth even at a very low concentration, and may inhibit undesirable bacteria. DHNA tolerates proteolytic enzymes and heat, allowing it to reach the large intestine where bifidobacteria mostly reside. Animal studies show that DHNA protects gut mucosa from inflammation, normalizes butyrate levels and helps restore healthy flora. Human research confirms that Sécuril® can increase healthy bifido flora in a matter of weeks, and thereby help normalize intestinal motility and transit time, and control putrefaction. Sécuril® contains no wheat, corn, soy, gluten, yeast, dairy, eggs or other common allergens. At the time of manufacture, each capsule contains 7.5 billion bacteria, in order to insure full label potency through date of expiration. Each capsule contains 260 mg of FOS. Sécuril® is produced by Compagnie Générale de Diététique - Laboratoire Yalacta, in France, and meets all European Union food supplement requirements for safety, purity, and potency. Strains are selected and deposited at the CNCM of the Pasteur Institute, titrating 5 billion bacteria per capsule. Sécuril® may be used by individuals of any age.
