Continued from page 1 Altrum Manager Improves Probiotics Formula Celiac disease is caused by a reaction to gluten a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. For people like my daughter who are diagnosed with celiac disease, there is no cure, Zupec said. However, adhering to a strictly gluten-free diet is key to recovery. As quickly as a few weeks from someone being gluten free, the small intestine will repair itself, and the patient can live a normal life without symptoms. After learning about celiac disease, my focus quickly my family was taking. Many probiotic formulations contain gluten, which in my daughter s case is not an option. In fact, while researching ALTRUM Ultra Probiotics gluten free, and for that reason my family quit taking the ALTRUM product. New Knowledge Leads to New Formula Probiotics can be especially helpful for people with key marker of celiac disease, according to Dr. Mercola. Finding a probiotic that is gluten free is the only option for folks with the disease, Zupec said. Zupec realized the ALTRUM probiotic formula could be improved in a couple of key areas and set out to get the best product possible.

However, there are other strains of bacteria that are shelf-stable, he said. The end result is that the new Ultra Probiotics formula now offers our customers a product that is gluten free and shelf-stable. The product continues to offer nine powerful strains of probiotics per serving. that consumers can take a smaller dose. The new product comes with an increase in price per bottle, but customers save money because one bottle offers a two-month supply. consume one capsule per serving to get 20 billion CFU (colony forming units) per capsule, Zupec said. Our current product offers 26.5 billion CFU, but you have to take two capsules to get that amount. With the same amount of capsules per bottle (60 probiotic purchase lasting up to two months, rather than one month, when taking the recommended dosage. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
