Terra Nova manufacturers and sells a variety of supplements aimed at promoting overall health and well being. Terra Nova produces a probiotic supplement called "probiotic blend," which contains a number of probiotics as well as several herbs that carry a variety of health benefits. You can take a probiotic supplement to promote digestive health.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
This probiotic is the most prominent probiotic in Terra Nova's probiotic blend. According to the Mayo Clinic, Lactobacillus acidophilus is beneficial to human health because it helps produce vitamin K and anti-microbial substances that help fight disease. Lactobacilli normally exist in the human intestine and vagina, but taking a supplement with additional amounts of this "good bacteria" can help promote overall well-being. You should not take a supplement with Lactobacillus acidophilus if you have intestinal damage or overgrowth of intestinal bacteria.
Other Probiotics
In addition to Lactobacillus acidophilus, this supplement contains additional probiotics. The probiotic blend consists of 840 million organisms of Bifidobacterium lactis, 560 million organisms of Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and 350 million organisms of Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus thermophilus. These probiotics promote well being by helping to maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the intestines. Your doctor may suggest a probiotic if you are taking antibiotics, which throw off the balance of microorganisms. According to the National Center of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, the use of a probiotic supplement may help to stave off diarrhea caused by antibiotics.
Herbs
Terra Nova also includes its "magnifood complex" in its supplement, which includes 75 mg of burdock root, 25 mg of beetroot juice and greens and 25 mg of stabilized rice bran. According to Terra Nova, all of these herbs have unique health benefits. Burdock root carries prebiotic properties that help enhance the effects of beneficial bacteria such as probiotics. Beet root and greens are a further probiotic source, containing oligosaccharide inulin. Stabilized rice bran is included in the mix because it contains fiber, which promotes a healthy digestive tract, which is necessary for proper functioning of probiotics.
Capsule
Terra Nova's capsule for the probiotic and herb mix is a vegetable capsule shell that is made with 100 mg of fructooligosaccharides. Along with the ingredients inside the capsule, this product contains zero animal products or substances. This capsule is also free of excipients, an inactive material that carries active ingredients of a supplement. This product is appropriate for both vegetarian and vegan diets.
