Case Study: Prebiotics + Heart Health Formula Reduced Cholesterol 22% in 30 Days

A recent study conducted by Dr. Bill Misner, PhD, Director R&D, Emeritus, Hammer Nutrition, demonstrated reduced cholesterol with the use of Prebiotin - Heart Health formula. The study, an anecdotal examination of two subjects, showed reduced cholesterol in both an active endurance athlete with already-good cholesterol, and a sedentary non-active individual with high cholesterol.

A 69-year male endurance athlete & 56-year female non-athlete consumed a supplement containing 7-grams fiber with a prebiotic daily for 30-days to determine if "Prebiotin" had a positive effect on bowel health and reducing cholesterols.

Two subjects one with low-normal healthy cholesterol and one with elevated cholesterol taking “Prebiotin” probiotic-fiber supplement daily significantly lowered cholesterol levels both unexpectedly -6% and -22% respectively in only 30 days time.

The case study here is not represented as indicative of Prebiotin's potential to decrease cholesterol for any specific subject or in general. These results should be treated as anecdotal information for consideration only.

A Buyer's Guide to Prebiotics and Prebiotic Supplements

Congratulations on considering a prebiotic supplement. Supporting health, digestion and immunity with a prebiotic is certainly something we recommend.

But not all prebiotics are created equal. We hope you will consider Prebiotin, but would like to suggest a few key considerations you should ask of _any_ prebiotic supplement you may consider:

1) Does the prebiotic company engage in safe manufacturing processes

a. Is it manufactured in the U.S.A. or overseas, e.g. China. Do they even tell you where it’s made?

b. Has the facility been inspected by the FDA?

c. Does the facility follow the FDA’s “GMP” (Good Manufacturing Process) requirements to ensure safety and lack of contamination.

2) Is it actually a prebiotic?

a. Fructo-Oligosaccharides and Galacto-Oligosaccharides are the only ingredients that authorities agree have fully met the ‘proof’ of being prebiotics.

b. Not all FOS and GOS are created equal: Does the prebiotic offer a full-spectrum prebiotic such as Oligofructose-Enriched-Inulin, or simply “inulin” or “FOS” – much cheaper alternatives without the same research-proved benefits.

c. Does the product use alternative ingredients that are only “possible prebiotics” or have only “prebiotic effects” - such as agave, isomalto-oligosaccharide, dextrin, lactulose, etc.

3) Is the prebiotic company medically credible and responsible?

a. Does the prebiotic contain only natural ingredients?

b. Does the prebiotic add unnecessary calories, carbs, fat, sugar, salt or other ingredients to your diet?

c. Does the prebiotic list all ingredients and include a full “nutrition info” panel on the packaging?

d. Does the prebiotic provide information on the research, studies and clinical proof standing behind its product?

4) Is the prebiotic made by a “real” company you can contact, and which tells you openly about itself and its policies?

a. Does the prebiotic company have a website with a thorough “about us” page, a toll-free number, a physical mailing address and other ways to ensure they’re “real” and that you can reach them if needed?

b. Is there a physician, PhD or other real ‘authority’ who stands behind the product, or is it just an anonymous “supplement company.”

c. Does the company focus as a specialist in prebiotics? Or, do they offer many products on a “whatever’s selling these days” basis?

We hope you'll visit http://www.prebiotin.com and consider Prebiotin for yourself or your loved ones. We certainly do run our company and product in accordance with the concerns noted above. But whatever you do... ask questions before you start taking ANY supplement into your body! You deserve answers and the truth!

New Study: Prebiotin Primary Ingredient May Stop Cancer Cells

Study, as reported in British Journal of Medicine, says Oligofructose-Enriched-Inulin - the exact prebiotic used in Prebiotin - may prevent the growth, and promote the death of cancer cells in the colon. In the Journal's peer-reviewed article, we learn that human colon cells representing early and late stages of colon cancer were exposed to short chain fatty acids - produced during the fermentation of prebiotic fiber. The early stage cells “responded more sensitively”, according to the research results.

The research was conducted by incubating bacterial samples with Oligofructose-Enriched Inulin (OEI).

OEI, the exact prebiotic used in Prebiotin, is a natural, plant-derived compound of oligofructose and inulin together. Unlike plain inulin, which ferments mostly in the right-hand side of the colon, OEI creates beneficial bacteria fermentation and production of short-chain fatty acids throughout the colon. Most prebiotic products and supplements use plain inulin, a far cheaper ingredient than OEI.

The researchers note: “Since early [cancer] cells were found to be more sensitive, this may have important implications for chemoprevention when translated to the in vivo situation, because survival of early transformed cells could be reduced,”

Even beyond this latest study, there is more peer-reviewed clinical research that suggests the relationship between prebiotics and colon cancer.

One study says "Probiotics and Prebiotics have the potential to impact significantly on the development, progression and treatment of colorectal cancer and may have a valuable role in cancer prevention."

Yet another states: "There is substantial experimental evidence to suggest that probiotics and prebiotics may be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer."

One more states: "Dietary synbiotics reduce cancer risk factors in polypectomized and colon cancer patients."

Prebiotin contains the exact prebiotic ingredient used in this latest study which "suggests that the intake of prebiotic dietary fibres...protects against colorectal cancer."

For those seeking to add prebiotics to their diet, Prebiotin suggests consumers seek a supplement which does not add excess fat, calories or sugar, which contains a full-spectrum prebiotic, not just cheap inulin, and which is manufactured under the FDA's "GMP" guidelines in a certified facility.
