Wellness Article
You already know that Attune bars taste great, but do you know what probiotics are, and why Attune has the best probiotic strains?Probiotics:
"Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host (that's you).1 It is important to note that a particular bacterium only qualifies as a "probiotic" to the extent that its effects have been scientifically substantiated and documented, preferably through published, peer-reviewed human clinical trials.2Attune Foods Probiotics:
Our Strains:Attune includes a blend of three different certified probiotic strains that were selected based on their superior clinical efficacy and safety as well as demonstrated stability in our bars. These include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium lactis.
Delivering an Effective Dose:
We dose our bars to ensure that every bar delivers a minimum of 6.1 billion CFU's throughout shelf life of the bar and that each strain is dosed at the same amount or greater quantity as they were administered in successful clinical trials.
To further ensure that our products deliver an efficacious dose of probiotics throughout the shelf life of the bar, we've chosen ingredients (chocolate and yogurt coating) that have low water activity which protects the amount and integrity of the cultures. More importantly we have chosen to maintain our products in a refrigerated environment throughout the entire supply chain to ensure that we deliver the most effective dose of probiotics to you.
Now doesn't all that scientific research make those already great tasting bars that much more delicious! Just remember to see the biggest benefit you need to take probiotics on a daily basis, so make sure to add a daily Attune to your health regimen.
