Professor Pierre Desreumaux is the Head of the Inflammatory Digestive Diseases Research Unit at Lille University in France, and has been so for seventeen years to date. As a medical doctor and PhD holder he is both a skilled clinician and a top rated scientist, he is specially flown in to speak about the role the special yeast probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856 plays in relieving IBS as the active ingredient in The Prime Pro GIGuard, a special formulation design to combat Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS.
Over 800 million people suffer from a condition known as IBS, a gastrointestinal syndrome which is diagnosed according to the Rome III criteria as recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort (an uncomfortable sensation not described as pain).
More women (70%) than men (30%) suffer IBS and all ages are affected, from teenagers to the elderly. 21% of adults are affected in certain regions. However IBS is most commonly found in the age groups 30 – 50 years old.
An average of 15.6% of Malaysians suffer from IBS. Many people don’t even realise that this is a condition, with only 30% of sufferers consulting their doctors about this condition. There are many different remedies on the market, but only 8% of patients are satisfied with their particular remedy. The syndrome affects patients both physically and psychologically, impairing the patient’s ability to function emotionally, socially and professionally.
One way to combat Irritable Bowel Syndrome is to consume probiotics, a product readily available on the market. However, The Prime ProGIGuard is the only yeast probiotic available on the market, so that it can get rid of bad bacteria AND bad yeast, especially harmful candida yeast that can enter the bloodstream.
The Prime ProGIGuard is safe and fast acting, and has strong scientific support and clinically proven efficacy. Anyone from children aged two years and above can consume it, and it is a breakthrough in gastrointestinal pain management. It has been clinically proven to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms, and is suitable for anyone suffering from indigestion, food poisoning, food allergies or food intolerance, constipation, diarrhoea, trapped wind and bloating, overeating, anxiety, depression, stomach flu or even menstrual pain.
Studies have shown that sufferers of gastrointestinal pain and discomfort experienced a significant reduction in symptoms from the first week onwards of consumption and especially within the first two weeks to 15 days of consumption.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae in The Prime ProGIGuard works in IBS by several ways. One of the ways is that Saccharomyces cervisiae CNCM I-3856 secretes saccharolytic enzymes and assisting intestinal flora in generating short chain fatty acids that accelerates the bowel movements. It also acts as a visceral analgesic, increasing resistance to pain by up to 40%. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory to combat intestinal inflammation. It helps rebalance the bacteria in the gut, being shown to reduce the harmful bacteria Enterococcus, E. coli and C. albicans. The result is decreased inflammation, bloating, pain, discomfort, constipation among relief of the other symptoms of IBS.
