GI-ProBalance™ Slimsticks

A Simple and Delicious Way to Get a Good Gut Feeling

Mannatech's delicious yogurt flavored GI-ProBalance slimsticks contain a variety of probiotic bacteria and prebiotics that can positively affect health by improving the survival and growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This specially formulated synbiotic product supports a natural balance of good bacteria to maintain healthy digestion*, which helps to:

  • Promote natural immune function*

  • Improve nutrient absorption*

  • Guard against occasional digestive upsets and intestinal disturbances*

With over 70% of your body's immune cells located in the digestive tract, a healthy gut can help maintain a healthy immune system. Unfortunately, a number of factors can result in an imbalance of beneficial bacteria such as stress, aging and consumption of an unhealthy diet that is low in fiber and high in fat. Daily supplementation with GI-ProBalance slimsticks can help normalize the delicate balance of intestinal bacteria required to keep your digestive tract healthy, which in turn can help keep your whole body healthy.*

Developed from extensive research on the digestion and beneficial effects of Ambrotose® powder, GI-ProBalance slimsticks were formulated to enhance the benefits of Ambrotose products. The specially formulated probiotic blend breaks down the polysaccharides in the Ambrotose products, thereby enhancing the ability of both products to support the digestive and immune systems.*

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are probiotics and prebiotics?

Probiotics, also known as good or friendly bacteria, are live microorganisms that are very similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. Probiotics can provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.*
Prebiotics are nondigestible nutrients that stimulate the growth and/or activity of good bacteria in the digestive system. Prebiotics are typically dietary fibers.*

How are GI-ProBalance slimsticks different from GI-Pro® capsules?

While Mannatech's GI-Pro supplement is still a great probiotic product, GI-ProBalance powder represents a whole new generation of product and features the latest advancements in digestive health.* In addition to providing high levels of six different strains of probiotic bacteria and two different varieties of prebiotic, it also comes in a delicious yogurt-flavored powder that can be taken with or without food or beverage any time of day. The powder comes in an individual-serving slimstick that is convenient for travel and does not require refrigeration. The powder form also allows for a greater serving size, which means the product can deliver more probiotic and prebiotic in each serving. GI-ProBalance slimsticks contain 15 billion colony forming units (CFU) at the time of manufacture and 1.5 billion at the date of expiration.

How are GI-ProBalance slimsticks different from GI-Zyme® capsules?

Mannatech's GI-ProBalance slimsticks are a probiotic and prebiotic supplement formulated to contribute to a balance of natural healthy gut flora, which in turn supports healthy digestion and natural immune function.*
Mannatech's GI-Zyme capsules contain enzymes that help to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates more efficiently so they can be more easily digested.*

How does GI-ProBalance powder enhance the benefits of Ambrotose® products?

In vitro research suggests there may be an additive effect when GI-ProBalance powder is combined with Advanced Ambrotose® or classic Ambrotose complex products. The arabinogalactan in the Ambrotose products may be broken down and utilized by specific bacteria present in GI-ProBalance powder. At the same time, arabinogalactan is a prebiotic that has been shown to support the growth and proliferation of specific bacteria found in our GI-ProBalance product. The expected result is enhanced support from both products.*

Why do GI-ProBalance slimsticks contain soy?

While soy is not an ingredient in the product, it was a part of the source medium in which the bacteria strains are grown; therefore, the product may contain trace amounts of soy.

Why do GI-ProBalance slimsticks contain maltodextrin?

The maltodextrin in GI-ProBalance slimsticks serves as a flow agent and helps to give the product its powder consistency. This ingredient makes the product easy to package for the manufacturer and easy to pour and mix for the end consumer.
There are two types of maltodextrin commonly available. One is an easily digested high-glycemic grade, while the other is a low-glycemic, digestive-resistant, soluble fiber commonly known by the brand name Fibersol-2. It is this second low-glycemic version that is used in the production of GI-ProBalance powder, and it's actually a source of fiber that can provide health benefits when consumed in adequate quantities.*
