Info: 60 Vegan Capsules
Due to a combination of lifestyle and aging factors, several things begin to suffer as men get older, including impaired and/or more sensitive digestive systems, and more finicky and/or demanding urinary systems. This formulation addresses both problems at once, with a combination of a multi-strain probiotic blend produced from Kambuchua, Kefir, and non-GMO soybeans to improve a number of digestive issues, and cranberry and saw palmetto to help prevent urinary infections and contend with an enlarged prostate.

Product Notes:
As part of their original line of Your Flora Probiotics, Living Alchemy uses a traditional fermentation process to create Kefi-Soy®: a living, whole food culture boasting nearly four dozen beneficial strains of bacteria to help repair the gut lining and to help prevent issues like indigestion, gas, bloating, and IBD symptoms.
And as the male counterpart to Your Flora WOMAN, this formulation has also been augmented with an organic cranberry extract, to help prevent bladder or urinary tract infections (which are not exclusive to women: an estimated 12% of men are subject to them, at some point), primarily by preventing certain types of bacteria from adhering to membranes, which makes them easier to expel.
Your Flora MAN also contains a key ingredient that is justifiably included in many formulations for relieving and delaying the progression of urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate or BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia), a condition that afflicts about half the male population of the age of fifty. Saw Palmetto may be able to help relax the smooth muscles within the prostate, to improve the flow, and may also help slow further prostate cell growth caused by inhibiting an enzyme which converts testosterone into a different form (dihydrotestosterone, DHT), which plays a significant role in prostate growth.
