First Responders – they do so much to keep the rest of us safe and healthy. Unfortunately, this may come at the expense of their own health.
The fast-paced and highly stressful nature of working as a First Responder can make it difficult to maintain healthy eating habits.
Though they may want to eat healthy, emergency calls may interrupt mealtimes and force First Responders to snack on processed foods, consume chemically-based energy drinks, or eat large portions of food quickly, causing clumps of food particles to build up in the digestive tract.
Undigested food is linked to a number of problems, including: indigestion, heartburn, constipation, digestive inflammation, diarrhea, and even more serious health problems.
To deal with these types of issues, First Responders may begin to regularly take antacids. However, there is a better, more natural, healthier solution.
Defender is a health-enhancing dietary supplement formulated specifically with First Responders in mind. It contains a blend of four bacteriophages along with four different strains of probiotics.
Probiotics and bacteriophages are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to support optimal digestive function and dramatically improve the body’s natural defenses against illness-causing microorganisms.
More specifically, these two powerful agents target digestive issues such as gastrointestinal upset, inflammation, and intestinal infections, among others.
They also have antimicrobial properties that directly target harmful invaders. Therefore, this combination heightens immunity, supports proper digestive function, promotes the optimal balance of healthy bacteria in the gut, and helps sustain daily health.
Not only does Defender have the right ingredients, but it also comes in a delayed-release capsule, which ensures that the ingredients within it remain biologically active as they travel through the digestive tract.
Now more than ever is the time to ensure that First Responders are consistently consuming key nutrients that are strong enough to destroy a wide variety of pathogens and reduce the occurrence of digestive issues that are related to irregular eating patterns that often accompany this profession.
Bacteriophages:
The blend of bacteriophages in Defender function as prebiotics that promote the growth of healthy bacteria (probiotics) in the gut.
Research shows that they attack the cell wall of pathogens, which leads to the release of essential nutrients probiotics can use as well as the death of the pathogen.
This process prevents harmful invaders from continuing to grow or consume nutrients that probiotics need. Accordingly, the presence of bacteriophages in the gut is associated with increased numbers of probiotics and decreased levels of pathogens.
This supports an intestinal environment in which probiotics can thrive and promote optimal digestive function.
Probiotics:
The four different strains of healthy bacteria in Defender are also essential toward maintaining good health because probiotics support the body's absorption of important nutrients while promoting the breakdown of triglycerides, body fat, and cholesterol.
Specific strains such as bifidobacterium lactis, which is found in Defender, improve digestion, enhance the absorption of vitamins and minerals (e.g., B vitamins, zinc, calcium, magnesium), and disrupt the growth of harmful microorganisms in the gut.
Another strain that can be found in Defender is Lactobacillus acidophilus, which is one of the most well-known probiotics.
This particular strain restores the proper balance of healthy bacteria in the gut and targets gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, constipation, and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
These benefits are associated with two of the potent probiotic strains in this exclusive supplement, and a total of four have been included in the formulation to further support optimal health.
In addition to probiotics, there is a large network of nerves in the gut that influence immune system activity.
Therefore, an improper diet is not only associated with various digestive issues, but it can also reduce the immune system’s ability to function properly.
Defender supplies the body with powerful prebiotic bacteriophages and probiotics that boost nutrient absorption, promote the complete digestion of food that is consumed, target digestive problems, and enhance the body’s natural defenses safely and efficiently.
Each of these benefits is especially useful for First Responders who often have to eat and drink on the go.
In doing so, this scientifically-supported supplement does just what its name implies – it helps defend the body so that First Responders can continue to defend us!
