ProTack™ - the ultimate supplement for intestinal health and overall well-being!

Your digestive system contains over 100 different strains of bacteria. The balance of good bacteria within your digestive system is crucial not only to your digestive health and nutrient absorption, but also many other facets of your health.

Instead of supplementing you with external bacteria, ProTack™ ‘s special blend of Prebiotics acts as a fertilizer to stimulate the growth of the friendly bacteria indigenous in our gut to grow, which includes many different strains of healthy bacteria, including those which cannot be found in live bacteria supplements.
