Biotivia Bioceuticals, the leading developer and distributor of nutraceutical supplements and nutraceutical-enriched skin care treatments, today announced the launch of Florativia, the world’s first supplement combining both prebiotics and probiotics in one innovative Twist ‘n Shake bottle.

Florativia contains an extraordinary 16 billion friendly bacteria that, working together, create the optimal environment in digestive tract for inhibiting pathogens and other toxin inducing bacteria, supporting the body’s natural metabolic functions and restoring the balance of good bacteria often destroyed by antibiotics, alcohol and tobacco.

The revolutionary product is based on scientific findings that prebiotics provide the ideal environment in the intestines for probiotics to flourish and provide metabolic benefits. The two work hand in glove to produce beneficial health effects.

Traditionally, probiotics and prebiotics could not be offered in one product because their combination had a neutralizing effect on both agents, diminishing or eliminating their value entirely - until now. Florativia is the first US manufacturer to offer a unique new packaging technology which separates the prebiotics from the probiotics until the time of consumption. This process ensures quality and freshness, while maintaining the potency of both agents.

When properly administered, the combination of prebiotics and probiotics has been linked to the alleviation of chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome, as well as the prevention and treatment of certain forms of digestive issues, urogenital infections and atopic diseases.

“The traditional thinking as always been that probiotics and prebiotics could not be combined because they would cancel each other out,” explained Biotivia founder and CEO James Betz. “But we pride ourselves on not being satisfied with traditional ways of doing things and this is once again the proof of our innovative approach to health supplements. With Florativia, we are offering the most potent probiotic therapy available over the counter today, simply because we solved the problem that has stopped other firms from combining pre and probiotics in one stable daily use container. The implications of this are simply astounding.” You would not buy a car without wheels, why buy a probiotic without the critical prebiotics?

Florativia is the by-product of 20 months of intensive research and development with Biotivia’s specialist research partners in Italy. The product also contains essential vitamins and minerals, chamomile and green tea.”Our greatest commitment has always been to the health and wellbeing of our customers,” continued Betz. “And often, that means not taking “no” or “impossible” for an answer. Florativia is just the latest way we are demonstrating that ethos, and we look forward to new and existing customers benefiting from our continued progress in this area.”

Florativia, along with Biotivia’s extensive catalog of Resveratrol-based nutraceutical and skin care therapy products, are available at http://www.biotivia.com/florativia.html and through select retail outlets.
