Nature Made, Northridge, Calif., created a digestive probiotic that offers the advantage of comprehensive digestive support. Developed to provide a better solution versus most single-strained probiotics, Nature Made Advanced Dual Support targets both parts of the digestive tract, which helps support digestive flora balance with the added benefit of supporting regularity.*

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 60 to 70 million Americans suffer from digestive issues, which can result from digestive imbalance. Probiotics are known as "good" bacteria that naturally exist in the digestive system and help to restore digestive balance. Nature Made Advanced Dual Support contains 10 billion live cells of Lactobacillus plantarum 299V and 2 billion live cells of Bifidobacterium lactis SD-5674**, probiotics that withstand the harsh environment of the stomach to survive in the intestinal tract where they are needed. Nature Made Advanced Dual Support helps naturally build and support digestive balance, regularity and is gentle enough for everyday use.*

In addition to the Advanced Dual Support Probiotic, Nature Made also launched a suite of probiotic products designed to meet the specific daily health needs of consumers, and include Women's, Men's, Prenatal & Daily Balance.

"By expanding our probiotics line to target individual needs, we are able to offer a more customized approach to our consumers' digestive health," says Jamie Sakaguchi, brand manager for Nature Made. "We also know consumers are turning to probiotics to help with digestive balance, and our new Advanced Dual Support provides two, high-quality, scientifically-studied probiotics to provide comprehensive digestive coverage."
