ISOThrive supplement developed in Prince William backed by Stanford Gastroenterologist

ISOThirve received a key endorsement today.

Dr. John Selling, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology at Stanford Medical School, endorsed the company’s prebiotic nectar, which is designed to improve balance and regularity, aid digestion, and improve the health of the human immune system.

The nectar is a fiber supplement that is a light, sweet syrup that is usually taken in doses of about a quarter teaspoon. It’s been on the market for about six months and is developing following thanks to a new subscription sales program launched by the company.

The supplement replaces fiber that is lost during the preservative food process. “You would have to eat a lot of preserved foods like sauerkraut to get the same fiber you get with a little ISOThrive,” said ISOThrive spokesman Jack Oswald.

ISOThrive ais a prebiotic, not a probiotic, that feeds bacteria in the gut. Without it, the bacteria in the gut can begin to eat the lining of the upper lower digestive tract and causing proteins to the leak from the gut into the blood stream.

More from a press release: 

Dr. Selling said: “Probiotic supplements have been all the rage, yet there is little evidence they provide real health benefits. That is why prebiotics are now poised to replace probiotics as an effective gut health supplement. Our first prebiotic was in our mother’s milk; we were born with the need for them. However, because our diets have changed dramatically in the last 150 years, it is not easy to consume a diet that supports our intestinal flora, yet we need to support our good bacterial growth throughout life. ISOThrive helps meet this need. The science is clear on this. It is more important to support the existing intestinal bacteria so they can provide the nutrients the gut needs to keep it healthy, promoting overall health.”

All of the scientific research for ISOThrive took place at the Science Accelerator at Prince William County’s Innovation Park. It was there that scientists examined what on organisms inside the digestive tract were being fed by ISOThrive, as well as research into what health improvements users of the product would experience while taking the supplement.

ISOThirve is based in California and operates a lab at the Science Accelerator, which boasts over 1,100 square feet of wet lab space in a Class-A office space.
