Harrington Chiropractic, PC and Laser Therapy Center First in Iowa With Theralac
Harrington Chiropractic, PC and Laser Therapy Center has achieved another first: First in Iowa with Theralac probiotics, the only product with an acid-proof capsule. Theralac's high-potency probiotics are not harmed by the stomach acid and are delivered to the small and large intestine, where they are needed most. Dr. Phil Harrington is also the first health care provider in the State of Iowa to offer Class IV Therapeutic Laser technology.
Brooklyn, Iowa (PRWEB) February 15, 2007 --
Harrington Chiropractic, PC and Laser Therapy Center has again achieved 'First in the State of Iowa' status. Clinic Director Dr. Phil Harrington announced Wednesday that his practice is the exclusive Iowa outlet for Theralac® probiotics and Enzalase® enzyme supplements, products of Therabiotics, Inc.
Therabiotics is a Minnesota corporation founded in 2002 by renowned biochemist Randolph S. Porubcan. The corporation's mission is to research naturally occurring, symbiotic, probiotic micro-organisms and bioactive prebiotics and to develop high potency nutraceutical products based on this research. Theralac®, with two patents pending, is the first product to be introduced by Therabiotics, Inc.
Theralac's® patent pending process involves blending the probiotic bacteria with sodium alginate (from seaweed) and grape skin extract (antioxidant/buffer) and is distinctly different and safer than enteric coated formulations that utilize derivatives of acrylic acid (a synthetic chemical). All components in Theralac® are natural, food grade, and easily digestible.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that are able to colonize the intestinal tract and help promote healthy structure and function; Lactobacillus acidophilus is an example of a well known probiotic. Acid proof probiotics survive exposure to stomach acid and arrive in the small intestine at full strength. Studies show that greater 99% of unprotected probiotics are killed when exposed to stomach acid (pH 1.6) for one hour, a typical time spent in the stomach.
Because many probiotic products are destroyed in the stomach, the therapeutic dose can be significantly less than advertised. Unprotected probiotics are very ineffective in the intestinal tract, whereas Theralac's® acid-proof coating ensures delivery of beneficial bacteria to the small intestine.
Theralac® capsules contain 5 billion colony forming units (CFU) of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA-1 strain), a well documented, bile tolerant strain with a long history of use in human dietary supplements. This makes Theralac® five times stronger in "Acidophilus" than most probiotic products.
Additionally, Theralac® contains 15 billion CFU of four symbiotic probiotics that go beyond the capability of Acidophilus. These are select strains of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium species that are backed by over 110 scientific studies, and only Theralac® contains this blend of research-proven probiotic strains.
"I am very pleased and excited about this new product", said Dr. Harrington. "We strive to offer the best and newest technologies to help our patients." Harrington also gained renown as the first health care provider in the state of Iowa to offer Class IV therapeutic laser technology.
Class IV therapeutic lasers offer significant relief to patients suffering from chronic pain, soft tissue and sports injuries, post-surgical pain and many other conditions. Harrington is one of the first in the country to use the K-Laser, an advanced Class IV laser being used by chiropractors, athletic trainers, osteopaths and others.
"Dr. Harrington has a track record of being on the cutting edge. He is willing to stick his neck out for his patients, we are pleased to have him on board", said Mr. Porubcan of Therabiotics, Inc.
