High-Potency Probiotics and Vitamins to Help Support Your Immune System
The gut microbiome consists of the trillions of organisms found inside the human gastrointestinal tract. A healthy interaction between our immune system and the gut microbiota is crucial for the maintenance of our body’s homeostasis and health.

Shown to stimulate the immune system and to have antioxidant properties *(17)
lactis
May help the body maintain healthy respiratory function and supports healthy function of the immune system *(8)(9)
lactis
Possesses anti-inflammatory properties and helps to regulate auto-immunity *(10)
rhamnosus
Clinically shown to be beneficial for immunity and helps to protect from respiratory infection *(11)
plantarum
May promote function of the intestinal lining and secrete antimicrobial molecules to protect against disease-causing microbes *(12)
Hesperidin

"I have been using Sun Genomics for the last two months and I am so happy with it! It has helped not only my energy levels but has also assisted in my digestive health, prior skin problems and immune system. I am highly recommending it now to all my family, friends and old college teammates."
Brooke CoyleThe Gut-Lung Network
While the gut microbiome has long been tied to a person’s digestive wellness, new research suggests that a healthy gut may play an important role in respiratory wellness.
Gut microorganisms closely interact with the body's mucosal immune system – the defenses that help to defend the lungs and other organs from potentially harmful threats.* (2)(3)
The microorganisms in the gut have been shown to influence not only their local immune system, but also the immune system in other parts of the body.*(2)
Probiotics have been found to enhance the body's natural immunity, as well as regulate inflammation caused by pathogens.*(5)(6)
Probiotics communicate with both immune cells and with the intestine’s epithelial cells, which are responsible for filtering harmful substances.*(5)
Taking Your Floré Defense Probiotics
Keeping your body sustained with beneficial probiotics and vitamins with Floré Defense is easy! Just take one pill every morning with a glass of water and a healthy breakfast. Store your probiotics in the refrigerator.
Shipping Information
Our Floré probiotics are living micro-organisms designed to flourish in your digestive tract. When we ship them to you, they come in a cooler as well with a cold pack to keep them at an optimal temperature, so they’re comfortable.
We have run several rigorous testing to understand the survivability of the strains under different temperature levels. Most probiotic strains can endure temperatures up to 112 F for short periods of time and are perfectly happy at a body temperature of 98 F with the proper nutrient supply your body gives them. Prolonged exposure to non-refrigerated temperatures for 7 days or greater may reduce your product’s potency and efficacy.
So if your probiotics arrive slightly warm (especially during the warmer seasons), don’t panic; they’re still safe to digest. Just make sure you refrigerate them once you receive your package.
