 Just arrived! - Nutribac

After a year of ground work, we finally have Nutribac available for sale. Nutribac is the only reptile-specific probiotic, or combination of healthy digestive organisms especially for reptiles and amphibians. We have used it with our reptiles for the last few years with excellent results. It helps digestion, recovery after antibiotic therapy, and clinical trials have shown that salmonella shedding reduces or ceases after long-term use. Salmonella is typically present in more than more than half captive reptiles. Although salmonella is a common commensual gut flora in reptiles, certain strains or salmonella can be dangerous to humans, especially children or individuals that are immune compromised. There is no suggestion that salmonella is a required gut flora in reptiles, it is simply something they pick up from prey they eat. Although reptile-specific probiotics have not been in use for a very long time, probiotics are safely used long-term in many other species, from people eating natural yoghurt after antibiotic therapy, to the farming industry using probiotics to help health and growth rates. You may read of the research by going to the US patent and looking up the following number and title: # 5,879,719 Process for control, elimination or inhibition of salmonellae in reptiles and/or amphibians. Learn more on the Nutribac website $18.50 per bottle, which will last a snake about 1 -2 years. http://www.mzrproducts.com/
