Scientists Have Discovered A Type Of
Bacteria That SPEEDS Or BLOCKS Your
Body’s Fat Burning Metabolism

Scientists Have Discovered A Type Of
Bacteria That SPEEDS Or BLOCKS Your
Body’s Fat Burning Metabolism

Did you know your body is made up of at least 50% bacteria?

This is especially true in your gut, where food is turned into fuel or fat…

You see, your metabolism relies on good bacteria to protect its digestive system -- so it can break down food, converting that food into micronutrients and energy...

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight and don't have the energy you used to have, then it’s more than likely because your body has been producing too much of a stress hormone called “cortisol” because you have too much bad bacteria and not enough GOOD bacteria in your body.

If you tip the scales in favour of the good guys (good bacteria) your body will stop producing high levels of cortisol and START producing fat-blasting hormones known as “leptin”.

GOOD bacteria is the answer to reversing your slow metabolism and feeling great again.

Your Insides May Be Crawling With Bad Bacteria -
How Did These Bugs Take Over Your Tummy?

If you can answer yes to one or more of the following, you likely have bad bacteria overgrowth slowing your metabolism:

  • If you’ve ever taken antibiotics — they kill the “good guys” and set the stage for bad bacteria to thrive…
  • If you’ve eaten toxins, like heavy metals — fish, dental fillings, and even exhaust can attract pathogens...
  • If you’ve eaten simple sugars from beverages or fruit — which feed yeast and bad bugs…
  • If you’ve eaten starchy carbs like bread and rice — which your body breaks down into sugar…
  • If you have chronic stress in your life — making your immune system an easy target for invaders
  • If you've ever consumed alcohol — which kills bacteria and is converted into sugar
  • If you’ve used household cleaning products — the chemicals we breathe at home kill our “good bacteria”

And that’s only the beginning…

Can you see how easily an overgrowth of toxic gut bacteria can start?

How You Can Use Good Bacteria To Battle
The Bad Bacteria And Win The Fight

As a former competitive bodybuilder, I used to put my mind, body and soul through hell to get ready for a bodybuilding show. I once dieted for 11 months straight. Eating rice cake, whey protein and potatoes (all the so-called healthy foods).

The results? I was in the best shape of my life! But the fact that I didn’t necessarily feel ‘healthy’ should have been my first warning sign of what was to come…

After that nightmare of preparation, I ended up gaining 42 lbs of fat and water in 11 weeks.

42 FREAKING POUNDS!

I was bloated, exhausted and ANYTHING I ate seemed to convert instantly to fat - even the healthy foods that had initially helped me look great.

I was in a state of despair. I felt helpless. Here I was, back in 2003, a nutritionist and fitness coach, and I couldn’t even help myself overcome my sluggish metabolism and all the excess fat I put on.

Enter, Dr. Michael O’Brien. I went to a special event for health professionals and he taught me the source of my problem -- the bacteria in my gut.

Since I discovered what he calls “the #1 nutrient for fat loss”, I was able to easily undo the damage, lose weight fast and stay in great shape without even THINKING of dieting.

It changed the quality of my life and I’ve made it my mission to share this gift with the world and that’s why I’m excited to introduce this to you so you can start your own journey.

The #1 “Nutrient” You Can Use For Easy
Fat Loss, Unlimited Energy, And Freedom To Eat
The Foods You Love Again - Guilt Free!

Recent literature has actually found that making changes that affect digestive health may have just as much influence on weight loss as your workouts.

A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that on average, subjects who supplemented with probiotics for the 12 week long trial lost up to an extra 4 pounds of weight.

The main reason for this is certain nutrients, like the one we are going to introduce shortly, devour sugar at record speeds.

This nutrient will also help you:

  • Shrink your belly due to less bloating
  • Experience better mood and happiness
  • Absorb the nutrients you’re eating
  • Improve mental clarity (no more brain fog)
  • Boost your immune system

Eating This One Nutrient Can Turn Back The Clock On Years Of Digestive Damage And Leave You Feeling Young And Vibrant Again

Life is just too short to spend in pain, misery, and feeling dissatisfied with your body.

It’s too short to be afraid of every food you eat worrying that you’ll gain fat or suffer from gas, bloating, feeling sluggish, or feelings of depression.

You want freedom. Freedom to live your life and enjoy all the pleasures in it.

And you know what?

You DESERVE IT!

I’m about to share with you the exact same proven steps I took to undo years of damage I did to my body from not understanding how to protect myself from all the harmful toxins contained in the foods I was eating.

This is not fluff. What I’m about to share with you is backed by science and real world proof.

So let’s get into it, right now.

Why Green Juices, Health Foods And
Nearly Every ‘Diet’ Trick You’ve Ever Tried Are
Useless If You’re Missing This 1 ‘Nutrient’

Before you put the cart before the horse, understand this:

If your digestion isn’t in check then, it won’t matter what workout or nutrition plan you use or which green juice you choose or even how much organic food you buy.

Eating healthy, drinking greens juices, or trying any new diet will NEVER give you the full benefits that they promise you.

You will only ever achieve 70-80% of the results you were hoping for.

Why?

Most people fail to realize that their digestion plays a BIG role in weight loss, metabolism, and overall mood and energy levels.

As you get older, your natural abilities to digest foods of any kind begin to decrease rapidly after the age of 30 so what happens is all your efforts to ‘be healthy’ are never fully realized because you’re not ABSORBING all possible nutrients from the foods or drinks you consume.

Because just like when you build a house, you can have the greatest building materials on Earth (nutrients)…

NOTHING HAPPENS UNLESS YOU HAVE WORKERS TO PUT THEM TOGETHER. (Sorry for the “screaming” I’m just passionate about this).

Some of the hardest workers in your body are in your belly -- Specifically I’m talking about the probiotics in your gut.

The RIGHT probiotic will do everything from:

  • Help synthesize B and K vitamins
  • Enhance digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Stop the growth of “bad bacteria” and other pathogens
  • Help metabolize other plant compounds/drugs
  • Produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and polyamines
  • Produce immune system boosters

If you’re a complete beginner and you start introducing this nutrient you will see a major change.

If you’re at an advanced level, you will also start to see noticeable changes again like never before.

Here are a few testimonials from people who finally learned the truth about this “nutrient”...

Lisa Ainsworth

I have to tell you I’m impressed with the decreased bloating and water retention after 4 days on the products.

Rusty Moore

Darn you both for getting me hooked! My stomach has never felt better. Honestly, I have tried all sorts of things in the past. I would typically think, “I guess they are working” but I didn’t feel anything. I had a much better experience with your product and could FEEL them working.

University Study Confirms: People Who Started
Taking Probiotics While Still Eating Their Regular Diet Lost TWICE As Much Weight

One study found that lean mice with more “good bacteria” could eat the same food as the obese mice, yet stay slim.

But inject those same lean mice with bad bacteria, and they’d quickly gain weight.

So what about humans?

In a study conducted at Laval University in Quebec, 125 obese men and women--broken into two groups--were put on a 3-month weight loss diet.

The first group only dieted, nothing else. But the second group received probiotics (good bacteria) daily.

After 3 months, the probiotic group -- consuming the same diet and same calories -- lost TWICE as much weight, on average!

Warning: You May Be Wasting Your Money On
Cheap Probiotics That Don’t Even Do
Anything For You (Big Scam Alert)

I’m sure you’ve heard of probiotics before. Maybe you’ve even tried them.

Did you really FEEL a difference?

Chances are you didn’t, but you felt good simply because you bought them and used them, am I right?

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

The problems are too many to count.

Many companies mix a bunch of strains together.

They never analyze if the strains compete with each other.

They throw a mish-mash of “maybes” in a bottle. Maybe it works… maybe it doesn’t… they don't know.

Many probiotic strains do not survive stomach acid...

Others compete and kill each other. Some have a short life-span…

Others compete and kill each other. Some have a short life-span…

And despite huge claims of BILLIONS per serving, Dr. Tod Cooperman of Consumer Labs stated the actual amount of probiotics detected in popular probiotics often do not match what companies claim.

Sometimes only 7% of the label claim of CFU, or live probiotic cultures, are ACTUALLY in the product.

That means if you paid 20 bucks for 60 probiotics capsules that contain 1 billion bacteria per cap, you really overpaid by 1200%.

Talk about not getting your money's worth!

It’s easy to get ripped off.

So before purchasing any probiotics read the next section carefully on my
3 ‘Golden Rules’ on how to pick the BEST probiotics:

So before purchasing any probiotics read the next section carefully on my
3 ‘Golden Rules’ on how to pick the BEST probiotics:

How to Avoid Getting Ripped Off:
The 3 Critical Factors You Need To Know
Before You Even Think Of Buying Probiotics

1. STAY AWAY FROM PROBIOTICS THAT REQUIRE REFRIGERATION.

Any probiotic that needs to be maintained in a refrigerator is a big risk because you have no control over the conditions of transit, or how long the product has been on the shelf.

The facts are, your body temperature is much higher than a refrigerated store shelf.

So if the product is unstable at cool temperatures, what’s going to happen when you ingest it?

2. STAY AWAY FROM NON-FREEZE DRIED CULTURES.

Freeze drying is the process of removing all the water out of a substance.

The best probiotics are freeze dried which keeps them “dormant” until they make contact with water again.

As soon as the probiotics get hydrated, they spring back to life.

Also, the best formulas use all natural ingredients for stabilizers such as rice bran.

Finally, they should use plant based capsules, instead of bovine gelatin caps.

3. STAY AWAY FROM STRAINS THAT CAN’T SURVIVE STOMACH ACIDS.

Probiotics can crumble and die because of the intense stomach acids. In order to ensure it will survive the journey through your digestive system and actually work, laboratory tests are often the best way to make sure that’s what will happen.

Most probiotics don't survive stomach acids and therefore are useless.

“Okay, But I’ve Tried Probiotics.
And I Eat Cultured Foods Like Yogurt.”

Yogurt typically has even bigger problems. It typically contains additives, sugar, hormones (from the milk) and strains that have no scientific correlation to weight loss.

The sugar or additives in yogurt feed the bad guys. And unless you’re getting RAW, organic certified yogurt -- all you’re getting is a well packaged lie because they PASTEURIZE the yogurt AFTER they put in the probiotics.

Pasteurization KILLS the probiotics. In fact, pasteurization was created in order to kill bacteria. So you end up with a big fat FAIL.

Pasteurization KILLS the probiotics. In fact, pasteurization was created in order to kill bacteria. So you end up with a big fat FAIL.

You end up feeling like you’ve been cheated.

You spend your hard earned money and you have nothing to show for it.

You don’t feel any better. You don’t look any better. AND, you’re still lost in the confusion.

So forget about yogurt, and ignore all the hype around probiotics that don’t work.

A great quote that has always stuck with me is:

“There’s nothing more expensive than a product that doesn’t work”

My clients are always SHOCKED when I tell them these facts but I feel I owe it to them to make sure they don’t just spend their money on something that doesn’t work.

Between 2000 and 2005, I Researched And
Tried Virtually Every Over-The-Counter
Probiotic On The Market…

Hi, Wade T. Lightheart here, Co-Founder of BiOptimizers, and I’m about to share with you some life-changing insights…

I spent the better part of 5 years of my life tirelessly searching for the best probiotic on the market and I ran into dead end after dead end.

I started losing hope.

“None of the probiotics on the market had what I wanted in them.”

I was nearly ready to give up but then, it hit me…

“Why don’t I just create the BEST probiotic?!”

I had the knowledge from being a Vegetarian 3x Natural Bodybuilding champion, nutritionist, and trainer, as well as having many dieticians, naturopaths and doctors already in my corner.

So I went to these trusted practitioners and I told them EXACTLY what I wanted!

They were hesitant at first because frankly, nobody attempted this before.

But, I pressed on. I was motivated to see this product come to life.

I’ll be honest, I was initially developing this product only for myself, close friends, and family.

After many years in development, refining ingredients, and performing real life tests, we finally cracked the code on what I believe is one of the most powerful protein-digesting probiotics on the market today.

And the best part?

“The probiotic we created ended up being even more potent than we expected.”

The initial users started to report benefits such as:

  • Increased mental clarity and focus
  • Decreased need for sleep and recovery (more energy)
  • Bloating and gas relief within days
  • Weight loss and added lean muscle (when combined with proper nutrition and training)

The Breakthrough Discovery:
The Single SUPER-STRAIN ‘Bacteria’ That Could Be
The Most Powerful Nutrient For A Faster Metabolism
And Ultimate Defense Against Viruses

After what seemed like a lifetime we were finally able to make a revolutionary discovery and developed a patented process to dramatically enhance L Plantarum’s abilities, resulting in a new SUPER-STRAIN that may be the most powerful proteolytic probiotic ever developed.

Our new strain can easily survive in the human digestive system...

Unlike other probiotics that crumble and die because of the intense stomach acids.

But that’s not the only ‘superpower’ P3-OM™ is known for…

Introducing A New All-In-One Solution
That Eliminates Belly Bloat, Solves Digestive
Issues, And Makes You Feel Like A New You

After years of development, extensive testing, patience and perseverance, BiOptimizers is proud to introduce to you our best-selling, patented proteolytic probiotic, P3-OM™.

P3-OM™ is a transient probiotic that eliminates bad bacteria fast, eats up excess sugar, and protects your gut from inflammation and viruses.

This means less time being or getting sick. This also means you can get away with eating foods you had probably given up because of the way they made you feel.

P3OM's strain breaks down protein
and eliminates bad bacteria

P3-OM™ is superior to other probiotics because it uses a patented process (patent #: 5,895,758) to dramatically enhance L. Plantarum’s abilities, resulting in a new super strain that may be the most powerful proteolytic probiotic ever developed.

This is a proven, patented strain that’s shown to eliminate bad bacteria and break down protein.

It very well may be the holy grail of weight loss, and reversing slow metabolism once and for all.

Inside of L Plantarum you’ll find beneficial bacteria that is often found in kimchi, sauerkraut, and cultured vegetables (which you would otherwise have to eat pounds of everyday to get the same benefits from just a few capsules of P3-OM™).

The strain inside of P3-OM™ is one of the few available that has been shown to have protein digesting abilities and many other amazing benefits.

  • Proteolytic activity (breaks down protein).
  • Anti-tumoral capability (Reduces tumor size).
  • Antiviral capabilities (Kicks virus’s asses).
  • Anti-retroviral activity as demonstrated against: the Rauscher virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the T-lymphotrophic virus.
  • The strain can easily survive in the human digestive system, unlike other probiotics that crumble and die because of the intense stomach acids.
  • Biologically pure culture of Lactobacillus Plantarum OM.
  • Vegetarian friendly plant-based capsules (not bovine gelatin caps), lactose free, and no refrigeration required.
  • New patented SUPER-STRAIN “good guy” bacteria to fight off the bad guys and help you win-the-war inside you.

How P3-OM™ Survives Your Stomach Acid And Works Its Magic Within Only A Few Days.

  1. Take 1-2 of our proprietary blend capsules with water before meals.

    Our P3-OM™ capsules are vegetarian friendly, lactose-free and do not contain any animal agents. Each capsule contains, 2,500,000,000 (2.5 Billion) CFU of Lactobacillus plantarum (the powerful single super-strain we mentioned)

  2. The P3-OM™ “Good Guys” go to work for you and battle the “Bad Guys”.

    Our probiotics are unique because of the way our patented super-strain bacteria MULTIPLIES while working through your system. P3-OM™ survives your stomach acid and leaves your body within only a few days.

  3. You should FEEL a difference within 3-4 days of taking them regularly.

    Typically it takes a few days for people to feel a noticeable difference in their digestion.

But after 3-4 days you’ll start to notice you have more energy, less bloating, more mental clarity, your immune system will have reached a whole new level of strength, and your metabolism will make sure you're in fat burning mode.

Here's The Surprising Truth About “Probiotic Count”

I'm sure you've looked at some probiotic bottles and you've seen "5 billion" or "10 billion" or maybe even more. What really matters is how fast they multiply.

P3-OM™ doubles every 20 minutes once it makes contact with food in your stomach. It continues to multiply, gets rid of the bad guys, and then it's out of your system in 3 days.

This SHOCKING Video Demonstrates The Real Life Digestive Benefits Of Using P3-OM™ Probiotics

Check out this amazing time lapse video that shows P3-OM™ and MassZymes in action: (the liquid in the glass is a solution mixture very similar to the acid in your stomach)

This product is freaking fantastic and our customers love it!

I use them and I recommend them because I’m a big believer in better living through science.

Katrine Volynsky

Nutritionist & Founder of the Institute of Advanced Natural Health Sciences

I have been using BiOptimizers products for over a decade now. They have been part of my own personal recovery journey from my Chernobyl radiation poisoning. I’ve been using it in my practice with my clients. And I can honestly say these products are magic and can really help you with your digestive issues and other health problems you might be experiencing. With better digestion of nutrients, and assimilation, and helping clear out some of the byproducts of metabolic processes and infections, they can really help you step up your health game to the next level. I highly recommend that you try them.

Ty Bollinger

Founder, The Truth About Cancer

I would never endorse a product I didn't use myself. That seems dishonest to me. With that being said, I take the MassZymes / P3-OM™ "combo" every day and wholeheartedly recommend both products. I've not seen a more potent proteolytic enzyme/probiotic combination. This is definitely one of the missing pieces in the puzzle of overall health and wellness.

Stefan James

Serial Entrepreneur, Bodybuilder, Founder Of Project Life Mastery

I'm all about optimizing my health -- it's important to me because of my goals in the gym and with business. Taking P3-OM™ just makes sense -- it's got the highest protein digesting activity of anything out there, and proteins are used for everything -- from DNA activity to packing on muscle and boosting my metabolism.

Karine Losier

Devoted Mother, Entrepreneur

I love using P3-OM™ everyday. It helps keep bloating away. It helps keep my tummy flat. And it’s helped me with my digestive problems. My husband and I love it.

Dave Ruel

Devoted Father, Author, Serial Entrepreneur

I take P3-OM™ everyday. 8 with meals, and 4 with snacks. My digestion has never been better and I've never had this much energy throughout the day
