A proliferation of harmful bacteria in the gut can rob your body of the essential nutrients it needs by consuming those nutrients that your body would normally absorb. Probiotics are the friendly bacteria that help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digestion and nutrient absorption. ProFerment is a unique blend of acidophilus (DE111) and a prebiotic PreforPro. In clinical studies, DE111 has been shown to drive out unwanted bacterial pathogens. ProFerment contains PreforPro which has been shown in more than 20 clinical studies to accelerate the growth by at least 10 fold of many types of probiotic species.

Studies also showed that ProFerment significantly decrease in both Total and LDL cholesterol in the body. All disease derives from our diet and are first born in the digestive tract.
The probiotic benefits of DE-111 Bacillus subtilis for digestive and immune health include:
- Crowds out bacterial pathogens and maintains healthy gut flora
- Supports the normal immune reaction of intestinal cells
- Communicates with intestinal cells to maintain the gut barrier’s function
- Can persist in the GI tract, increase its numbers and then re-sporulate.
In in vitro tests under physiological conditions, PreforPro has been shown to accelerate the growth of a broad spectrum of probiotic species, including:
- B. bifidum
- B. breve
- B. animalis
- B. longum
- L. acidophilus
- L. paracasei
- L. casei
- L. rhamnosus
- Lc. lactis
- B. subtilis
Functions in Both Small and Large Intestine

B. subtilis growth after 5 hours under physiological conditions, competing with E. coli
In-vivo growth of beneficial bacteria, B. longum, when competing with undesirable bacteria, E. coli, in different sections of the gastrointestinal tract of mice that were administered PreforPro in ProFerment.

Robert Jr. founded Spartan Enterprises, Inc. in 1993. He is a Certified Water Technician with the State of Michigan. He is also a Type II Public Water Supply Specialist and has the certifications of S-5 and D-5. The McCauley family has a long history in the water industry. Bob's father pioneered environmental issues regarding ground water and drinking water quality. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1953 for his thesis on removing radioactive strontium from water. He earned his doctorate in Environmental Engineering in less than 2 years, one of the shortest doctoral studies in the history of MIT. He taught civil, sanitary and environmental engineering at Michigan State University for 18 years before retiring to run Wolverine Engineers & Surveyors of Mason, Michigan, for 17 years. His reputation throughout Michigan as a water quality expert was legendary. Bob worked for his father's company for 12 years learning the water business, which dealt primarily with municipalities, including water quality and sanitary sewer issues.
After apprenticing with his father, Bob moved on to the bottled water business. He established greater Michigan's biggest selling bottled water: Michigan Mineral – Premium Natural Water. He was introduced to Ionized Water in 1995 and has done more to promote Ionized Water than anyone else in the industry.
