Product Description

What are Probiotics?

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that colonize the intestines.** Also known as beneficial bacteria or friendly flora, various strains of probiotics play a critical role in our well-being, promoting a range of important health benefits.** There are 400 different probiotic strains that inhabit the digestive tract. Lactobacillus acidophilus is the most prominent strain that’s taken in probiotic supplements form. Bifidobacterium is popular as well, though not as widely consumed as lactobacillus acidophilus.

Probiotics (which means “for life”) neutralize harmful bacteria and microbes throughout the digestive tract.** Without probiotics like lactobacillus acidophilus, harmful bacteria would reproduce unchecked, leading to an unbalanced internal environment that may be more vulnerable.** By neutralizing harmful bacteria and catabolic enzymes, lactobacillus acidophilus promotes digestive comfort.** It also supports robust immune system performance.**

Acidophilus probiotic plays a role in the gastrointestinal tract’s motor function as well, helping the intestines to move food along while supporting a healthy mucosal lining.** Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics help catalyze the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, too, enabling probiotic supplements to help enhance digestion and synthesis of other nutrients, ultimately supporting overall nutritional status.**

Probiotic Supplements

Perhaps most notable benefits of probiotic supplements are for digestive health and comfort.** Probiotics supplements also promote easy regularity as well.**

Probiotic levels may decline with the use of antibiotics and some immunosuppressive therapies. Introduction of live probiotics via supplementation (or via probiotic yogurt or other probiotic foods) is intended to promote re-colonization of the intestinal tract, supporting a balanced intestinal environment.** By stabilizing the intestinal environment, the best probiotic strains promote far-reaching probiotics benefits for digestion, immunity and overall well-being.** Prebiotics are substances that encourage probiotics to thrive, and may also be taken in supplement form.**

Probiotic Directions for Use

Probiotic supplements are usually taken in servings that deliver 1 to 2 billion viable lactobacillus acidophilus cells (also known as good bacteria CFUs, or colony forming units) daily. Lactobacillus probiotics for children are safe and effective, but should not be given to children under the age of 3 without a doctor’s permission. For children, dosage can be up to 1 billion lactobacillus acidophilus CFUs daily. Always consult with your health care provider before taking lactobacillus acidophilus probiotics or starting any probiotic, lactobacillus acidophilus, or other nutritional supplement regimen.

Did you know there is such a thing as “good” bacteria?

Probiotics are just that!

Your digestive system’s best friend, probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that colonize your intestines and play a critical role in your overall health.** Probiotics—the name of which means “for life”—work to help neutralize harmful bacteria that would otherwise reproduce unchecked throughout your digestive system and could cause occasional constipation, gas and bloating, among other issues.**

At their most basic level, probiotics are the great equalizers: working to help your internal environment be well-balanced and work correctly!**

By supplementing these friendly flora, you are aiding your body in the fight against these bad bacteria in your digestive system.** There are over 400 strains of probiotics, the two most prevalent in supplementation being Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium. Acidophilus is the show-runner for probiotics, playing an especially important role and wearing many hats in support of the digestive system!

So just what can Acidophilus do for you?

These good bacteria help to promote regularity, digestive wellness and comfort, optimize nutrient absorption throughout your gastrointestinal tract and support the overall function and health of your intestines.** They help to move food along through the intestines by supporting a healthy mucosal lining all while kicking the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates into high gear.**

And that’s not all!

In addition to supporting overall digestive health, comfort and efficiency, which helps to promote peak nutritional status, probiotics are also powerful supporters of the immune system.**

It is important to note that certain medications, including antibiotics, can decrease the levels of these friendly flora, so probiotic supplementation is especially important during this time. In addition to supplements, you can also find probiotics naturally in yogurt, cheese, miso and fermented foods.
