THE GOOD FLORA

LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS

AND BIFIDUS BLEND

PROVIDING 8 BILLION GOOD BACTERIA PER CAPSULE

GROWN IN AN ORGANIC MEDIUM AND NATURALLY STABILIZED

Acidophilus works by assisting in the digestion of proteins, a process in which lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes, natural antibiotic substances that inhibit pathogenic organisms, and B vitamins are produced.

According to the Colon Health Handbook, the healthy colon should contain at least 85% lactobacillus and 15% coliform bacteria. However, the typical colon bacteria count is the reverse, resulting in excessive gas, bloating, intestinal and systemic toxicity, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrient, which leads to an overgrowth of Candida.

Acidophilus may help to detoxify harmful substances. Factors that contribute to candidiasis are recurrent use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, aspirin, corticosteroids, poor diet, sugar, 9east, and stress. These all cause an imbalance of the "friendly" bacteria. The good flora bind with some of the unwanted substances, causing them to be excreted.

Acidophilus also has an antibacterial effect. The addition of Lactobacillus bifidus along with Acidophilus, aids synthesis of the B v)tamins by creating a healthy intestinal flora. L. bifidus is the predominant organism in the intestinal flora and establishes a healthy enviro.ment for the manufacture of the B-complex vitamins and Vitamin K.

When taking antibiotics, the friendly bacteria are destroyed along with the harmful bacteria. Supplementing with Lactobacilus Bifidus helps maintain a healthy intestinal flora. An unhealthy flora can lead to the liberation of large quantities of ammonia, which irritates the intestinal membranes. The ammonia can be absorbed i.to the bloodstream and cause nausea, a decrease in appetite, vomiting, and other toxic reactions.

Undigested food can stagnate or lead to constipation and gas. The putrefactive bacteria that is produced from undigested food may produce excessive histamine, causing an allergic reaction and additional toxic build-up and food allergies.

Yeast infections of the vaginal tract respond very favorably to Lactobacillus and Bifidophilus. The lactobacillus bifidus microorganisms destroy the pathogenic organisms. L. bifidus also helps establish a healthy intestinal environment. It improves bowel function by aiding peristalsis and results in the production of a softer, smoother stool. Harmful bacteria are kept in check, and waste toxins that have accumulated in the int%stines are destroyed.

This blend also helps in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver and chronic hepatitis. Many people who do not respond to L. Acidophilus react positively to L. bifidus. This is another reason to use a blend of both cultures. It is best to take on an empty stomach in morning and one hour before evening meal.
