Acidophilus & Bifidus Blend
Lactobacillus Acidophilus The Good Flora
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% Coli form bacteria. However, the typical colon bacteria count is the reverse, resulting in excessive gas, bloating, intestinal and systemic toxicity, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrients, which leads to an overgrowth of Candida and yeast infections in the vaginal tract. Acidophilus helps to detoxify harmful substances. Factors that contribute to Candida are recurrent use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, aspirin, corticosteroids, poor diet, sugar, yeast, and stress. These all cause an imbalance of the "friendly" bacteria. The good flora binds with some of the unwanted substances, causing them to be excreted. Acidophilus also has an antibacterial effect. When taking antibiotics, the friendly bacteria are destroyed along with the harmful bacteria. Supplementing with Lactobacillus Acidophilus 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 into 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 are produced from undigested food may produce excessive histamine, causing an allergic reaction and additional toxic build-up and food allergies.
Acidophilus is also available in a 3 oz. bulk 8 billion count per tsp.
