Lactobacillus Acidophilus are a very popular strain of probiotic. Probiotics are a bacteria that favourably alter the balance of intestinal microflora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, enhance immune function & increase our resistance to infection. Lactobacilli maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds
- such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide & acetic acid
- which increase intestine acidity & so inhibit the growth of many harmful bacteria. Probiotics also produce substances call Bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus have been used for many years for the treatment & prevention of many digestive problems, such as, yeast infections, including Candidiasis & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, diarrhoea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), & other bowel infections, Colitis, Crohn's disease & general infections. They have also been shown to improve the immune system function & reduce tooth decay.
We would recommend Lactobacillus Acidophilus to anyone, but especially those who have recently had a course of antibiotics, to help repopulate the intestine with good bacteria.
