Do you have the guts…. to be healthy? - Paid Advertisement - Advertisement

If you'd like to answer "yes", but have lingering doubts about the benefits of consuming bacteria for optimal health, you're not alone. Many of us have been taught to fear bacteria. With persistent messages rumbling in our heads and a vast number of "antibacterial" products available, it's no wonder why "bacteria" has such a bad reputation.

Yes, it's true. Some bacteria can cause infections. But, fortunately for us, the human digestive tract also plays host to strains of powerfully protective and health-promoting bacteria.

Billions of these "friendly" little intestinal organisms reside naturally in the intestinal tract and help our immune systems function efficiently, keeping other types of bacteria in balance. When ingested in dietary or supplement form, these "friendly" bacteria are referred to as probiotics."

The Doctor's Choice

Chief among these probiotic purveyors of good health are bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM[R].

L. acidophilus NCFM:

* Is of human origin and the most extensively researched acidophilus, backed by multiple research studies showing its ability to support a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria.

* Has been demonstrated as safe and effective in animal and human testing and has been used commercially for more than 25 years.

Bifodobacteria:

* Works together with L. acidophilus NCFM to promote optimal intestinal health.

* Is one of the most abundant and important bacteria in humans as established by numerous research studies.

Both these dynamic bacteria have been proven to be acid and bile resistant, and therefore capable of surviving travel through the upper digestive system to reach the intestines. Once inside the intestinal tract, they work to maintain a strong barrier, which helps prevent undesirable compounds from entering the bloodstream. They also create beneficial acids, which promote a healthy intestinal pH and overall intestinal health. Moreover, both bacteria are of human origin, making them safe and appropriate for human use."
