Multiple strain probiotic replenishmen Bifidobacterium Bifidum – One of the main inhabitants of the large intestine. Also found in the vagina and the lower part of the small intestine. The bacteria produce a number of specialized acids and use these to prevent colonization of the large intestine by invading bacteria, yeasts, and some viruses. Bifidobacterium Breve - Beneficial for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Bifidobacterium Infantis – This is the main inhabitant of every infant’s intestines and is found in small amounts in the vagina. Its functions are very much the same as the other bifidobacteria. Bifidobacterium Longum – Found in the large intestine. In breastfed infants and adolescents these, along with Bifidobacterium Bifidum, make up 99 percent of the entire flora of the bowel. There is strong evidence that the numbers and efficient working of these bacteria decline as a person ages and with any decline in our health status. Lactobacillus Acidophilus – This is the main inhabitant of the small intestine in humans and animals. It is also found in the mouth and vagina. Acidophilus manufactures lactase to digest milk sugar and produces lactic acid which suppresses undesirable bacteria and yeasts. Some strains produce natural antibiotics. Lactobacillus Brevis – Inhibits growth of certain pathogenic bacteria and may alleviate post antibiotic treatment syndromes. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus – Beneficial against intestinal infections and enhances the immune system through its production of antibiotics and lactic acid. Lactobacillus Casei – Coats the intestinal mucosa and protects against invasion and activities of pathogenic organisms, thus aiding and supporting the immune system; contributes to intestinal peristalsis and helps eliminate the harmful amines from amino acids metabolism. Lactobacillus Helveticus – Splits casein into certain tripeptides that have been shown to reduce blood pressure. Superior colonization ability. Lactobacillus Plantarum – It has at least six different pathways to degrade Arginine and all of those produce nitric oxide. Nitric oxide produced by enzyme activities provides beneficial effects to the GI system. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus – Inhibitory effect on bacterial and fungal vaginal infections from intestinal infection by sticking to the mucosal walls. Lactobacillus Salivarius – Has been shown to produce alpha-Galactosidase, which helps reduce flatulence. In addition, L. Salivarius is highly resistant to tetracycline and other types of antibiotic therapy thus reducing antibiotic induced diarrhea. Saccharomyces Boulardii – A species of yeast similar to brewer’s yeast that exerts a direct antagonistic effect against a number of pathological organisms including Candida albicans and C. pseudotropicalis. Streptococcus Thermophilus – Supports digestion of milk sugars and exerts an inhibitory effect on pathogenic bacteria.
