Viridian Tri-Blend Acidophilus Complex with F.O.S. - 30 Vegicaps
from Viridian
Helps maintain the balance in the gut of the beneficial bacteria and therefore helps maintain a healthy digestive system.
It has been estimated that over 400 species of bacteria inhabit our digestive tracts with different species being found in various locations e.g. the stomach, jejunum, duodenum etc. A balance of the appropriate flora is critical to ensuring not only a healthy intestinal tract, but also for long-term health through protection against pathogenic organisms and supporting gastro-intestinal health. The most important friendly bacteria are lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum both belonging to the bacilli species. The symbiotic partnership between humankind and lactobacilli has a long history of important nutritional and therapeutic benefits for humans.
Acidophilus provides lactobacillus acidophilus to maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora. Fructooligosaccharides (F.O.S.) when ingested, provide a specific food source for the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria. F.O.S. encourages peristaltic motion, exerting a positive influence on bowel activity and evacuation. It is water dispersible and acts as a bulking agent in the bowel. F.O.S. can be used as nutritional support in yeast free diets. Fructooligosaccharides may help maintain normal triglyceride levels and it does not elevate blood sugar.
