BioCare Strawberry Acidophilus Plus - Fructooligosaccharide F.O.S. - 60g Powder
Strawberry Acidophilus Plus provides lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidum to maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps reduce the colonisation of unfriendly bacteria by spatial exclusion.
Probiotic bacteria favourably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection.
Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds, such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid; that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria.
Fructooligosaccharides (F.O.S.) when ingested, provide a specific food source for the growth of friendly intestinal bacteria.
Our digestive system is colonised by billions of bacteria and most of them are harmless. However, a favourable balance between the beneficial and the pathogenic bacteria must be kept to maintain a healthy system and its regular nature.
To help safeguard this balance, the use of capsules containing beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum is now an established practice.
