Helps Support a Healthy Colon * 60 Capsules Source Naturals FREEZE-STABILIZED ACIDOPHILUS™ is an advanced probiotic product. Acidophilus supports colon health by altering the intestinal ecology to favor "friendly" flora. Acidophilus also manufactures some B-vitamins, especially folic acid. The acidophilus cells are specially protected before and after freeze-drying by a unique stabilizing process. KEY FEATURES -
Supports colon health. -
Acts like a natural antibiotic to inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic "bad" bacteria in your GI tract that contribute to bowel, vaginal, respiratory, and urinary tract infections. -
Inhibits parasitic infections. -
Produces a broad spectrum of B vitamins (folic acid, B5, niacin, biotin, B12 and B6). -
Aids in cholesterol normalization. -
Reduces traveler's diarrhea. -
Improves food digestion and absorption. Dairy products are better tolerated by those who have lactose intolerance, because acidophilus helps to break down lactose (milk sugar). -
Reduces risk of colon cancer. Nearly all of us have taken antibiotics at one time or another. But we almost never think about what those antibiotics do to our intestines. If you have an ear infection (for example), your MD might prescribe an antibiotic. Before the antibiotic gets to the infected ear, it is swallowed and has to pass through the GI tract before absorption into the bloodstream. In a healthy GI tract, there is a dynamic balance between all of the resident organisms, which include bacteria and yeasts. Many of these organisms cling to the walls of your gut, where they compete for "real estate". As the antibiotic passes through, it kills all bacteria, both the bad and the good. However, antibiotics do not kill yeasts, including the Candida yeast. A lot of gut wall "real estate" is freed up, because all of the bacteria are dead and gone. All that remains are the yeasts, which then wildly proliferate to occupy the free space. This is why so many people get yeast infections when they take antibiotics. Therefore, it is imperative that you take extra acidophilus while on antibiotic therapy, and for two weeks afterwards. When you take acidophilus during antibiotic therapy, take it as far away from the antibiotic as possible. Acidophilus is antagonistic to Candida and other yeasts. Acidophilus is also toxic to Gardenerella, a common cause of vaginal bacterial infection. A vaginal douche twice a day with a solution containing acidophilus is indicated if you have any kind of vaginal infection, especially a yeast infection. Even if you do not douche, just consuming acidophilus will help to some extent. Your physician will provide you with the specific protocol you need for a vaginal infection. Acidophilus is important for preventing or treating antibiotic-induced diarrhea. Acidophilus also helps to prevent diarrhea resulting from radiation therapy to the GI tract. Travel to foreign countries is often accompanied by diarrhea when you're exposed to different foods or an environment that contains pathogenic organisms. Acidophilus has been shown to reduce traveler's diarrhea. Acidophilus inhibits bacterial enzymes associated with the formation of cancer-causing compounds in the GI tract, thus reducing the risk of colon cancer. It also appears to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer. Suggested Use: 1 capsule with meals 3 times daily for 4 or 5 days, then once daily, or as recommended by your health care professional. Refrigerate after opening, and for storage in warm weather.
