Acidophilus and Bifidum
While we tend to think of most bacteria as illness-causing microbes that must be eliminated at any cost, there are some friendly bacteria that are desirable in the digestive tract. Two examples of these beneficial bacteria are Acidophilus and bifidum which can aid digestion. In addition to helping us absorb food and minerals, they also aid in the manufacture of B vitamins and amino acids, and produce lactase and other antibacterial substances
When the digestive tract is healthy, the growth of good bacteria helps to crowd out disease-causing bacteria and make conditions unfavorable for their growth. A poor diet, illnesses and prescription medicines can diminsh the healthy bacteria in the digestive tract.
Acidophilus and bifidum help to maintain the proper balance of these healthy bacteria that keep your body feeling good. They also help the body:
- keep the intestines clean

- eliminate excessive body odor
