Accuflora-Probiotic-Acidophilus
Probiotics help maintain digestive and immune system health and function. They are simple one-celled organisms that can, in great numbers, do great things. AccuFlora boasts five different types of live cells in each capsule. Each strain performs a different function within your digestive system.

Five strains
Lactobacillus salivarius is found naturally in both the small intestine and the mouth. It is useful in normalizing the flora found in the gut for sufferers of chronic bowel conditions. In one study presented in the American Journal of Gastroenterology (1998), L. salivarius was shown to produce large amounts of lactic acid whilst stopping the growth of the unwanted H. pylori bacteria.

L. salivarius appears to help digest protein and may assist in the breakdown of any incompletely digested proteins and their undesirable by-products left in the gut which can cause putrification.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus can easily colonize the lining of the vaginal tract and the intestines. It has a great tolerance for surviving through stomach acid and bile salts. It is thought to help remove foreign intestinal invaders by triggering an immune response in the body.

Streptococcus thermophilus has been shown to eliminate pathogens such as E. coli, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella and Salmonella. It also stimulates the creation if cytokine which help boost the immune system.

S. thermophilus is also thought to increase the nutritional value of various foods by making available some micronutrients. It has been shown that hospitalized children whose milk was supplemented with Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum displayed a reduction in episodes of diarrhea and rotavirus shedding.

Bifidbacterium bifidum are commonly found in human digestive systems. Some of them can prevent harmful bacteria such as Salmonella from growing. In their use as probiotics, they aid the functioning of the immune system, stimulate digestion and help with the absorption of nutrients and food ingredients. Bifidbacterium bifidum helps in produce much-needed B vitamins.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is naturally found in the small intestine and helps the body to digest milk proteins. It also supports the creation of natural antibiotics. L. acidophilus is the most well-known probiotic bacterium. It attaches itself to the walls of the intestine, as well as to the lining of the cervix, vagina and urethra. In doing so it prevents other harmful organisms from forming.

Delivery Method
Each capsule of AccuFlora Pro-Biotic Acidophilus is designed so that, as it passes through the stomach, the acid it encounters turns it into a gel. This gel protects the probiotics within it so that when it reaches the intestinal tract, all of the bacteria cells are alive. Once safely inside the intestine, the gel breaks up and gradually releases the health-giving bacteria through the lower gastrointestinal system.

Going Pro
The stresses of modern life, the inevitabilities of age, and nutritionally poor diets are all reasons for poor digestive health. Common and easily recognized symptoms include bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.

Take-away meals and rich foods can both cause undue tiredness and bloating. Many people find dairy products difficult to digest, with sometimes painful results. AccuFlora’s unique blend can improve your digestive abilities. In later life, hormonal changes can play havoc with your digestive system and result in stomach pain, yeast infections and problems with regularity. Regular doses of suitable probiotics such as AccuFlora can correct this. AccuFlora Pro-Biotic Acidophilus comes in long-lasting bottles of 480 and 240 Caplets.
