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.
