Lactobacillus Acidophilis
L. acidophilus is generally found in the small intestine. It is responsible for producing natural antibiotics known as acidophilin and lactocidin. These are useful in improving our body’s immune response against damaging fungi and bacteria. L. acidophilus also prevents harmful bacteria from establishing themselves by making a colony that covers the intestinal walls.

L. acidophilus decreases the possibility of the onset of diarrhea and other diseases and infections. It is also able to stop the production of some forms of cancer. While yoghurt is indeed a source of L. acidophilus, most of the bacteria from this source are killed off by bile and stomach acid before they can get to the intestines.

The patented Probiotic Pearls capsule make sure that live cultures aren’t damaged by harmful stomach acids and can safely arrive at the intestines to begin their health-giving work. The encapsulation technique used in Probiotic Pearls ensures that the product is perfectly preserved at room temperature for up to a year and a half. Many rival products are unstable - even at room temperature - and the cultures are not able to live for more than a year,

Bifidobacterium Longum
Bifidobacteria are common to the human digestive systems. Breastfed babies begin colonizing bifidobacteria almost right away. As we age, these colonies begin to die unless they are restocked via supplements. The health of bifidobacteria colonies depend on diet, stress and whether antibiotics are being taken.

The B. longum strain is highly represented in the large intestine. It is useful in stopping the establishment of harmful bacteria and yeasts by colonizing the wall of the intestine. It is partially responsible for producing acetic and lactic acids. These lower the pH of the intestine and add a further barrier to the establishment of unwanted bacteria.

Research has shown that B. longum can reduce the number of incidents of gastrointestinal disorders such diarrhea. It can also help increase the nutritional value of some foods, as well as possessing the ability to manufacture essential digestive enzymes and B vitamins. B. longum can improve calcium absorption and also reduce the appearance of colonic tumors.
