Research on Probiotics

The healthy human digestive tract contains over 500 different kinds (or strains) of beneficial bacteria. However, many factors in daily life kill off friendly bacteria. • Stress • Chlorinated water • Caffeine • Alcohol • Sugary or processed foods • Antibiotics • Antacids • Over-the-counter and prescription medications Once the good bacteria are destroyed, it may take up to three months for them to regenerate, and in some people they never seem to re-establish completely.* This can be a dangerous time because bad bacteria and other harmful elements may grow out of control without the good bacteria to keep them in check.* When this happens, a variety of undesirable symptoms and health problems can occur, such as improper digestion and nutrient absorption, gastrointestinal imbalances, as well as many other conditions.* |
