Lactobacillus
acidophilus is a naturally occurring beneficial bacteria,
which supports the health of the intestinal tract.It maintains
a healthy microflora by protecting the body against an overgrowth
of harmful bacteria and fungi as Candida albicans,Salmonella,
E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus.It is most commonly used
probiotic of great versality and is the most friendly bacteria
in the upper intestinal tract.
Lactobacillus acidophilus implants itself on the intestinal
walls,as well as on the lining of the vagina , Cervix, and
Urethra, thereby preventing other organisms from multiplying
to the extent that they can cause infections.

The
breakdown of food by L.acidophilus leads to production of
lactic acid,hydrogen peroxide, and other byproducts that make
the environments hostile for undesired organisms. L.acidophilus
also produces lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar(lactose)
into simple sugars.People who are lactose intolerant do not
produce this enzyme. For this reason, L.acidophilus supplements
may be beneficial for these individuals.

Lactobacillus
acidophilus helps control intestinal infections, thus reducing
the potential of diarrhea and other infections or diseases.It
also inhibits some types of cancer and helps control serum
Cholestrol levels |
