Lactobacillus acidophilus
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 Cholesterol levels
