What is the Explanation for Pro-Biotics (Acidophilus)?
Pro-Biotics – Dosage 2-8 capsules/day depending on strength Probiotics are living “friendly” intestinal bacteria, sometimes mixed with FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), which promote their growth in the gut. Supplementation with probiotics can help restore, or maintain the balance in favour of the healthy intestinal bacteria. They are needed when there is imbalance (or dysbiosis) in the digestive system, and help keep the potentially harmful micro-organisms (like candida) balanced with friendly micro-organisms. This benefit, along with helping eliminate accumulated nasties in the gut, and restoring health to the gut lining, leads to improved absorption of food and an improvement in immune function.
