Do you have the guts.... to be healthy?(Paid Advertisement)(Advertisement)
If you'd like to answer "yes", but have lingering doubts about the benefits of consuming bacteria for optimal health, you're not alone. Many of us have been taught to fear bacteria. With persistent messages rumbling in our heads and a vast number of "antibacterial" products available, it's no wonder why "bacteria" has such a bad reputation.
Yes, it's true. Some bacteria can cause infections. But, fortunately for us, the human digestive tract also plays host to strains of powerfully protective and health-promoting bacteria.
Billions of these "friendly" little intestinal organisms reside naturally in the intestinal tract and help our immune systems function efficiently, keeping other types of bacteria in balance. When ingested in dietary or supplement form, these "friendly" bacteria are referred to as probiotics."
The Doctor's Choice
Chief among these probiotic purveyors of good health are bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM[R].
L. acidophilus NCFM:
* Is of human origin and the most extensively researched acidophilus, backed by multiple research studies showing its ability to support a healthy balance of intestinal bacteria.
