When there is a healthy balance (eubiosis), few symptoms exist. However, dysbiosis can occur when an overabundance of potentially harmful organisms prevail. The natural microflora balance can be upset by medications, excessive alcohol consumption or poor dietary intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause probiotics are live organisms, there are many challenges associated with manufacturing and distributing probiotic supplements. For a probiotic to be effective, it must be shelf-stable through the expiration date and precisely delivered to the intestinal tract, where it can have maximum benefit. BioShield\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etechnology is an innovative manufacturing process developed to ensure consistent and reliable results.

This allows the bacteria to remain dormant until they are exposed to moisture in the GI tract. By utilizing advanced encapsulation technology, the probiotic organisms are preserved and released on-target for maximum benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing beyond the threshold of traditional probiotic support, high-dose probiotics influence gut health and immunity in ways lower-dose probiotics cannot. Shown to activate over 1,700 genes involved in immune and inflammatory signaling, high-dose probiotics improve immune function, maintain a healthy gut-immune barrier, and maintain normal inflammatory balance. Each Ortho Biotic\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e 100 capsule provides six proven probiotic strains chosen for their ability to survive the harsh GI environment to deliver superior results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(La-14)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a beneficial bacteria strain that is normally found in the intestinal tract and mouth and is commercially used in dairy products for the production of acidophilus-type yogurt.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eL. acidophilus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eferments various carbohydrates to produce lactic acid, which increases the absorption and bioavailability of minerals.
