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 become disrupted by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, or poor dietary intake. Probiotics have been extensively studied and are characterized as having broad GI and immune benefits, including (1) increasing the population of healthy bacteria following microflora imbalance; (2) supporting healthy bowel function; (3) increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids, which provide energy to the cells of the intestinal lining; (4) strengthening the gut-immune barrier by promoting a healthy gut mucosa; (5) aiding in the digestion of difficult-to-breakdown compounds like lactose and casein; and (6) enhancing detoxification of harmful compounds. Because 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. The microorganisms in Probiotic 225 are protected, sealed, and freeze dried away from moisture, heat, light and oxygen. This allows the bacteria to remain dormant until they are exposed to moisture in the GI tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 1 packet into 8 oz of a cold beverage of your choice or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(La-14)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLactobacillus acidophilus\u003c\/i\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\u003ci\u003eL. acidophilus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eferments various carbohydrates to produce lactic acid, which increases the absorption and bioavailability of minerals, including calcium, copper, magnesium and manganese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLactobacillus plantarum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Lp-115)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLactobacillus plantarum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis beneficial bacteria commonly found in fermented foods including sauerkraut, pickles, brined olives and sourdough.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eL. plantarum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas been found to compete against strains of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eClostridium difficile\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eClostridium perfringens\u003c\/i\u003e, due to the production of bacteriocins (lethal proteins) that inhibit bacterial growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBifidobacterium lactis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(BI-04)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBifidobacterium lactis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis predominantly found in the colon.
