What are Probiotics?

It's only been within the past decade that scientists have begun to truly understand the tremendous health benefits of probiotic foods and supplements.
The human digestive tract has always been home to "good" bacteria, which help to maintain intestinal health by allowing the absorption of nutrients and keeping foreign bacteria and viruses under control.

• Weaken antibiotic resistant bacterial strains and 'supergerms' and infections in people who have a compromised immune system.
• Manufacture B vitamins (biotin, B3, B5, B6, folic acid and B12) and vitamin K.
• Inhibit the bacteria that convert nitrates into nitrites and secrete carcinogens - therefore they act as anti-cancer agents (especially in the bowel and bladder).
• Act as a natural antibiotic against 'bad' bacteria and viruses and yeasts such as candida albicans.
• Improve bowel function and elimination.
• Improve diarrhea conditions in irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, AIDs and in travellers.
