Bifidophilus Flora Force
How it Works
Bifidophilus Flora Force contains several billion friendly bacteria per capsule from four different strains:Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum. The formula also contains short- and long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) in its non-medicinal base. The normal, healthy human intestinal tract contains billions of micro-organisms, collectively called flora, that live in a delicate balance. They break down our food into easily absorbable nutrients and help maintain our overall health. But, factors such as stress, environmental conditions, poor diet or use of antibiotics can affect the natural balance of friendly microbes. Bifidophilus Flora Force provides billions of beneficial intestinal micro-organisms for a healthy balance of flora in the GI tract.
The story behind Bifidophilus Flora Force
While the discovery and naming of individual probiotic strains is fairly new, the concept of eating fermented food goes WAY back. By about 500 A.D., Koreans had found a new technique to preserve food for winter: burying jars of cabbage, cucumber or radishes mixed with strong spices. Known as kimchi, this fermented food is one of many that offers health benefits for the immune system. Fermented foods have grown in popularity. But for some of us, capsules are much easier to swallow than kimchi, sauerkraut and fermented drinks. Launched in 1993, Bifidophilus Flora Force instantly became a favorite. Finally, there was a probiotic blend to help replenish some of the most important friendly bacteria and repopulate the gut. Probiotics provide a host of health benefits. They can aid digestion, encourage elimination and promote nutrient absorption. Bifidophilus Flora Force helps restore the natural balance of good bacteria in the gut and supports immune health.
