Bifidus Balance + FOS
Bifido bacteria are special members of the probiotic family of friendly microorganisms. Because they are strict anaerobes, their primary habitat is the low oxygen environment of the lower intestines. Jarrow FORMULAS Bifidus Balance is encapsulated to protect the delicate bifido cultures as best as possible from oxygen.
Bifidobacteria are the primary intestinal residents of breast-fed babies. By the age bf one year, the human flora is relatively stable all the way through adulthood. The aminoglycan N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) is present in human milk (but absent from cow's milk) and is essential for bifido cell wall synthesis. Bifidobacteria constitute 92% of the intestinal microflora of breast-fed babies, but only 20% in bottle fed babies.
Of the some 100 billion bacteria colonies per gram of wet feces, bifidobacteria should normally comprise 10 billion, lactobacilli 100 million and streptococci one billion. In seniority, the bifidobacteria of the human intestine decline and the numbers of pathogens increase. Supplementing one to three capsules per day of bifidobacteria will maintain an appropriate level of bifidobacteria in your large intestine.
Children and seniors require primarily bifidobacteria supplementation. Teens and adults require more lactobacilli as found in Jarro-Dophilus. However, any probiotic may be taken at any age. Probiotics are for people of all ages!
