The human gastrointestinal tract contains a large and diverse population of microorganisms - over 400 different bacterial species, most of which are anaerobic, i.e., thriving in non- or low-oxygen environments. These flora increase in numbers and complexity along the length of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; the further down the stomach, the greater the number of bacteria. The composition of the intestinal microflora also varies from one individual to another depending on diet, age, medication (antibiotics), stress levels and physiological conditions. Some species or strains (subspecies) of friendly flora "implant," that is, adhere to the intestinal and vaginal mucosa, while others are transient. Transient flora may reproduce while moving through the large intestines, but do not colonize and soon pass out in the stool.  The natural balance maintained within the intestines can become disrupted. In such cases, consuming sufficient probiotic bacteria via fermented foods or dietary supplements is essential to encouraging intestinal health. Indeed, the term probiotics is defined as a live microbial supplement that beneficially affects the host by improving its microbial balance. In other words, probiotics like Jarro- Dophilus provide benefits by improving the health of the host by positively affecting the intestinal tract.
| Jarro-Dophilus is a superior probiotic formulation, providing billions of the two most important groups of probiotic bacteria, Lactabacilli and Bifidobacteria |
Jarro-Dophilus utilizes of species that benefit each other. Mixed strain formulas are more 'economical and more convenient than single- species products. Research, however, has found that supplying multiple groups of lactic acid bacteria together facilitates their replication.
Suggested consumption ranges from 1 to 3 capsules per day, taken 20-60 minutes after eating. The important issues are 1) that the probiotic bacteria are available to the entire GI tract, and 2) that the strains be selected from the dominant (abbr. as "L") and Bifidobacteria (abbr. as "B"). |
