Bio-Dophilus, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a highly concentrated combination of probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus casei subsp. Rhamnosus, which provides a minimum of 10 billion viable microorganisms per gram. Each 280 mg capsule contains 2.8 billion viable microorganisms. Unlike many other probiotic dietary supplements provided in powder form or gelatin caps, Bio-Dophilus is enteric coated with inert cellulose. This prevents dissolution in the stomach, protects the microorganisms from the damaging effects of stomach acid, and ensures effective release in the intestine where the probiotics are able to survive and colonize.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for health, especially digestive system. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes health problems. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.
Oral supplements of live, beneficial intestinal micro-organisms for nutritional health and well-being are known as probiotics. Probiotic dietary lactobacilli colonize the intestinal tract, depending on the specific bacterium-to-host affinity. Bacteria are continually in competition for colonization space. The original bacterial colonies have an advantage over transient bacteria; however, the composition of the intestinal microflora is dynamic and constantly changing.
If harmful microorganisms proliferate, the equilibrium is disturbed, and it becomes difficult even for indigenous bacteria to maintain their necessary territory to colonize the intestine.
When potent, enteric-coated probiotic supplements, such as Bio-Dophilus, are supplied regularly, chances are greatly increased for establishing a healthy population of beneficial intestinal microorganisms. Once established, a normal intestinal microflora rich in lactobacilli creates acidic conditions that are unfavorable for the settlement of pathogenic microorganisms.
Bio-Dophilus by Douglas Labs is a great source of supplementing probiotics for healthy digestive system. Each 280 mg capsule contains 2.8 billion live microorganisms shown to promote intestinal health and functioning.
