Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is dominant specie of the lactobacilli family that are the natural inhabitants of small intestine flora. Lactobacillus acidophilus manufactures lactase to digest milk sugar.

It also produces a variety of enzymatic activities which have a direct impact on the immune system’s functions.

Bifidobacterium longum

Bifidobacteria are the main lactic bacteria specie of the large intestine, also called the colon. While in infants, they represent the largest portion of the entire intestinal flora, they have been shown to dramatically decrease as a person ages. It is important to compensate this natural shortfall with lactic bacteria supplementation in high doses. Bifidobacteria produce a number of specialized acids to prevent invading bacteria, yeasts and some viruses from colonizing in the large intestine. They also prevent potential toxicity from nitrites in food and manufacture B Vitamins.
