The digestive tract is home to more than 100,000 billion bacteria, both beneficial and harmful varieties. Usually the body is able to maintain a healthy balance between the two but sometimes the balance tips in favor of the harmful bacteria. This may be due to antibiotics, stress or other environmental situations. When beneficial bacteria are depleted a variety of conditions may result including constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, and vaginal yeast infections. A quality probiotic like Acidophilus by Vitabase can help restore the desired levels of beneficial bacteria.

Probiotics are supplements containing viable, live bacteria and are taken orally. Vitabase Acidophilus is comprised of two strains of bacteria, Lactobacilli acidophilus and Lactobacilli bulgaricus. These bacteria can help support a healthy digestive system. Both aid in digestion. They also help digest milk and may provide benefit to individuals who experience lactose intolerance.

In addition to aiding in the breakdown of food, research has identified additional benefits from a probiotic supplement. Acidophilus helps the body metabolize and use nutrients like vitamins and enzymes. Probiotics help restore normal gastrointestinal functions reducing the occurrence of diarrhea. They may also provide a boost to the immune system. Acidophilus appears to produce an environment which is hostile to harmful organisms.
