Probiotic Acidophilus for Digestion and Reinforcement…

There are different varieties of probiotics in general and even different varieties among particular common probiotics, such as the L. acidophilus strand. At Green Earth Naturals, we sell a brand of L. acidophilus which was developed by a well-known doctor in the field, Dr. Shahani. This blog will tell you a bit about that specific brand and the documented health benefits associated with it.

Some of the most prominent health benefits associated with L. acidophilus are digestion aid and reinforcement; it helps the body produce B vitamins and folic acid, which is essential for fetal development; it helps produce enzymes which work to reduce lactose intolerance; it produces natural, antibiotic-like substances that kill pathogenic bacteria; it also suppresses bad bacteria that typically cause skin problem, bad breath, constipation, diarrhea, gas, dysentery, and stomach ulcers.
The benefits don’t stop there: L. acidophilus helps to metabolize protein and carbohydrates; it helps the body absorb calcium; it inhibits the growth of cancer cells; it reduces serum cholesterol levels; and it stimulates the immune system. All of these benefits contribute to overall wellness and gut health.
Interestingly, the method in which one produces the strain of acidophilus has an effect on how the probiotic works. Dr. Shahani’s strain is the DDS-1, which assures that the probiotic reaches the target destination of the human gut. Dr. Shahani also isolated and researched this particular strain of acidophilus, so that it would be of human origin and thus more adaptable in the human gastrointestinal tract.
Perhaps the most significant benefit of L. acidophilus DDS-1 is its ability to activate and strengthen the immune system. The immune system is what keeps us going and protects us from disease by fighting off pathogens. A strong immune system is priceless and relevant in all areas of human health.
Trying out probiotics as a part of your diet may really contribute to greater health. Look through Green Earth Naturals’ website to see if anything appeals to you!
