Multi-Probiotic 4 Billion

Multi-Probiotic 4 Billion

Multi-Probiotic 4 Billion capsules from Douglas Laboratories provide 4 billion CFUs of probiotic strains from the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera, mixed in a base of prebiotic fructooligosaccharides in each acid-resistant capsule.

These special capsules bypass the stomach and breakdown in the small intestinal fluid to allow target release in the intestinal tract.

Indications

• Support for the intestinal microflora and immune health

Functions

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; nevertheless, 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. Antibiotics tend to kill off both beneficial and harmful bacteria, and thus may also disturb the normal, healthy balance of intestinal microorganisms.

Consuming a probiotic supplement regularly increases the chance to establish and maintain 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.
