NOW Gr8-Dophilus
is a combination of 8 different species of beneficial bacteria designed to support gastrointestinal health and immune system function. FOS is also included in this product to assist healthy growth of acidophilus and bifidus organisms. Because this capsule is enteric coated, NOW Gr-8 Dophilus delivers its microflora directly to the intestine bypassing the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. NOW Gr-8-Dophilus is stable at room temperature, requiring no refrigeration.
Digestive Health
A healthy digestive system is the cornerstone of good health. Proteins, the building blocks of life;
carbohydrates
and fats, your body's source of energy; vitamins and minerals; and water all are assimilated through digestion. If you're not properly digesting the foods you eat, your body isn't obtaining the nutrients it needs to repair, renew and thrive. Without the raw materials it needs to repair the damage we do to ourselves every day, your body begins to break down, leading to poor health and accelerated aging.
While there are a multitude of factors involved in healthy digestive function, one of the most important is the delicate balance of bacteria found in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. There are three main types of flora in the human GI tract -
Bifidobacteria, Bacteroides and Eubacterium.
Of slightly less importance are
Lactobacilli, Streptococci and Peptococci
and other transitory flora
1. Our stomachs and intestines are populated by hundreds of billions of these bacteria, or microflora. Amazingly, there are more probiotic organisms in our gut than there are cells in our bodies! That's a lot of bacteria, but it's GOOD bacteria, and each strain has specific functions in the human body. These bacteria aid the digestion of food and have protective qualities that contribute to good colon health. While a good balance of these different microflora is necessary, there are many factors that can, and do, disrupt this balance certain medications, a poor diet, infection, stress, bad bacteria, aging and even the climate. The good news is a rapidly expanding body of research suggests that supplementing the diet with the right mix of microflora can have a beneficial affect on gastrointestinal function, and therefore overall health.
NOW Gr8-Dophilus
exclusively utilizes the finest strains from Rhodia Incorporated, the world's leading supplier of high quality probiotic ingredients, and is enteric-coated to ensure that the bacteria in this product are not destroyed in stomach acid but reach the small and large intestines where they are most beneficial. Gr8-Dophilus is a vegetarian product that contains virtually no lactose.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
is a well-studied microflora species that's highly resistant to gastric acidity and is able to proliferate in the presence of bile. Like many probiotic organisms, it also adheres well to intestinal cells, helping to prevent the adherence of certain enteropathogens.
Lactobacillus casei
is a microflora strain that is found in the human mouth and intestines as well as in fermented vegetables, milk and meat. Recent research has shown that this bacterium is active in the GI tract and may help to modulate the immune system*. Research is continuing into this very promising probiotic.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus,
like
Lactobacillus acidophilus,
is highly resistant to gastric acidity and proliferates well in bile. It, too, adheres well to intestinal cells. We've included this particular strain because it works extremely well with
L. acidophilus.
Lactobacillus salivarius
is a strain that has proven highly effective against
Helicobacter pylori,
a bacterial species implicated in a number of digestive conditions. Studies have shown that
L. salivarius
is capable of producing high amounts of lactic acid, which has been shown to inhibit
H. pylori
growth in live subjects. Compared to other
Lactobacillus
s trains,
L. salivarius
was proven to have the greatest inhibitory effect on the proliferation of
H. pylori,
4
which is why this strain is included in Gr8-Dophilus.
Streptococcus thermophilus
bacterium are isolated from yogurt and are recommended for lactose intolerant individuals to help digest lactose in the intestines. This strain is included in this formula to assist in the acidification of the intestinal environment, as well as to create a favorable environment for lactic acid bacteria.
Bifidobacterium bifidum
is one of the workhorses of the large intestine. It has a high tolerance to gastric acidity, and, like
L. acidophilus
and many other probiotic organisms, it adheres well to intestinal cells, helping to prevent the adherence of certain enteropathogens.
Bifidobacterium longum
is a bifidobacterium of human origin that, like lactobacillus, is extremely resistant to gastric acid and bile salts. Because it's anaerobic (able to live without oxygen) it's perfectly suited to colonize the colon. Initial studies have shown that this particular strain of bifidobacteria helps to support the immune system*. It also seems to decrease enzymatic activity in feces. Researchers believe enzymatic activity in feces may contribute to carcinogenesis.
Bifidobacterium lactis
is one of the most well-studied strains of probiotic bacteria, with a wealth of peer-reviewed, published research on its benefits. Clinical trials on B. lactis have shown it to be helpful in a number of digestive conditions, including
diarrhea
and
lactose intolerance, as well as immune response modulation
