PROBIOTIC 5
A soy and dairy-free blend of key probiotic bacteria to support gastrointestinal health
High–strength, five-strain blend of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria
Provides 10 billion CFU per convenient once-daily capsule
Each capsule of Probiotic-5 provides 10 billion CFU of five beneficial bacteria strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium lactis. This formula combines lactobacilli and bifidobacteria to promote gastrointestinal (G.I.) tract health. L. acidophilus and B. longum maintain healthy G.I. barrier function, in part by supporting the mucosal lining of the G.I. tract. Several trials have also revealed that mixed probiotic supplementation helps maintain intestinal flora and maintain gastrointestinal comfort. A study involving elderly individuals indicated that a mixture of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria maintained healthy gut ecology.
About
Probiotics
Probiotics
aren't just essential for digestive and colon health, they also boost your health in general...
Probiotics
are the beneficial microbial
flora
that we all need for optimal health. These "good" bacteria (and yeast) colonize our digestive and urinary tracts and the vagina in women where they grow and help to maintain the health of our mucous membranes. You can think of this in the same way as sowing your lawn with grass seed to create a thick, lush carpet of grass that can protect against the growth of weeds.
Probiotics seed your body with beneficial bacteria to help protect against the growth of pathological ("bad") microbes like E. coli and
Candida. This helps no matter the location of the mucous membrane in the body: whether the vagina, bladder or GI tract. In the gut they also promote proper digestion and in some cases actually produce or functionally convert essential nutrients for our absorption and use. Many normal, bodily functions require healthy gut flora, and their effects range from healthy immune function to proper heart function and
skin health.
The Types of Friendly Bacteria
In general, probiotics can be categorized by where they are used in the body. For example, there are friendly bacteria, which only grow in the small intestine and those that proliferate only in the large intestine (colon). But, believe it or not, beneficial bacteria exist in the mouth, urinary tract, stomach, vagina, and even on the surface of the skin. Certain strains colonize certain areas of the body more easily than others. More specific information can be seen below.
Lack of Healthy Gut Flora
Without healthy gut flora, a number of conditions can result including: poor assimilation of nutrients, intestinal irritation,
diarrhea
or
constipation. Both naturopathic and medical doctors recognize the importance that the gut flora plays in overall health. Certain strains of Lactobacillus have been shown to be crucial for producing important immune factors, while others have been shown to be crucial for the reduction of bad cholesterol. For more information on Lactobacillus,

flu
"), vaginal
yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and even skin conditions like acne.
Immune Regulation
Proper colonization of the gut by beneficial bacteria helps to regulate our entire immune system. Well over 70% of our immune cells are actually located in our gut tissue as "gut associated lymphatic tissue (GALT). These cells are constantly interacting with the bacteria in our gut, and having good bacteria present can help to train our immune system to be properly active against pathogens and tolerant to everything else. This is how probiotics can help to reduce and prevent autoimmune diseases such as:
lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis,
irritable bowel
disease,
psoriasis, and eczema.
Anti-infection and Detox
Candida
infections can be particularly stubborn and often require long-term use of a probiotic in addition to the use of other therapies. For more information on Candida and its treatment,
please click here. The same need for probiotics exists in instances of food poisoning, which not only deplete gut flora, but can also cause damage to the intestinal lining; the use of a high cell count, therapeutic probiotic is therefore appropriate if you've had food poisoning. Another common use for probiotics is for preventing parasites and diarrhea while traveling. For more information on treating
Traveller's Diarrhea,
please click here. Whether the gut flora has been lost due to diarrhea or due to an intentional cleanse, probiotic supplements can perform a "rebuilding" function, helping to replenish friendly bacteria that have been depleted.
What to Look for in a Probiotic
There are literally thousands of probiotic supplements available in health food stores today; with so many available it can be difficult to know which one is best for you or your family. A multi-strain probiotic is frequently the best way to go for most people. This type of probiotic can supply you with at least 6, 8 or even as many as 10 or 20 different strains of healthy bacteria. Your body naturally contains a wide variety of strains, so it makes sense to take a supplement with as broad a spectrum as possible. This will give you the greatest coverage to replenish or maintain the natural gut flora. The greater the diversity, the greater the strength of your body's flora.
