Acidophilus - The Friendly Bacteria

It has been recognized since the work of Nobel prize winner Metchnikoff in the early 1900's that we are dependent on the quantity and function of the acidophilus in our gut for good health.

Acidophilus is the friendly bacteria which prevail in our intestine and keeps the harmful bacteria in check. Excessive use of antibiotics and drugs, chlorinated water, junk and processed foods reduce the number of friendly bacteria in our intestine. This paves the way for harmful bacteria to increase in number and cause diseases.

Recent studies show that when Acidophilus population is reduced, yeast infection (candidiasis) occurs. Currently about 70% of females and 30% of males have yeast infections. The health problem is now recognized by the medical community. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a research article showing that Acidophilus can prevent and even cure yeast infections.

Acidophilus supplementation is getting more and more popular in other parts of the world. In France, Japan and India doctors routinely recommend acidophilus when they prescribe antibiotics. Acidophilus produces natural antibiotics and hydrogen peroxide. Many people believe in the use of hydrogen peroxide.

Acidophilus should be considered a natural source of hydrogen peroxide.

• Acidophilus is the best natural digestive aid. It is used for indigestion and upset stomach.
• Some people cannot consume dairy products because of a lactose intolerance. Acidophilus produces the enzyme lactase, which corrects lactose intolerance problems.
• It produces B vitamins in the body.
• It helps bad breath.
• Acidophilus helps acne.
• It reduces cholesterol.
• Acidophilus inhibits Candida albicans and prevents yeast infection.

In early 1950, acidophilus was approved by the U.S. Government as a drug when it was found equally effective as Neomycin Sulfate for E. Coli infection. However, acidophilus lost the war with the antibiotics industry and it was almost forgotten.

In our world of antibiotics, drugs, chemicals, chlorinated water, junk and processed foods, it is a good idea to take acidophilus daily -- two a day, every day. For other specific conditions, higher amounts may be necessary.

NSP has the best quality acidophilus available. Bifidophilus (acidophilus with more varied bacteria types) is also available.
