In-depth summary:

Acidophilus is a bacteria found in the body necessary for food digestion and assimilation and also in protecting the health of the intestinal tract. These beneficial bacteria help in extracting nutrients from the food and for protecting the body from detrimental factors. The intestinal microflora perform many essential functions, and have the ability of changing according to environmental and dietary changes. Intestinal bacteria are necessary for body health and in prevention of disease. In recent years different strains of drug resistant bacteria have emerged due to an overuse and misuse of antibiotics.
 
Acidophilus is the primary friendly bacteria found in the intestinal tract and vagina. They help to protect the body from an invasion of candida and other germs that invade and live in the body. Acidophilus helps by adhering to the intestinal wall and preventing disease causing bacteria from taking hold. They also help by eating all the food reserves and starving out the bad bacteria and allowing them to pass through without taking up residence. Acidophilus produces an antibiotic-like substance that works against other bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. They work to protect the body from invaders.
 
Acidophilus is the most prevalent form of beneficial bacteria found in the small intestine. It is estimated that a healthy colon should contain at least 85 percent Acidophilus and 15 percent coliform bacteria. Most individuals are lacking in the necessary levels of Acidophilus which contributes to digestive disorders such as gas, bloating, constipation, heartburn and malabsorption of nutrients. The overuse of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, excessive sugar consumption, aspirin, antihistamines, cortisone, prednisone, coffee and stress can all contribute to an imbalance in the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract. When Acidophilus is present in the digestive tract, we have an added protection from infection and disease.
