Primadophilus: High potency Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacillus acidophilus is a micro-organism, normally present in the bowels, which helps maintain a desirable balance of intestinal flora (J Nutr 2000;130:396S-420S).
- Harmful classes of bacteria, such as Clostridia and Escherichia, which are normally kept in check by others such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, produce toxic compounds such as ammonia, nitrosamines and bile acid derivatives (Appl Environ Microbiol 1983;45:1808-15, Infect Immun 1988;56:2610-4).
- Lactobacillus acidophilus has many other desirable effects, including facilitation of the digestive process, production of important nutrients, stimulation of the immune system, and protection of the colon from digestive residues that may be chemically abrasive, allergenic, and/or potentially carcinogenic (Nutr Rev 1995;53:127-30, J Appl Nutr 1984;36:125-53).
- Beneficial bacteria have many other desirable effects, including the production of B-vitamins, stimulation of the the immune system, metabolization of cholesterol that blocks its absorption, and protection of the colon from the chemically abrasive and potentially carcinogenic effects of bile acids.
- Primadophilus (DDS-1) is a patented strain of acidophilin-producing L. acidophilus which has been extensively researched by Dr. Khem Shahani at the University of Nebraska.
- This pure, potent strain has been cultured, isolated, grown, harvested and processed according to carefully controlled proprietary protocol.
- Primadophilus is resistant to deterioration in transit due, in part, to natural stabilizers, which have been added and appear as dark specks in this product.
- Probiotic bacteria play an important role in the stabilization of the gut mucosal barrier (Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 1996;70:347-58).
- Probiotic bacteria antagonize unfriendly microorganisms that produce toxins and carcinogens (JAMA 1996;275:870-6).
- Probiotics can help prevent symptoms associated with the loss of normal intestinal flora after a course of antibiotics (Am J Clin Nutr 2001;73:430S-36S).
- Probiotics support the optimal function of the gastrointestinal immune system (Am J Gastroenterol 2000; 95:S22-5) and can reduce the likelihood of abnormal reactions to foods.
