Enteric Coated Capsules Deliver Friendly Organisms to the Colon Acidophilus Enteric & Bifido Plus Enteric Deliver Maximum Potency A special enteric coating allows Acidophilus E.C. and Bifido Plus E.C. capsules to pass through harsh stomach acids intact to deliver maximum potency to the lower intestinal tract where they are needed most. As much as 98% of the fragile, living organisms in many powders and capsules are destroyed by stomach acids before they reach the intestines. Along with specially selected strains of live lactobacillus acidophilus and bifido bacterium (in Bifido Plus Enteric), these enteric coated capsules contain lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus, a strain which is highly resistant to antibiotics and other drugs that may be present in the intestines. The easy-to-swallow capsules give better patient compliance than powders that must be mixed and these products are hypoallergenic. Acidophilus Enteric and Bifido Plus Enteric contain no whey, soy, corn, wheat, yeast or preservatives. Since the organisms are grown and packaged in a base of maltodextrin, these products are milk free. "Friendly" Bacteria Control Candida and Much More Some 60 serious health problems have been related to candidiasis, the over population of the yeast/fungus candida albicans. This yeast-like organism normally lives inoffensively in most of our mucous membranes, kept in check by the beneficial lactobacillus and bifidobacteria.(13) When these beneficial flora are not present in sufficient quantities, the candida population in the gastrointestinal tract multiplies suddenly. It then changes from a yeast-like form to a fungal one with long root-like structures that penetrate the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal wall, allowing substances normally confined to the GI tract to "leak" into the bloodstream.(13) Incompletely digested protein which enters the bloodstream can cause the immune system to produce antibodies, resulting in severe allergic reactions, including the recently recognized cerebral allergies associated with depression, memory deficit, mood swings and behavior problems. Rapidly expanding candida colonies also produce toxins and can themselves escape into the bloodstream to be relocated almost anywhere in the body, producing dire systemic effects. A proliferation of candida albicans in children results in the common childhood condition, thrush.(13) Bifido bacteria is especially needed by infants, children, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Lactobacilli are present in the body from birth, but the bifidobacteria appear during the first week after birth, fostered by the presence of the bifidus factor in mother's milk. The mother's diet can affect her baby's microflora and due to rising levels of environmental contaminants, mother's milk may not be as healthful as once thought.(13) Supplementation has also been shown to be beneficial in the reduction of serum cholesterol,(8-10) resolution of intractable eczema(2) and synthesis of several important B vitamins. Certain Conditions Cause Microflora Imbalance Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria are essential to human health, but most of us are severely lacking in these friendly organisms due to environmental factors such as. High potency Acidophilus Enteric and Bifido Plus Enteric, which release beneficial micro-organisms directly into the lower intestinal tract where they are needed, can help overcome conditions that cause an imbalance of microflora.
