Probiotics Team Members Acidophilus, Thermophilus, Bifidum and BulgaricusProbiotics are often called the friendly bacteria. The name comes from Greek meaning “for life”. The official names of the team members are: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. These are the bacteria which are normally found in the healthy intestine. By optimizing the intestine micro flora balance(read bacteria) this combination of good guys bacteria inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote god digestion and boost the immune function.
The home to your immune system is in your gut. There are thousands of research studies and papers which now state unequivocally that a healthy digestive tract will give you a healthy person. The people who get colds and flu can look to their digestive system as the main culprit. It is now recognized that 80% of your entire immune response is in the health of your gut. This is one of those facts that natural medicine figured out in ancient times but main stream medicine is just now recognizing. This is why we put probiotics and enzymes in most of our formulas but especially the complete health formulas like Super Food Premier and Super Food Max. It is also in Super Berries in a proportioned amount. If you are having digestive problems we have a stand alone probiotics formula called Alphadophilus. Alphadophilus is a five bacteria strain combination numbering over 7.5 billion friendly bacteria plus Jerusalem artichoke and other herbal ingredients. If you are a traveler take our probiotics formula Alphadophilus with you. It will be the smartest thing you carry. Probiotics can fight off a lot of bad bacteria you may pick up in food and water. Why Probiotics You do not need to take these supplements if you are willing to eat the food our fore fathers did to accomplish the same thing. As usual it is all in the diet. They used to use, and still do in some communities in Eastern Europe and Asia, fermented foods. This eating practice will give you the needed good bacteria. However, I know that not many Americans eat sauerkraut, home made yogurt (not store bought) fermented or sour milk. Or we do not and probably will not consume fermented cabbage, turnips, eggplant, cucumbers and other vegetables like the Asian populations. If you want to have a good digestive system you need probiotics in your every day health regimen. If you are below the age of 45-50 you may not notice any problem but it is probably there never the less. As age increases so do the problems. On the reverse there are many people in their twenty's and up who already have major digestive problems that these good bacteria can help. That is why Super Fuel Plus was developed. It is the all inclusive nutrition package for optimal health. It will help everyone of every age experience better health. Give it a look see it may be just what your body is looking for. Enzymes work with the probiotic bacteria for a top notch digestive system. Digestive Enzymes are essential for more than just digestion but also the immune system and organ balance.

On the other hand a lack of good guy bacteria can cause a slew of problems. Without this good balance, immune dysfunction will result and in will lower your bodies ability to fight off every day health problems like colds and flu. Low bacteria presence can cause system stress and create inflammation which we all know can be the start of many major diseases. Most studies agree you should be consuming a billion or more of these little fellows a day but each body is different and some people need less and some more. Your diet is the major factor. We still get some in our diets but these bacteria are easily destroyed by heat and cooking and other environmental factors.
