Keep Your Digestive And Immune System Healthy

By: Mercola Home | Health-and-Fitness | Nutrition


What exactly does Probiotic do to your body?

The term probiotics comes from the Greek "for life" - which gives you an inkling of what the word "antibiotics" really means.

Probiotics are very important. They are one of few supplements that give you a lot of benefits such as the prevention and control of:

â€Food and skin allergies in children
â€Bacterial vagniosis
â€Premature labor in pregnant women
â€Inflammatory bowel disease
â€Recurrent ear and bladder infections
â€Chronic diarrhea

Some of its benefits are as follows:

- Promotes an optimal environment for the growth of good bacteria
- Provides critical support for your immune system health
- Aids in the breakdown and removal of harmful toxins
- Helps maintain blood pressure levels in the normal range
- Contains multiple strains of good bacteria
- Manufactured to deliver live, viable organisms
- Good bacteria are supported once they arrive in your GI tract


Bacillus Coagulans are a highly bioavailable form of probiotic, also known as Lactibacillus sporogenes. It is called a "right-spinning" L (+) non-dairy lactic acid. Other lactic acids (often dairy forms) are right-spinning's mirror image, or left-spinning lactic acids.

The benefits of the right-spinning lactic acid include:

â€Excellent proliferating ability
â€Highly bioavailable
â€Long shelf life
â€Lacks side effects

Left-spinning D (-) lactic acid, on the other hand, is poorly metabolized. It also can cause metabolic acidosis, a condition in which lactic acid builds up in the body and blood pH drops below 7.35. Lactic acid is produced when glucose is burned by the cells for energy without enough oxygen. If too much lactic acid stays in the body, the balance tips and you will become ill.
