Additional
Benefits From Intestinal Microorganisms
The
health-promoting activities of lacto-bacilli working in conjunction
with other species of beneficial intestinal microorganisms
"native" to the human body include:
- Stimulating
the immunologic activity of the spleen and thymus.
- Creating
a protective barrier against the invasion of harmful
microorganisms by colonizing and coating the intestinal
mucosa.
- Competing
with undesirable organisms for nutrients, thereby helping
keep their spread in check.
- Aiding
in the production of beneficial natural anti-biotic
substances such as acidophillin, bifidin, hydrogen peroxide,
and more.
- Breaking
down carbohydrates, fats and proteins, while rendering
their toxic by-products inert.
- Aiding
in the fermentation of soluble fiber, which yields shortchain
fatty acids, supplying a full five to ten percent of
human energy needs.
- Increasing
the bioavailability of calcium, and thereby helping
prevent osteoporosis, shingles and other debilitating
ailments.
- And
much more!
