This product may have the following benefits

(please read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)

Recent research suggests that higher doses of beneficial bacteria are necessary and more effective in promoting an optimal environment in our gastrointestinal tract.

LAB4 complex consists of two strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus and two strains of Bifidobacterium bifidum.

LAB4 complex has shown beneficial results in 3 human clinical trials.

The LAB4 complex bacteria have been especially selected and isolated as they are particularly robust and well adapted to survive in the human digestive tract.

Bio-Acidophilus Forte contains 24 billion viable LAB4 organisms per vegetable capsule.

Probiotics and Beneficial Bacteria

Researchers estimate that more than 400 species of bacteria inhabit the digestive tract. Some of these are the pathogenic, or disease-producing, bacteria. But other species are considered “friendly” bacteria. To an extent, digestive tract health depends on the condition of the friendly bacteria and the control they exert over the less friendly, pathogenic variety.

Friendly bacteria are often referred to as probiotics for their multiple, interacting benefits. Some friendly bacteria, such as bifidobacteria can thrive only in oxygen-free environments. Others, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, require small amounts of oxygen and are known as microaerophilic organisms. As a result, friendly bacteria have the potential to play several roles.

Friendly bacteria produce acetic, lactic and formic acids which lower the pH in the intestine, thereby inhibiting growth of undesirable bacteria and enhancing the nutritional status by helping to digest food and manufacture essential vitamins.
