Ingredients In HLC Intensive

Lactobacillus acidophilus – Lactobacillus acidophilus is part of a group of beneficial bacteria that reside in the small intestine and vagina of humans. This is among the most commonly used probiotics to help people maintain healthy intestinal tracts while aiding in digestion. In food, lactobacillus acidophilus can be found within yogurt and fermented soy products, including tempeh and miso. Many studies have been done on the beneficial effects of this probiotic species on bacterial vaginosis and various gastrointestinal disorders.

Bifidobacterium lactis – Bifidobacterium lactis has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders since 1950. It is found in a variety of foods, such as yogurt and other dairy products. In studies, bifidobacterium has been shown to alter pro-carcinogenic enzymes, prevent carcinogens and suppress tumors. More research must be done on the anti-cancer effects of this probiotic species; however, its use as treatment for gastrointestinal issues is well documented.

Bifidobacterium bifidum – Bifidobacterium is one of the major strains of beneficial bacteria that make up the gut flora. Many benefits have been documented, such as decreasing allergies and preventing tumors, bifidobacterium is best known for its role in aiding in digestion. This species of probiotic is found naturally in the human body, mostly in the GI tract. It is also find in the mouth, breast milk and vagina. This species is believed to boost the immune system, help lower cholesterol, reduce allergy symptoms and prevent the effects of tumors in colon cancer. It is often used as treatment for vaginitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diarrhea.

Who Can Benefit From Probiotic Use?

Although anyone can benefit from probiotic use, those who are in the habit of taking birth control pills, antibiotics, over-the-counter medications, tobacco and alcohol may need to supplement with probiotics in order to replenish their supply of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Also, if you drink tap water (because of its chlorine and fluoride content), are undergoing chemotherapy, or if you are ageing, you might have a diminished supply of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Experts agree that this balance can impact your overall health by suppressing or boosting your immune system, so anyone who is looking to provide extra support for their immune system can benefit from taking probiotic supplements.
