Benefits of Probiotics

Probiotic contribute to health in the following ways:
  • metabolize proteins and help eliminate wastes from the body;
  • increase overall nutrition and enhance rapid cellular growth and development;
  • clean the intestinal tract; (By attaching themselves on the intestinal walls and dislodging accumulated decay, probiotics naturally flush out waste often eliminating bad breath and body odor.)
  • produce a mildly acidic environment slowing the growth of disease-causing bacteria;
  • normalize bowel movements, relieving constipation and diarrhea;
  • produce many important enzymes and increase the availability of vitamins and nutrients, especially Vitamin B, Vitamin K, lactase, fatty acids, and calcium;
  • strengthen the immune system, thereby alleviating allergies, skin problems, chronic fatigue syndrome and systemic candida;
  • help to kill viruses and parasites;
  • can help relieve iron-assimilation deficiencies; (Probiotic bacteria produce Lactoferrin as a by-product of their metabolism. Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein essential to retrieving iron from the foods we eat.)
  • stimulate the body's own production of alpha-interferon, a key regulator of our immune response.
