Acidophilus works to restore the balance of flora in the intestinal tract. Increasingly, clinical studies are showing the fundamental importance of digestive health to your overall health and well being. It also helps in the absorption of calcium in the body, as well as other minerals. Acidophilus helps prevent fungus, diverticulosis, acne, and bad breath.

-
promotes a healthy colon

prevents occasional constipation, diarrhea, flatulence & bloating
-
overcomes various common skin problems
-

boosts personal energy & vitality
More than 400 different kinds of bacteria live in our gastrointestinal tract. The body depends on beneficial bacteria to manufacture B vitamins as well as to produce lactase and other antibacterial substances. It is currently estimated by the National Digestive Disease Clearinghouse in Bethesda, Maryland that 60 million Americans suffer from digestive diseases.
