Acidophilus Plus Carrot Juice by Solaray contains over 3 billion living microorganisms per capsule, nondairy, freeze-dried. Beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, are called probiotics. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. Individuals with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Regular ingestion of probiotic bacteria may help prevent vaginal yeast infection. Use of acidophilus can prevent yeast infection caused by candida overgrowth. Diarrhea flushes intestinal microorganisms out of the gastrointestinal tract, leaving the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Replenishing the beneficial bacteria with probiotic supplements can help prevent new infections. The incidence of GÇ£travelerGÇÖs diarrhea,GÇ¥ caused by pathogenic bacteria in drinking water or undercooked foods, can be reduced by the preventive use of probiotics. Probiotics are also important in recolonizing the intestine during and after antibiotic use. Probiotic supplements replace the beneficial bacteria, preventing up to 50% of infections occurring after antibiotic use. Probiotics also promote healthy digestion. Enzymes secreted by probiotic bacteria aid digestion. Acidophilus is a source of lactase, the enzyme needed to digest milk, which is lacking in lactose-intolerant individuals.
