Additional Product Information
Lactobacillus Acidophilus are microscopic organisms found naturally in the digestive tract and their function is to help protect us against the constant onslaught of harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and toxins. Also known as `friendly flora', these beneficial bacteria contribute to the bulk of bowel movements and also assist in extracting various nutrients from the food we eat. Fibre has been added to this supplement to take advantage of the known beneficial combination of good bacteria and fibre, which promote balance in the intestinal tract.
What are `friendly flora' and why are they so important? All day, every day, our bodies are a warm and productive 'home' to millions of bacteria (good and bad), and yeast-like fungi. Keeping the balance between the 'friendly' and the 'unfriendly' organisms is what determines a healthy digestive system.
Are you suffering the tell-tales signs of a digestive system
in distress?
Bloating, wind, cramps, constipation, flatulence,
headaches, water retention and weight-gain are all indicators
that the digestive tract is not functioning optimally.
Introducing significant amounts of 'friendly flora'
will help to ease
the symptoms of a stressed system.
Do you fall ill easily, and recover slowly?
This could
be due to a proliferation of bad bacteria in the system.
If
we do not eat the right types of food and if fluids
are not plentiful, harmful bacteria can thrive and the immune
system
suffers so that our resistance to infection is impaired.
Does your diet include 35grams of dietary fibre daily?
Nutritional experts recommend a daily intake of 35grams
of fibre each
day. The average diet contains just 20-25grams. Taking
Florafibre every day will help to increase dietary
fibre and promote
intestinal well-being with the help of the Lactobacillus
Acidophilus.
Do you drink at least two litres of water daily?
This
is the amount recommended by nutritional experts in order
to optimise natural bodily functions. Water is essential
to the digestive processes, helping to prevent constipation
where fibre is present and allowing 'friendly flora' to
flourish.
