Lacto bicillus bifidus aids in the synthesis of the B vitamins by creating healthy intestinal flora. L. bifidus is the predominant organism in the intestinal flora and establishes a healthy environment for the manufacture of the B-complex vitamins and vitamin K.
When you take antibiotics, the "friendly" bacteria in your digestive tract are destroyed along with the harmful bacteria. Supplementing your diet with L. bifidus helps you maintain healthy intestinal flora. Unhealthy flora can result in the liberation of abnormally high levels of ammonia as protein-containing foods are digested. This irritates the intestinal membranes. In addition, the ammonia is absorbed into the bloodstream and must be detoxified by the liver, or it will cause nausea, a decrease in appetite, vomiting, and other toxic reactions. By promoting the proper digestion of foods, the friendly bacteria also aid in preventing digestive disorders such as constipation and gas, as well as food allergies. If digestion is poor, the activity of intestinal bacteria on undigested food may lead to excessive production of the body chemical histamine, which triggers allergic symptoms.
Yeast infections of the vaginal tract respond very favorably to douching with L. bifidus preparations. These microorganisms destroy the pathogenic organisms. When used as an enema, L. bifidus also helps establish a healthy intestinal environment. It improves bowel function by aiding peristalsis, and results in the production of a softer, smoother stool. Harmful bacteria are kept in check, and toxic wastes that have accumulated in the intestines are destroyed and/or eliminated from the body.
L. bifidus has proved useful in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver and chronic hepatitis; by improving digestions, it reduces the strain on the liver. Many people who do not respond to L. acidophilus react positively to L. bifidus. Many experts consider L. bifidus to be preferable to L. acidophilus for use in children and her adults with liver disorders.

BIFIDUS SUPPLEMENTS & PRODUCTS
Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria (intestinal flora) normally present in the digestive tract. These bacteria are required for proper digestion, the synthesis of Vitamin K, and the prevention of yeast infections and pathogen growth. If our intestinal flora becomes unbalanced due to the depletion of friendly bacteria it can result in a weakened immune system. Probiotic bacteria produces substances called bacteriocins which act as natural antibiotics, killing potentially harmful microorganisms. Two probiotics, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, help maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria by producing organic compounds such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid. Probiotic bacteria is commonly found in cultured and fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, cheese, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, miso, and umeboshi.
The most common forms of probiotic supplements are:Lactobacillus Acidophilus: Is a friendly bacteria that supports the digestion of proteins, reduces fungus infestations, lowers blood cholesterol, aids general digestion, and enhances nutrient absorption. These are available in dairy and non-dairy forms, and all should be kept refrigerated before use. Should not be taken with antibiotics, but may be taken after completing antibiotic regimen to rebuild friendly bacteria levels. Deficiencies may result in bloating, constipation, intestinal toxicity, gas, malabsorption, candida or fungal infections.
Bifobacterium bifidium: Creates a healthy level of friendly intestinal bacteria that is important for the synthesis of B Vitamins and vitamin K. A deficiency of bifobacterium bifidium may result in constipation, gas, and high levels of ammonia from protein digestion, irritating the intestines, and after absorption, requiring detoxification by the liver. High levels of ammonia in the blood stream may cause a decrease in appetite, nausea or vomiting. Additional increases in histamine levels may trigger allergic symptoms. Bifobacterium bifidium may be used is a douche to fight yeast infections, or as an enema to fight bacteria and improve bowel function. Bifobacterium bifidium has shown to be useful in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver and hepatitis. Many experts prefer Bifobacterium bifidium for children and for adults with liver problems.
