Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus delbreukii

Beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbreukii and Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bifidus), are called probiotics. Research shows that probiotic bacteria are safe and healthy additions to the diet. They produce B group vitamins, vitamin K, digest cholesterol, produce enzymes, adhere to the intestinal wall and are normal inhabitants of the human gut.

Bifidus (see also Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus delbreukii)

Bifidobacterium are normal inhabitants of the human gut and newborns are colonised within days of birth. Much research has been undertaken to find the effects of these bacteria on good health.

Saccharomyces boulardii

Bacteria associated with probiotic activity are most commonly lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, but other non-pathogenic organisms, such as certain strains of Escherichia coli and non-bacterial organisms such as Saccharomyces boulardii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are also probiotic.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast; it is a rich source of the B-complex vitamins, niacin, folic acid, protein (providing all essential amino acids), and minerals, particularly chromium. It is an excellent source of chromium, both in terms of quantity and bio-availability. It is also associated with probiotic activity.
