We provide them with a home and in turn they break down our food into easily absorbable nutrients and help maintain our overall health. But, factors such as stress , environmental conditions or use of certain substances can affect the natural balance of friendly microbes. Bifidophilus Flora Force provides billions of beneficial intestinal micro organisms, which offer a whole range of health benefits. This product is also milk-free.

Article Probiotics and Allergies How It Works The beneficial microorganisms help to maintain the natural, delicate balance of flora that inhabit the human intestinal tract. (1) The microorganisms in this blend also help to decompose fecal matter, improving nutrient absorption and producing certain vitamins as metabolic by products . NSP (Nature's Sunshine Products) Advantage Bifidophilus Flora Force now contains two additional strains, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, to add to the beneficial effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum. To ensure product potency, short- and long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), were blended into this formula. Over 200 clinical and animal studies support the use of short-chain FOS for health benefits. These include enhanced mineral absorption, improved bone health and immune function, and relief of minor symptoms associated with occasional sour stomach and gas. Scientific Support The activities of these microorganisms result in many health benefits, including the synthesis of B vitamins (2,3), production of immune bodies for a strong immune system (4), helping to maintain cholesterol levels that are already in the normal range, and the maintenance of urinary and intestinal tract health (5).

Customer Comments "I was having a lot of health problems for which the doctors could give me no help, so I was referred to a psychiatrist. I met someone who encouraged me to take a natural approach suggesting I make some dietary changes and I began using supplements and herbs. I used CAPRYLIMUNE to boost my immune system along with Pau'D Arco and ECHINACEA. I used lots of NUTRI CALM to feed my weakened nervous system. I used BIFIDOPHILUS to replace the good bacteria, and added CITRUS BIOFLAVONOIDS and SUPER SUPPLEMENTAL for nutritional support. I was having much more energy, no aches and pains, and no infections. It's now been 2-1/2 years without antibiotics which is a miracle in itself." P.S. References 1 . Mitsuoka, T “Bifidobacteria and their role in human health.” J of Ind Micro. 1990; 6:263 – 268. 2 .
