Further information about Solgar ABC Dophilus Powder (Childrens & Infant Formula)

It has been estimated that over 400 species of bacteria inhabit our digestive tracts. Some of these bacteria are called friendly bacteria, and some of the less desirable kind are the pathogenic, or disease-producing bacteria which often invade certain recesses of our bodies.

"Friendly bacteria" produce acetic, lactic and formic acids which lower the pH in the large intestine, thereby, inhibiting the growth of undesirable bacteria. Our level of health depends to a large extent upon the condition of the friendly bacteria and the control which they are able to exert over the less friendly pathogenic kind. Some of the friendly bacteria can only thrive in an environment almost totally free of oxygen such as, bifidobacteria. Others require small amounts of oxygen to live and thrive and are therefore called, microaerophilic organisms, such as, Lactobacillus acidophilus, which also has some strains which can survive without oxygen.

Friendly bacteria, therefore, have the potential to play twin roles. First, they markedly enhance our nutritional status by helping to digest our food and manufacture essential vitamins. Secondly, they play specific and important therapeutic roles. It is for these multiple and interacting benefits which friendly bacteria bestow on us that the term "probiotics" has been coined. This indicates that they support and enhance life: our life and their own; in contrast to the anti-life activity of antibiotics which indiscriminately kill bacteria, friend and foe alike, when they are administered.
