Poor digestive function is a contributing factor to serious health problems. A healthy digestive system is the foundation of good health. Proteins, the building blocks of life, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water are assimilated after digestion. If food is not properly digested, the body does not get the nutrients it needs, which inexorably leads to decreased health and even accelerated aging. While a multitude of factors are involved in healthy digestive function, one of the most important is the delicate balance of bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. The stomach and intestines are populated by hundreds of billions of these bacteria. These are organisms, not cells in our bodies, and each has specific functions, namely aiding digestion and protecting against other microorganisms.

A balanced composition of this microflora is essential, however, there are many factors that alter it, such as certain medications, infections, stress, a poor diet, aging, and even external causes such as the climate.

Research shows that supplementation with a mixture of microflora constituents can have a beneficial effect on gastrointestinal function and therefore on health.

NOW Gr8®-Dophilus™ provides high-quality probiotics, including Lactobacillus acidophilus, a well-studied microflora species highly resistant to gastric acidity that thrives in the presence of bile. Like many probiotic organisms, it helps prevent certain enteropathogens from adhering to intestinal cells. It produces vitamin K and an enzyme called lactase, which converts milk sugar—lactose—into simple sugars, making it very important for those with lactose intolerance, allowing it to be digested. It reduces the effects of rotavirus and diarrhea in children. Lactobacillus casei is a very promising probiotic found in the mouth and intestines of humans. Recent research has shown that this bacterium is active in the gastrointestinal tract and may help modulate the immune system. Lactobacillus salivarius is a species that has proven highly effective against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterial species responsible for a wide range of digestive system disorders. Studies have shown that L. salivarius is capable of producing large amounts of lactic acid, which inhibits the growth of H. pylori in vivo. Compared to other Lactobacillus strains, L. salivarius has been shown to have the greatest inhibitory effect on H. pylori proliferation.

Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria are isolated from yogurt. They are recommended for those with lactose intolerance, helping to digest lactose in the intestine.

Bifidobacterium bifidum has a high tolerance to gastric acidity and, like L. acidophilus and many other probiotic organisms, helps prevent the adhesion of certain enteropathogens to intestinal cells, facilitating their elimination.

Bifidobacterium longum is a bifidobacterium extremely resistant to gastric acid and bile salts. Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria are isolated from yogurt. They are recommended for those with lactose intolerance, helping to digest lactose in the intestine. Bifidobacterium bifidum has a high tolerance to gastric acidity and, like L. acidophilus and many other probiotic organisms, helps prevent certain enteropathogens from adhering to intestinal cells, facilitating their elimination.

Bifidobacterium longum is a bifidobacterium extremely resistant to gastric acid and bile salts. Studies have shown that this strain helps support the immune system and also appears to decrease enzyme activity in feces. Bifidobacterium lactis is one of the best-studied strains of probiotic bacteria. Clinical trials have demonstrated its importance in modulating the immune response and its usefulness in cases of diarrhea and lactose intolerance.

This supplement is stable at room temperature without the need for refrigeration, which is only necessary after opening.
