There are some bacteria that can be considered probiotic, or “friendly”. These healthy bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. Acidophilus), occupy the intestines and vagina, prevent entry and production of so called “bad” organisms which can cause disease. This process can be accomplished through an assortment of methods, such as the digestion of food via L. acidophilius. This guides the production of hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid, and additional byproducts creating a hostile envoriment for unwanted organisms. L. Acidophilus is also knows to produce an enzyme which breaks down milk sugar into simple sugars, called lactase. People who are known to be lactose intolerant have the inability to produce this particular enzyme. These are only some of countless benefits from L. acidophilius supplements.

One form of “friendly” bacteria which is essential to promote proper digestion is Acidophilus. Organika’s Active Acidophilus contains a heat stable, high activity strain of acidophilus. Cultured in organic apple pentin, this item is ideal for travelers since no refrigeration is required.
