Details
Now Gr8-Dophilus is a combination of 8 different species of beneficial bacteria designed to support gastrointestinal health and immune system function. FOS is also included in this product to assist healthy growth of acidophilus and bifidus organisms.
Because this capsule is enteric coated, Now Gr-8 Dophilus delivers its microflora directly to the intestine bypassing the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. Now Gr-8-Dophilus is stable at room temperature, requiring no refrigeration.
Probiotics offer a variety of potential therapeutic uses. These include the following:
• Replacing the "friendly" intestinal bacteria destroyed by antibiotics.
• Aiding digestion and suppressing disease-causing bacteria.
• Preventing and treating diarrhea, including infectious diarrhea, particularly from rotavirus (a virus that commonly causes diarrhea in children).
• Treating overgrowth of "bad" organisms in the gastrointestinal tract (a condition that tends to cause diarrhea and may occur from use of antibiotics).
• Alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and, possibly, inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
• Preventing and/or reducing the recurrence of vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and cystitis (bladder inflammation). The best scientific evidence exists for vaginal infections.
• Improving lactose absorption digestion in people who are lactose intolerant
• Enhancing the immune response. Studies have suggested that consumption of yogurt or milk that contains specific strains of Lactobacillus or supplements with Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium may improve the natural immune response. Further research is needed to confirm these early findings and to best understand how the improved immune function may or may not help in warding off infections.
• Aiding the treatment of respiratory infections such as sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. More research is needed in this area.
• Lowering risk of allergies. Examples include asthma, hay fever, food allergies to milk, and skin reactions such as eczema.
• Helping to treat high cholesterol. More research is needed.
• Reducing the risk of recurring bladder tumors once this cancer has been treated. Much more research is needed in this area.
• Other conditions under investigation for use of probiotics include colon cancer, HIV related diarrhea, and Helicobacter pylori, an organism that can lead to development of ulcers.
