Now Foods Gr8-Dophilus helps create a healthy intestinal flora by restoring probiotic balance in the digestive tract. It also produces immune factors that render protection against harmful bacteria like E. coli that causes many digestive problems. This digestive supplement is very beneficial to those whose digestive flora has experienced imbalance and disruption because of prolonged antibiotic use. Studies also recommend Gr8-Dophilus for diarrhea, stomach upsets, and constipation.

Probiotics are also known as the “friendly” or “good” bacteria that when ingested, helps in maintaining a balance of the good bacteria and the harmful kinds. A healthy colon must have 85% friendly bacteria and only 15% of disease causing bacteria. Most people have this ratio reversed, creating an over colonisation of the bad bacterias like E.coli and salmonella. The need for additional probiotics also arises from too much intake of chlorine and sodium fluoride. These two compounds are the most damaging substances to the very delicate intestinal flora and they are commonly found in treated city water used for drinking. Excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages also causes reduction of friendly bacteria in the gut. Other practices that destroy the good bacteria include prolonged use of antibiotics and contraceptive pills. Stress and other diseases also promote the multiplication of harmful bacteria. When there are more bad bacteria than the good ones, a person usually experience excessive bloating, gas, intestinal toxicity, and poor nutrients absorption. An effective probiotic supplement contains billions of friendly bacteria to replenish and boost the health promoting microorganisms in the intestines.
