More recently, the scientific community is exploding with interest as study after study testifies to the amazing health-promoting benefits of viable probiotics. Probiotics are sometimes known as healthy intestinal flora or beneficial bacteria, and have long been used to culture yogurt, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods. Science is revealing that probiotics are especially important because of their positive effect on the bowel. Many do not realize that the bowel is the source of core health and vitality. This is where the all-important transfer of nutrients to the bloodstream takes place. It is also the command center of the immune system and eliminator of waste products. If the bowel is not working properly, optimal health is impossible and the body is vulnerable to myriad conditions. If the problem is not corrected, severe bowel or gastrointestinal conditions sometimes develop. For the bowel to work properly, a partnership with billions and billions of probiotics is necessary in every critical intestinal function and to prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria.

The number of bacteria present in the intestine (intestinal flora) is ten times greater than the cells of the organism. In adults, up to 100,000 billion bacteria belonging to 600 different species are present. Between 70 to 85 percent of the immune cells in our bodies are present in the gastrointestinal tract. A recent study from the University of Reading, UK, stated that the level of positive bacteria in the gut diminishes by 1,000 times by the time we reach the ages of sixty to sixty-five. According to a 2007 study at the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, “Modification of intestinal microbiota early in life by administration of probiotic bacteria may be a potential approach to prevent allergic disease.” Some common things that can increase the need for probiotic supplementation: Virtually any drug OTC or otherwise, especially antibiotics Drinking chlorinated water Cesarean birth. Low-fiber diet Stress   Life 5    Probiotic Testimonies Yeast Infections I've had a real problem lately with vaginal yeast infections. Have been through several courses of prescription meds, including oral pills and painful creams. But wanted to try something more natural. So when it flared up again this week, I douched using a rinse of water mixed with the powdered contents of one Life 5 caplet. The active cultures in the Life 5 counteracted the yeast, and I feel GREAT!! -- Janis Candida I, too, have battled systemic yeast for many years (I loved sweets, too!). Why isn't anyone mentioning Inner Defense here + Life 5? I have found this combination (and isn't that its designed purpose?) to keep things under control... along with a lot of self control. -- Mary Canker Sores My husband used to get canker sores all the time. I found that acidophilus taken every day stopped them. A good probiotic (like Life 5) taken every day might be a good idea. -- Sarah Chronic Constipation Life 5 is the BEST probiotic I have ever taken! I have had bowel problems all my life. I have been taking Inner Defense & Life 5 for about 6 weeks now and my problem with chronic constipation is almost gone. I would have to say that no matter how many of the friendly little critters die in transit to me there are still enough alive to make our product the Best on the Market!
