What is Super Lactobacillus Probiotic? Super Lactobacillus Probiotic Formula is a Lactobacillus Blend which includes L. acidophilus (3.6 billion), L. bifidium (300 million), L. bulgaricus (600 million), L. casei (1.2 billion), and fructooligosaccharides ("FOS" for short), 40mg. This probiotic supplement helps support immune function, fights lactose-intolerance symptoms, flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease and vaginal yeast infections, and supports natural digestion. It also helps to provide your body with resistance to food and other allergies.

Background on the Ingredients in Super Lactobacillus™ Probiotic Formula:
There is good bacteria and bad bacteria. Probiotics are good bacteria that positively improve the microflora balance in your digestive system which leads to improved digestion and an increased resistance to the growth of harmful bacteria. This also leads to improved immunity and resistance to infections.
Immune System Boost:
Good bacteria, like the Lactobacillus bacteria in Super Lactobacillus™, create natural acid compounds in the intestine (lactic acid, acetic acid, etc.) that make it difficult for harmful bacteria to survive. This is where the primary immunity function boost comes from probiotics. Additionally, probiotics produce bacteriocins which are lethal protein or lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes that destroy other bad bacteria strains.
Lactose Intolerance:
Studies have shown that using probiotics will help with the symptoms associated with lactose intolerance, namely bloating and discomfort. This is done by the lactobacillus producing lactase. Milk-sugar needs to be digested with lactase and lactose intolerant people typically do not produce it, or product it in adequate amounts.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease:
Intestinal inflammation is often caused by bad intestinal microflora and is particularly troubling, painful and recurrent for people with Cystic Fibrosis and Crohn’s Disease. Use of probiotics like Super Lactobacillus™ has been shown to decrease the intestinal symptoms associated with these maladies by reducing or eliminating the bad bacterias which can cause these symptoms.
Probiotics are an effective treatment for urinary tract/vaginal infections. The urinary tract and vaginal area are occupied by literally billions of bacteria cells of many different types and varieties. A warm, moist area, it is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and often this includes bad bacteria which, in high quantity, can lead to infections, particularly the common named “yeast infections.” Enter probiotics and their aforementioned affect on bad bacteria. As they do in the stomach, they also (yes, still consumed orally) can have a strong capacity to destroy bad bacteria and are used by many in the medical profession for treating the above health issues.
Natural, Healthy Digestion and Diarrhea Treatment:
Using probiotics can decrease the likelihood of having pathogenic Diarrhea as well as speed the recovery after Diarrhea. Pathogenic Diarrhea is the diarrhea most often associated with bad water or undercooked foods. Many a traveler to Mexico has incurred this form of Montezuma’s Revenge in the form of gastrointestinal distress and severe diarrhea. Probiotic’s help to fight those bad bacteria. They also can help with diarrhea caused by antibiotics by replacing the good bacteria needed for healthy digestion. Furthermore, once a person has suffered from diarrhea it is often difficult to get healthy digestion back in gear. Probiotics can speed that process of getting back on track with normal digestion.
Resistance to Food and Other Allergies:
Several studies have shown that probiotics will reduce a person’s susceptibility or severity of reaction to food allergies. Additionally, an overall reduction in skin and respiratory allergic reactions (including rhinitis) have been observed in people who use probiotics. This may indicate that not only do probiotics help stamp out digestive bacteria that an allergic person’s body has difficult processing through a bacterial mechanism, but also boosts the immunity and anti-inflammatory response to allergens.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Probiotics:
Studies are very preliminary, but indicate that use of probiotics may help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Specifically, malabsorption of nutrients may be one of the key causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the use of probiotics has helped sufferers with this issue as well as to increase their overall immunity.
Canker Sores:
We don’t know what causes canker sores, although many feel they are stress related. However, probiotics may help reduce the incidence of canker sores, specifically lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bulgaris. Some studies indicate that the probiotics help, others indicate that they do not. Obviously, more studies are needed to clarify the impact of probiotics on canker sores.
