What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are living organisms - also known as bacteria or flora - that colonize and
flourish in the healthy intestine. These friendly bacteria are vital to health and to the proper functioning of the intestinal
tract. In fact, the healthy intestine contains approximately three pounds of friendly flora.2 These bacteria function as our
body's second immune system. They promote health by secreting tiny amounts of antibiotic-like substances; lactic acid,
acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and others.
When the intestine is flourishing with these "friendly bacteria"
there is no room for the harmful, disease-causing strains to implant and grow which they do if given a chance. This is called
competitive inhibition. Along with detoxifying and suppressing pathogens probiotics enhance digestion. Certain strains such
as those listed above are particularly beneficial because they produce abundant amounts of the enzyme lactase; thus, are effective
in helping many individuals tolerate dairy foods.

Why Choose Vital Probiotic?
Studies show that most North Americans have less than half the amount of flora needed
for optimal health. As bowel flora is depleted the body becomes vulnerable to numerous diseases including colitis, diabetes,
meningitis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, even bowel cancer, and a host of additional symptoms associated with bowel
toxicity. The healthy intestine requries the presence of friendly bacteria. However, common dietary and lifestyle factors
destroy those bacteria. Vital Probiotics replenish the body of this natural healing defense.
Vital Probiotics assist
in restoring the body to its natural state of balance in a world where life is often lived out of balance. Stress is to blame
for much of the probiotic depletion. Probiotics are also diminished by strong antibacterial herbs, cortisone, carbonated drinks,
laxatives, birth control pills, and lack of sleep. Courses of antibiotics, poor diet, toxins in the bloodstream, and the natural
course of agine further rob the body of the flora it needs. Vital Probiotics helps bring the body to optimal health by ensuring
the balance of "friendly bacteria" necessary to full function of the body's "second immune system".
