D.L. Ultra Dophilus powder, provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, contains over four billion beneficial Lactobacillus acidophilus
organisms per serving. Oral supplements of live, beneficial intestinal
microorganisms for nutritional health and well-being are known as probiotics.
Probiotic dietary acidophilus colonize the intestinal tract, depending on the
specific bacterium-to-host affinity. Bacteria are continually in competition for
colonization space. The original bacterial colonies have an advantage over
transient bacteria. Nevertheless, the composition of the intestinal microflora
is dynamic and constantly changing. If harmful microorganisms proliferate, the
equilibrium is disturbed, and it becomes difficult even for indigenous bacteria
to maintain their necessary territory to colonize the intestine. Antibiotics
tend to kill off both beneficial and harmful bacteria, and thus may also disturb
the normal, healthy balance of intestinal microorganisms. When potent probiotic supplements, such as D.L.
Ultra Dophilus, are supplied regularly, chances are greatly increased for
establishing and maintaining a healthy population of beneficial intestinal
microorganisms. Once established, a normal intestinal microflora rich in
lactobacilli creates acidic conditions that are unfavorable for the settlement
of pathogenic microorganisms D.L. Ultra Dophilus powder may be a useful dietary
supplement for those who wish to support their intestinal microflora with
meaningful amounts of beneficial microorganisms. Adults take ½ teaspoon daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse side effects reported
