Each D.L Duo-Dophilus capsule, provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, contains over four billion beneficial organisms, including a
representative of both the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera, mixed in a
base of prebiotic fructooligosaccharide. Oral supplements of live, beneficial intestinal
micro-organisms 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. Duo-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. Duo-Dophilus capsules may be a useful dietary
supplement for those who wish to support their intestinal microflora with
meaningful amounts of beneficial microorganisms. Adults take 1 or more capsules daily or as
directed by physician. No adverse effects have been reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Cebra JJ. Influences of microbiota on intestinal immune
