Acidophilus is a bacteria which lives in your digestive system. It helps in the production of biotin and vitami
K and improves your digestive system.
Most importantly it helps maintain a healthy environment in your digestive track by creating an environment which yeasts and funguses find difficult to thrive in. Acidophilus also consumes the food source which the yeast and fungus also need to grow essentially starving them out.
The challenge is when you are eliminating a yeast infection one of the most important elements in your treatment is to remove as many sources of energy for the yeast as possible. This includes food sources for the acidophilus as well which causes not only the yeast but also the acidophilus to die off. Therefore if you want to maintain or grow your acidophilus population then you need to supplement.
Fortunately there are many sources of acidophilus supplementation including:
• Yogurt
• Miso
• Tempeh
• Liquid Probiotics
• Pills and capsulesr
All these sources of acidophilus will help you regain a proper balance in your digestive track. Although the best sources come from living cultures like yogurt and liquid probiotics if you are lactose intolerant or just can’t stand yogurt then taking pills or capsules will make a diference.
If you decide to use pills or capsules then be sure they contai
FOS which is an easily digested food source for the acidophilus. It will help the acidophilus to grow rapidly and help regain the natural balance in your digestive track. Acidophilus is a living thing, needs food, proper temperature, and a healthy environment in which to grow. So if you want to encourage your acidophilus population then you need to provide the best environment you possibly can.
Things you can do to help:
• Avoid chlorinated water
• Only take antibiotics when absolutely necessary
• Limit your sugar and refined carbohydrate intaker
Once you have your yeast problem under control it is a good idea to continue supplementing to keep your system in top shape. Always supplement after you have had a course of antibiotics or suffered from any digestive ailment.
Acidophilus is an important part of your digestive health so take care of it and it will take care of you.
