| Why should I use a Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum supplement? |
|
For efficient digestion and maximum absorption of nutrients, it is essential that a balance of micro- organisms (microflora) be maintained. However, in this day and age, maintaining a normal healthy balanced intestinal tract is difficult. Under these circumstances the pathogenic bacteria may predominate the healthy bacteria growth, and create an "imbalance" which in turn may impair normal gut function and lead to various problems ranging from inefficient digestion and utilization of feed, to the inflammation of the intestine.
Combined, the advantages of these organisms include:
|
The prevention of the colonization of the intestine by invading pathogenic bacteria or yeast's, with which they compete for nutrients and attachment sites.
The production of acetic and lactic acids which lower the pH (increase the acidity) of the intestine, thus making the region undesirable for other possibly harmful bacteria.
Assisting in nitrogen retention and weight gain in infants.
The inhibition of bacteria which can alter nitrates in the intestine (derived from food or water) into potentially harmful nitrates.
The production of B vitamins.
Assisting in the dietary management of liver conditions.
The Bifidobacterium Bifidum is considered to be an enzyme warehouse.

Lake's Lacto-Plus gives you the advantage of two of the most predominant intestinal bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum at a guaranteed level of two billion live organisms per gram. Both these organisms are friendly bacteria, and are common to the digestive system of man and all warm blooded animals.
An imbalance may be caused during stress conditions such as, during and after antifungal and antibiotic therapy, new arrivals, shipping, molting , breeding, feeding young, growth, injury, illness, and food soured in crop. These conditions can cause an imbalance of various types of microorganisms in the crop and digestive system. This imbalance may leave the birds susceptible to digestive problems. The use of these probiotics may prevent digestive upsets by maintaining a healthy digestive flora, thus inhibiting the growth of disease causing organisms (i.e. E. Coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Staphylococcus). Prevention is easier than the cure!

| "Lactobacillus Acidophilus" |
|
A natural inhabitant of the human small and large intestine. Found in the intestine of humans and animals, human mouth and vagina. The major beneficial functions of acidobacteria are:
- They enhance and allow digestion of milk sugar (lactose) by producing the enzyme lactase, and generally aid in the digestion of nutrients.
- They are able by some competitive mean, e.g. creation of lactic acid and other inhibitory substances, to suppress undesirable micro-organisms in the intestine.
- Some strains act to help destroy hostile invading bacteria by producing natural antibiotic substances.
- Some strains are able to help reduce the level of cholesterol thus lessening the dangers of cardiovascular complications.
- They are able to help lessen the proliferation of hostile yeast's such as Candida Albicans.
When the intestinal microflora is disturbed (the lactobacilli can be adversely affected) under the influence of oral antibiotic therapy, or stress conditions, the use of supplemental acidophilus, in food or concentrated form, can reverse such negative processes. The regular use of acidophilus bacteria as a supplement or in food is a protective means against an imbalance of the intestinal microflora.

| "Bifidobacterium Bifidum" |
|
A natural inhabitant of the human intestine, but also found in the human vagina. Occur in larger numbers in the large intestine than in the lower part of the small intestine. B. bifidum together with other bifidobacteria species are the predominant organisms in the large intestine of breast-fed infants accounting for about 99 per cent of the microflora. In adolescents and adults, bifidobacteria are a major component of the large intestine’s microflora. The levels of bifidobacteria decline with age and also in various conditions of ill-health. They produce acetic and lactic acids, with small amounts of formic acid from fermentable carbohydrates. The major beneficial functions of bifidobacteria are:
- The prevention of the colonization of the intestine by invading pathogenic bacteria or yeast with which they compete for nutrients and attachment sites.
- The production of acetic and lactic acids, which lower the pH (increase the acidity) of the intestine thus making the region undesirable for other possibly harmful bacteria.
- The inhibition of bacteria which can alter nitrates in the intestine (derived from food or water) into potentially harmful nitrites.
- The production of B vitamins.
- Assisting in the dietary management of liver conditions.
When the intestinal microflora is disturbed (and consequently bifidobacteria decline) under the influence of oral antibiotic therapy, therapeutic irradiation of the abdomen, reduced gastric acidity, impaired intestinal motility, stresses or some other condition, bifidobacteria supplements or bifidobacteria found in food products such as bifidus milk can help to restore the intestinal microflora.
