Lactobacillus acidophilus is a beneficial mircroorganism which helps maintain a norbal balance of health flora (bacteria). This form of "healthy" bacteria is beneficial to the human digestive tract so that it may continue optimal functioning and may also play an important role in supporting immune system function.

There is much scientific evidence showing the benefit and actually the necessity of probiotic bacteria such as acidophilus. Such evidence is however, commonly shrugged off in our society of antibacterial super-users. Such good bacteria as acidophilus play an important role in the production of many nutrients and in the proper absorption of nutrients.

Acidophilus also acts to keep destructive yeasts and bacteria suppressed therefore maintaining a healthy balance within the body. An extra benefit of supplementing with probiotics like L. acidophilus is the detoxification of the system which invariably reduces much of the stress on the liver. Many studies have suggested that acidophilus may be an immunity enhancer suppressing the toxic effects of carcinogens.
