Description
L. rhamnosus is probably the most important probiotic strain for health of the mouth to the small intestine. It protects by coating the mucus, preventing toxins from reaching the blood. It even results in better smelling breath. L. rhamnosus survives temperature extremes and is resistant to bile salts and stomach acid, ferments 23 sugars and inhibits negative bacteria and yeast growth. It is hardier and keeps better without refrigeration. Compared to L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus is 8 to 10 times more prolific, has a larger spectrum of sugar fermentation (important for people with milk sugar intolerance), has better control over putrefactive microbes, and is more effective at inhibiting disease-causing pathogens.

L. acidophilus produces lactic acid which keeps a proper pH balance in the small intestine, inhibiting yeast growth. Studies have shown that L. acidophilus is effective in reducing lactose intolerance, inhibiting undesirable organisms in the intestine, reducing cholesterol levels and controlling diarrhea.

FOS (fructooligosaccharides) are short-chained indigestible sugars found in chicory. They increase the amount of healthy bacteria in the colon. As they are indigestible, they pass through the small intestine into the colon intact where friendly bacteria feed on them and multiply. FOS is often referred to as a prebiotic and is the ideal addition to a probiotic product as they keep healthy amounts of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.

E. faecium is widely found in probiotics used in Europe and Asia. It is stable and resistant to heat and inhibits the growth of a large number of pathogens.

B. longum is effective against putrefactive and pathogenic bacteria. It has anticarcinogenic activity, deconjugates bile salts, helps to synthesize some of the B-complex vitamins and may lower the content of serum cholesterol.

S. thermophilus
and L. delbrueckii subsp Bulgaricus grow in symbiosis, quickly producing important amounts of lactic acid that inhibit growth of putrefactive bacteria; they produce the enzyme lactase that helps prevent lactose intolerance and enhance immune function.
