Background: Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, Digestive Health and the Immune System

• HOWARU® Dophilus is the world’s best documented Lactobacillus acidophilus
• It is the only L. acidophilus with its genome fully sequenced
• Studies began on this strain in the early 1970’s, so there are many years of proven safety and efficacy.
• Studies have shown that ingestion of probiotics is beneficial in maintaining the body’s delicate microbial balance, which is a critical factor in human health and well-being.
• According to the American College of Gastroenterolgy, approximately one-third of the U.S. adult population suffers from some type of gastrointestinal ailment.
• The gastrointestinal tract is the body’s largest immune organ, containing an estimated 80% of all antibody-producing cells. An immune system that functions optimally is an important safeguard against infectious and non-infectious diseases, so the intestinal microflora represents one of the key elements in support of this system.
