Many harmful influences can destroy the beneficial
flora that normally flourish in the intestinal
tract. Stress, antacids, antibiotics, processed
foods, pesticides, chlorine in drinking water, and
high-fat, high-protein diets are just some of the
factors that can upset the digestive system's
natural balance of intestinal flora. "Probiotics" is
the term used to describe organisms such as
friendly bacteria that inhabit a healthy intestinal
tract. Simplexity Health's Acidophilus is formulated as a
probiotic product that provides a natural way to
keep the digestive system on track.
For the body to get the most out of food, the
intestines must be healthy. Acidophilus plays a
key role in supporting the health of the small
intestine. Simplexity Health's Acidophilus (Lactobacillus
acidophilus DDS-1 strain) is the small intestine's
super balancer. Without proper cleansing, the
small intestine can accumulate harmful byproducts
that impair natural digestive function.
Simplexity Health's Acidophilus formula contains a single
strain of beneficial bacteria, uniquely designed
to help the body process food efficiently and
eliminate waste. Each two-capsule serving supplies 2.4 billion viable Lactobacillus acidophilus cells at the time of manufacture, plus 170 mg of Super Blue Green Omega Sun to help nourish the acidophilus, further promoting intestinal health.
Other Ingredients: Maltodextrin (base), plant cellulose (base), plant fiber,
water.
Suggested Use: Two capsules with water each day. You may wish to
adjust this amount based on your individual needs.
Storage: Best if refrigerated.

A Word About the Small Intestine
The small intestine is involved in the digestion,
absorption, and transport of food. In the
small intestine, food breaks down further
after passing through the stomach, and the
absorption of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates,
proteins, and fat takes place.
Microvilli, hair-like projections along the
wall of the small intestine, perform two
important functions: they provide necessary
surface area for the absorption of nutrients,
and they help move food through the small
intestine. Acidophilus helps to keep clear the
spaces between the microvilli so they can
function efficiently. Acidophilus also promotes
the normal peristalsis (movement of
food) through the small intestine. Finally,
Simplexity Health's Acidophilus helps to create a
favorable environment for the growth of beneficial
flora, which dramatically influences
metabolism and overall health.*
