The Potential Health Benefits of Acidophilus

By: Calvin Johnson

Acidophilus has been hyped up in various medical articles and studies recently. This begs the question,
what exactly is acidophilus? Acidophilus can be simply explained as a strain of bacteria that provides a
health benefit to the host. While when you hear the word “bacteria” you may have a negative image in
your mind. When dealing with Probiotics such as Acidophilus you will have to rethink all of your
previous thoughts on bacteria. Bacteria comes bad either good bacteria or bad bacteria. Good bacteria
keeps the body strong and prevents against infections while bad bacteria weakens the body and can
lead to bacteria infections. While many have known about the potential benefits of Acidophilus for
thousands of years, probiotics such as Acidophilus are becoming more mainstream now than they have
in previous years.




Why Is Acidophilus So Important?
•Improved Immunity: Acidophilus has shown to be very effective in increasing the bodies immune
system. What this means is that when your body comes into contact against parasites and bad bacteria,
your body will have the good bacteria to be able to fight it off.
•Yeast Infections: Yeast infections are a common occurrence for many individuals and for those who
have this problem, probiotics such as Acidophilus has been shown to be very effective against this
problem.
•Can Potentially Prevent Cancer Causing Agents: Many believe that Acidophilus can even help
prevent cancer, especially forms of colon cancer. While there is minimal evidence to support this, new
studies done in the future will hopefully shed more light on this.
•Prevent Various Bacterial Infections: Acidophilus bacteria makes it very difficult for harmful
bacteria to exist.


Foods That Contain Acidophilus
Yogurt can be an excellent source of Acidophilus. However, yogurt that has already been pasteurized
may not contain Acidophilus as the heating process has killed off all of the good bacteria. This is the
reason that many individuals use a yogurt starter to make their very own yogurt. This homemade
yogurt will contain probiotics. Have you ever been to to a sushi restaurant and enjoyed miso soup
before you had your sushi? If you have you already have receieved a steady flow of acidophilus as
miso soup can be another great source.

Acidophilus Probiotics Supplements
Many individuals prefer to take probiotic supplements that contain acidophilus as they can contain a
much larger dosage than you would find in either yogurt, miso soup, or other foods that contain
acidophilus.

For more information regarding acidophilus you can visit Custom Probiotics. Custom Probiotics has
several probiotic supplements that contain acidophilus.
