Innovative Supplements for Intestinal Flora Balance and Immune System Reinforcement The composition of intestinal lactic flora is both complex and varied. Harmony and balance among components are essential to ensure protection of intestinal health. Inside each of us live vast numbers of bacteria without which we could not remain in good health. Probiotics are a class of "good" or "friendly" bacteria that are normal inhabitants of the intestinal tract. To counter the effects of nutritional unbalance, environmental pollution, stress and the impact of various illnesses, it is necessary to keep the intestines constantly supplied with lactic bacteria in order to regulate intestinal flora. Supplementing our diets with an effective Probiotic repopulates the intestinal tract with friendly strains which improves intestinal health. Since the same microorganisms exist in vaginal flora, it is also positively affected by probiotics. Recent advances in Clinical Research on the health benefits induced by lactic bacteria have shown that Probiotics can address a large variety of conditions such as: Restoration and maintenance of healthy intestinal flora Enhancement of immune system functions Urogenital and vaginal infections Inhibition of pathogenic and putrefactive bacteria Diarrhea, including Travelers’ and antibiotic induced diarrhea Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and ulcerative colitis Constipation High Cholesterol Lactose intolerance Dermatitis About Matol’s Probiotics Matol’s Probiotics 24B and Matol’s Probiotics 24B for Women have been specially formulated and manufactured by the world leader in Probiotic Research and Development. Highly trained  scientists and technicians utilize cutting edge technology and innovation in microbiology to guarantee a highly superior and safe Probiotic formulation. These original complexes of 24 billion active cells represent the highest potency available on the market. Moreover, the mix of 5 lactobacilli (small intestine) and 3 bifidobacteria (colon) strains addresses conditions affecting the entire intestinal tract.   Lactobacillus acidophilus   Bifidobacterium longum   This is the dominant specie of the lactobacilli family that are the natural inhabitants of small intestine flora. Lactobacillus acidophilus manufactures lactase to digest milk sugar. It also produces a variety of enzymatic activities which have a direct impact on the immune system’s functions.   Bifidobacteria are the main lactic bacteria specie of the large intestine, also called the colon. While in infants, they represent the largest portion of the entire intestinal flora, they have been shown to dramatically decrease as a person ages. It is important to compensate this natural shortfall with lactic bacteria supplementation in high doses. Bifidobacteria produce a number of specialized acids to prevent invading bacteria, yeasts and some viruses from colonizing in the large intestine. They also prevent potential toxicity from nitrites in food and manufacture B Vitamins.   A 7 Step Quality Control protocol ensures production of the highest quality and most potent Probiotics complexes. They are manufactured with state-of–the-art equipment guaranteeing a 24 billion active cell concentration per capsule.
