Acidophilus Acidophilus May Cure Yeast Infections and Vaginitis

Friday, 7 August 2009

Lactobacillus acidophilus may cure different diseases according to some experts. It is a lactic acid producing bacteria that it is thought to have beneficial effects on digestion and overall health. Under some experts
yogurt with acidophilus culture and acidophilus on its own has been shown to clear up yeast infections and vaginitis in children and adults
among other properties.

Acidophilus –experts explain- is a nutritional supplement product
which is often added to milk or sold as a capsule. It contains one or more bacteria which aid in digestion. Among these bacteria
you can find Lactobacillus acidophilus (A); Lactobacillus casei (C); Lactobacillus bulgaricus; Bifidobacterium bifidus (B) and Streptococcus thermophilus.

L. acidophilus
however
is not present in all brands of yogurt. So
you will have to check the labels of products. Acidophilus supplements usually work quickly and effectively. This occurs because they contain as many as one billion individual friendly bacteria per gram.

However
for those who cannot use milk products
acidophilus is also present in carrots
soybeans
rice starch
garbanzo beans and other sources. Health food stores carry a variety of acidophilus supplements in capsule
liquid and powder form. Some of the formulas contain bifidobacteria
another helpful bacterium
as well as vitamin C and other nutrients.

With the powder
you can make your own yogurt-type drink. For best results
acidophilus supplements should be taken on an empty stomach before breakfast
one hour before other meals. Many who have difficulty digesting ordinary dairy products often have success with cultured milk products
such as yogurt or acidophilus milk.
