Lactobacillus acidophilus is a lactic acid producing bacteria. Some scientifics think that acidophilus have beneficial effects on digestion and overall health. Acidophilus can be found in yogurt and other dairy products
which named acidophilus as probiotics.

Acidophilus aids digestive system
because different factors decrease the number of lactic acid producing bacteria that live and work in the gastrointestinal tract and protect us from harmful disease-causing bacteria. Among these factors
it is possible to find narcotics
alcohol
diet deficiencies
aging
antibiotics
drugs
medications
nicotine
and stressful living.

The digestion of food begins in the alimentary canal
mouth and stomach
and finally in the intestines
where millions of microorganisms
working simultaneously
metabolize the partially-digested food. Digestion can be impaired
short-changing us of the full nutritional value from foods
if there is too small a colony of L. acidophilus and other friendly bacteria
such as L. bulgaricus and L. bifidus. Also a fewer quantity of key vitamins will be synthesized and the immune system may be rendered less effective.

According to some health professionals
acidophilus aids the digestive process
helps correct constipation
diarrhea
mucous colitis and diverticulitis. It also reduces blood cholesterol
enhances the absorption of nutrients
sweetens bad breath
treats acne and other skin disorders
conquers harmful bacteria and certain viruses
helps alleviate candidiasis and other vaginal infections
and may even prevent cancer.

There is no solid scientific evidence for these claims according to some experts
but lactic acid-producing microorganisms
such as L. acidophilus
have been called a “second immune system”
because they put the brakes on growth of disease-causing bacteria
such as shigella-caused dysentery and salmonella and various types of diarrhea.
