Digestive tract of humans and ultimately the whole mucosal system contain billions of germs. Some of them are important for the digestion of food and activities of the immune system. There are up to 1,000 species of bacteria in the intestinal tract. Some of them are harmful (pathogenic) to a human and some are “friendly” to their host. The friendly bacteria are beneficial to good health and they help in the digestive process and to stimulate and maintain the natural immunity of the body. As up to 8O % of immune cells are located in the digestive tract.

There is never ending battle between pathogenic and beneficial bacteria for the living space, because both groups consume the same nutrients as their food. A structure of the intestinal microflora of every human being depends on the outcome of this competition and is unique for each person. Bacteria form a biological film inside the intestinal tract. The more there are the beneficial ones in, the more our digestive system functions properly.

However, the mutual influence and actions of microorganisms in the gut are so complicated, that only a variety of more lactic acid species inside the preparation has a chance for a high-quality effect, because every lactic acid species has a different contribution against pathogenic and putrefactive microorganisms. One or two bacteria strains only, although in large concentrations, can never provide the same effect as a preparation containing a balanced mix of bacteria strains. Preparations Dophilus have such well-balanced combinations, each of them in correlation with the appropriate age group.

Probiotics are live microbial food supplements that influence the human health by improving and harmonizing the activities of the intestinal tract and contribute to the creation of microbial balance in the gut. Probiotics contain living liofilizated (i.e., frozen and dried) microorganisms, which will operate after the passage of stomach and gallbladder to the intestinal tract of humans. In order not to reduce their effect by gastric acid and bile juices, they are protected inside capsules to ensure their safe passage through to the intestinal tract. The word “Probiosis” translated means “for life” and characterizes the fundamental characteristic of probiotics, In other words, the fact that probiotics contain strains of bacteria, which are alive.
