PRO-BIOTICS

Both man and animals need biologicals and enzymes in the digestive tract to aid in digestion.  Even one course of anti-biotics in a person or animal can wipe out the flora in intestines.  These digestive biologicals and enzymes must be replaced, or the digestive system will not function properly.

For animals, AG-USA has a wonderful pro-biotic named MSE which make a remarkable difference in animal health.

Pro-biotics for People

However, a good source of pro-biotics in people is cultured dairy products.

www.BreadBeckers.com has the equipment available to help you make your own yogurt and yogurt cheese.  I have used both of these, but find it more to my liking just to buy organic yogurt at the health food store or grocery store.

When you buy yogurt, it is important that it has at least 6 or 7 actives cultures.  Most yogurts have only 2 cultures, and these are easily destroyed in the stomach, and never reach the intestinal tract.

The following yogurt products can sometimes be found in the organic or "green" section of the grocery store:

Horizon organic yogurt has 5 pro-biotics, which is certainly better than 2.  It is sweeter, for those with more of a sweet tooth.

Stony Bridge sells a yogurt with 6 active cultures.  These yogurts are not as sweet as the   , and are excellent for those who like yogurt.  It comes in individual servings, or in 32 oz. containers.

Lifeway sells Kefir, which is a yogurt-like product in a smoothie.  It has 10 active cultures!  One of these cultures is bifo-bacterium-longum.  This is the pro-biotic which the body needs to utilize the mineral yttrium.  Yttrium is the anti-aging element.  Laboratory test animals injected daily with small doses of yttrium lived 3 times longer than normal.  Yttrium is one of the minerals supplied by Pure Aussie.  Bifo-bacterium-longum is an excellent pro-biotic to get into your system.

A number of health supplement companies sell live pro-biotics in a capsule form.  This is also a good way to get these back into your system.

However you do it, pro-biotics are one of the ingredients of good health.  If you choose yogurt or Kefir, 6 to 8 oz. per day is a good start.
