Acidophilus -
90 vegicaps, (Nature's Answer)
L.acidophilus as it is clinically known is available as "Acidophilus Culture", and is the natural inhabitant of the human intestine.
Live yogurt contains the usual yogurt culture L.bulgaricus and S.thermophilus as well as a certain amount of L.acidophilus and L.bifidus. However, larger quantities of these latter two beneficial cultures are vastly more effective for rapidly establishing a veritable army of friendly bacteria in the intestines. "L." stands for Lactobacilli, the family name.
What does Acidophilus Do? - It keeps the intestines clean.
- Eliminates bad breath, flatulence and constipation.
- Eliminates excessive body odour.
- Improves the complexion.
- Relieves fatigue and red eyes.
- Guards against intestinal upsets when on holiday.
- Reverses the intestinal damage caused by antibiotics.
Antibiotics destroy the friendly intestinal flora, causing an overgrowth of the fungus (italics) Monilia abricans. The fungus can grow in the intestines, vagina, lungs, mouth (thrush), on the fingers, or under the fingernails or toenails. It usually disappears after a few days of large amounts of acidophilus culture.
If acidophilus is taken on a daily basis, the entire bacteria population of the intestine which makes up 80% of the solid material of the stools, becomes lactic acid organisms. These destroy the gas-forming and disease and odour-producing bacteria. The desirable (friendly) bacteria live only on milk sugar i.e. lactose, and can die within five days unless milk in some form, or milk sugar, is supplied to them.
The exterior of the body in particular reflects the state of one's intestinal condition. Lackluster eyes, poor skin, dull hair, excessive wrinkles etc. are all subtle signs that intestinal flora is begging for the backing of friendly bacteria. When internal putrefaction (the decomposing of organic matter by unfriendly bacteria) is corrected, the entire exterior of the body virtually glows with good health.
Diverticulosis (stagnant food in the colon and intestines) can be completely relieved by the regular use of acidophilus culture. Calcium deficiencies can also be swiftly relieved by taking acidophilus, as the calcium in the yogurt is already dissolved and hence more readily absorbed by the body than in fresh milk.
Who benefits from Acidophilus?
Anyone at any age will find acidophilus culture to be a foundation for building better health. Acidophilus is one of the best insurance policies you can invest in.

What is the difference between a fluid extract and a tincture?
A fluid extract is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:1). This means that you get 1 gram of herb for 1 ml of extract. A tincture is an extract with an herb to menstruum ratio of (1:2), (1:4), (1:5) or (1:10). This means that to get the same 1 gram of herb you must take either 2, 4, 5, or 10 milliliters of extract (respectively).
How do you know what a milliliter is?
Usually a milliliter is approximately 28 drops of an extract, but since this is a commonly asked question, Natures Answer has answered this question by using calibrated droppers that show exactly how much extract you are taking.
Which is a better form of taking herbs, liquid or capsules?
Herbs can be used in both the liquid and capsule form depending on your personal preference. Liquids are more easily absorbed and are perfect for people who have trouble swallowing pills, such as children and the elderly. Unlike other liquid brands, Nature's Answer is alcohol free or very low in alcohol (12-14%). Capsules may be preferable because using them avoids the bitter and unpleasant taste of some herbs, and they can be packed in a pill case for ease of dosing, convenient for the supplement user on the go.
Why do extracts have alcohol in them?
In order to extract plant constituents most effectively, it is necessary to use alcohol. Alcohol is used because (a) it is the strongest solvent we know of that can extract a major portion of the plant constituents without harming its properties and (b) it is ingestible. (As a point of interest, Nature’s Answer uses only certified organic alcohol in their extracts).
What is the benefit of using an alcohol-free extract?
Firstly, many people simply do not like to use alcohol as they strive towards healthier living. Others may not use alcohol for religious reasons, because they are in recovery or are pregnant or nursing. Furthermore, alcohol is not for children. These products address all those concerns.
Secondly, and most importantly, alcohol-free extracts allow you to taste the plant, not the alcohol! This taste is extremely important in that it gets your body ready to receive the gifts that the plant has to offer. Tasting the herb is part of the overall herbal experience and healing process. Alcohol-free extracts enable you to truly appreciate all of the plant's gifts.
If alcohol is needed in extraction, how do you make an alcohol- free extract?
Nature’s Answer begins with organic alcohol regardless of whether the final product contains alcohol or not. After finishing the first step in the plant extraction, we perform an additional step to remove the alcohol. This is done by utilizing a proprietary cold extraction process called Bio-Chelation. Bio-Chelation describes the cold process vacuum distillation method, which removes all the alcohol initially used to obtain the good herbal extract.
It is important to note that a cold extraction process, as opposed to a heat extraction process, helps maintain the full spectrum, or Holistic BalanceT of the plant's constituents in the final product. The end-result is an alcohol-free extract containing the essential properties of the complete herb in a base of vegetable glycerin and water. (Vegetable glycerin is used because it can help to bind certain plant constituents, is natural to the body, easily absorbed, tastes sweet without affecting blood sugar levels, and acts as a good solvent and carrier for the plant constituents).
Are your herbs organic?
This is a good question. Nature’s Answer uses three types of herbs in their formulations…Certified Organic, Responsibly Wildcrafted, or Cultivated. Our certified organic herbs come from a variety of organic farms located throughout the United States. Many of our formulas also feature Responsibly Wildcrafted herbs. Responsibly wildcrafted herbs are those picked in a responsible manner, whereby no plant will be over picked and therefore, be a risk to the existence of the species.
They are picked in their natural environment at optimal times for harvesting, and have not been exposed to any sprays or fertilizers. These plants are also considered organic; however since they are not “certified”, they are referred to as wildcrafted herbs. Cultivated plants are grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides but are not certified organic and therefore, cannot be called organic. Ultimately, no matter the source of our herbs, all are fully tested for microbes, chemicals and residues … contaminents that could compromise the quality of the herb.
Is it safe to take herbs with my medications?
Most times it is safe to take herbal supplements from high-quality, reputable manufacturers along with doctor prescribed medications. It is important, however, to know that many herbs will enhance or facilitate the actions of the medications you are taking, so you should leave a few hours between taking an herb and a medicine. While most herbs don't react negatively to medicines, it is of utmost importance to first check with your healthcare practitioner before beginning any nutritional supplement program, and ALWAYS tell your practitioner if you are taking anything in addition to what they have prescribed.
Can I take all my herbs at the same time?
This is a tough question to answer, as it depends on the types of herbs you are taking, the reasons you are taking them and your overall body. It is okay to take tonic herbs together, meaning those gentle herbs that have a strengthening action to the body. If you are using herbs for acute conditions, it is best to take them separately from your other herbs.
I catch every cold that comes around my office; what can I take to keep me healthier?
The best approach to take is to use tonic herbs that will build your immune system, rather than relying on Echinacea every time you get a cold. The best herbs to take to strengthen and support the immune system are Astragalus, Reishi (or any of the medicinal mushrooms like Maitake or Shiitake) or any of the Ginseng herbs, to name a few. These herbs are ideal for overall natural protection.
