Bifidobacterium Bifidum And It's Benefits

Bifidobacterium bifidum aids in the synthesis of the B vitamins by creating healthy intestinal flora. Bifidobacterium bifidum is the predominant organism in the intestinal flora and establishes a healthy environment for the manufacture of the B­complex vitamins and vitamin K.

When you take antibiotics, the "friendly" bacteria in your digestive tract are destroyed along with the harmful bacteria. Supplementing your diet with Bifidobacterium bifidum helps you maintain healthy intestinal flora. Unhealthy flora can result in the liberation of abnormally high levels of ammonia as protein-containing foods are digested. This irritates the intestinal membranes.

In addition, the ammonia is absorbed into the bloodstream and must be detoxified by the liver, or it will cause nausea, a decrease in appetite, vomiting, and other toxic reactions. By promoting the proper digestion of foods, the friendly bacteria also aid in preventing digestive disorders such as constipation and gas, as well as food allergies. If digestion is poor, the activity of intestinal bacteria on undigested food may lead to excessive production of the body chemical histamine, which triggers allergic symptoms.

Yeast infections of the vaginal tract respond very favorably to douching with Bifidobacterium bifidum preparations. These micro organisms destroy the pathogenic organisms. When used as an enema, Bifidobacterium bifidum also helps establish a healthy intestinal environment. It improves bowel function by aiding peristalsis, and results in the production of a softer, smoother stool. Harmful bacteria are kept in check, and toxic wastes that have accumulated in the intestines are destroyed and/ or eliminated from the body.
