What are probiotics?

Probiotics are "live" bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines. The normal human digestive tract contains about 400 types of probiotics bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. The largest group of probiotics bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria, of which Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in yogurt, is the best known. Yeast is also a probiotic substance. Probiotics are also available as dietary supplements.

What are probiotics used for?

In most circumstances, people use probiotics to prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illness. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to diarrhea. Taking probiotics supplements (as capsules, powder, or liquid extract) may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria and thus help prevent diarrhea.

A decrease in beneficial bacteria may also lead to development of other infections, such as vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, and symptoms such as diarrhea from intestinal illnesses.

Probiotics are sometimes recommended by doctors, and, more frequently, by nutritionists, after a course of antibiotics, or as part of the treatment for gut related candidiasis (yeast infections). New research is establishing how important the supplementation of probiotics can be for a variety of conditions. Probiotics strengthen the immune system to combat allergies, excessive alcohol intake, stress, exposure to toxic substances, and other diseases.

Are probiotics safe?

Probiotics bacteria are already part of the normal digestive system and are considered safe.

Xocai and Probiotics?

Probiotics are a new "fast growing" segment of the Functional Foods industry. Funcitional Foods are foods that contain "sufficient" antioxidants and flavanoids to help the body. Xocai Chocolate is a Funcitional Food. SHIME (Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem) was created to simulate the stomach activity / environment of the large intestine. This system allows scientists to study Probiotics organisms up close. They determined that the key to a successful delivery of Probiotics is the survival rate and strength of the Priobiotics micro organisms after they pass through the stomach and small intestines and reach the large intestines so that they can colonize and flourish. Research has determined that chocolate is the "IDEAL" delivery system for Probiotics. If fact, studies show that chocolate is 2 - 3 times more effective than milk as a delivery method for Probiotics. Unfortunately, the traditional delivery methods of Probiotics such as "yogurt" offer "NO" benefit to those who suffer from lactose Intolerance. Xocai Probiotics is "lactose free".
