3 Helpful Bacteria

LACTOBACILLUS
Reduces diarrhea and helps ingestion of dairy products.  Found in foods such as milk, yogurt, and baby formula.  Also secretes factors that regulate the immune system and fight disease-causing bacteria.






BIFIDOBACTERIUM

Helps reduce diarrhea and mitigate irratable bowel syndrome.  May also enhance immune system function and prevent colon cancer.



Escherichia coli (E. coli).  

While common perception sees E. coli as a deadly bacteria associated with food and supermarket recalls, most E. coli strains are harmless.  In truth, E. coli is present in every human intestine and is responsible for producing Vitamin K2.  Additionally, E. coli prevents pathogenic bacteria from developing within the intestine.
