Acidophilus is Kirkman's powdered broad-spectrum probiotic supplement.  It is a hypoallergenic product, specially formulated for individuals with special requirements and sensitivities.

Kirkman's Acidophilus hypoallergenic powder is comprised of a nutritionally beneficial combination of six microorganisms for "total coverage" of the small and large intestinal tract.  These six well-recognized probiotic strains work synergistically and in a complementary role in support of gastrointestinal and genitourinary health.  This formulation contains important "resident" as well as "transient" microorganisms that replenish and maintain a balance of “friendly” organisms, thereby promoting a healthy GI tract.

There are numerous factors that contribute to the friendly bacteria (such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Thermophilus) being destroyed or depleted, which include:

    •  environmental toxins/chemicals
    •  excessively stressful conditions
    •  improper diet or nutrient deficiencies
    •  food allergies/sensitivities
    •  overgrowth of yeast, bacteria, viruses, etc.
    •  abnormal permeability of the intestine
    •  exposure to numerous medications

Acidophilus can be useful to:

    •  support the body's natural defenses and the intestinal tract's immunological barrier
    •  help alleviate occasional diarrhea and constipation
    •  address lactose intolerance issues
    •  assist with regulating intestinal mobility and normal bowel function
    •  possibly help create an inhibitory effect on free radical activity in the colon
