100 trillion wild bacteria live in your intestinal tract...
...one of the most complex ecosystems known, and to keep the good bacteria thriving, it takes a high potency probiotic.
A probiotic deficiancy can cause health problems such as diarrhea constipation and IBS.
Probiotics contain different bacteria "strains". The Lactobacillus or “Lacto”
strains are most active in the small intestine,
particularly in the lower section called
the ileum. The Bifidobacterium or “Bifido” strains are most active in the colon.
These probiotic strains function by a number of natural mechanisms that
include competitive exclusion of undesirable microorganisms and modulation
of the immune system; their effectiveness is backed by scientific studies
(see Scientific References section on the Theralac® website).
Probiotics do two things that significantly benefit a person with
problems within their bowel:
-
They re-establish the intestinal tract’s beneficial microflora that are lacking.
-
They up-regulate the immune system so it can more effectively fight bad bacteria.
Probiotics contain beneficial Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains that colonize
the mucous lining (wall) of the intestinal tract. Lactobacilli work best in the small intestine,
Bifidobacteria prefer the large intestine (colon). When beneficial probiotic bacteria
are present in large numbers pathogenic microorganisms are kept in check and the
|intestinal tract is healthy.
It’s called competitive exclusion. The pathogens can’t occupy the same space held by
the probiotics. With probiotics in control you have less intestinal discomfort and your bowel
movements are normal and more predictable.
Antibiotics can do more harm than good for intestinal problems.
Antibiotics kill both pathogenic and probiotic bacteria and usually miss enough of the
pathogens that, when no longer held in check, takeover the intestinal surfaces and
cause diarrhea.
It’s called A.A.D. or antibiotic associated diarrhea. To correct this nasty situation
probiotics must be re-established.
You’ve probably heard that some yogurts contain probiotic bacteria.
The problem is they do not contain enough live CFU (colony forming units) to produce
a therapeutic effect.
Also, consuming probiotic bacteria in yogurt does not guarantee they will pass through the
stomach alive in large numbers (the stomach is harshly acidic). Therefore, supplementation
with a therapeutic strength, acid-proof probiotic product is required.
So What Can You Do?
The ONLY solution is to take an "Acid Proof Deep Release" probiotic supplement.
It is VITAL that as many CFU (Colony Forming Units) get to the intestines as possible to
re-establish colonies of good, (probiotic) bacteria.
In as little as one hour up to 95% of the good bacteria can be killed by stomach acid.
So it is also VITAL that the supplement have an Acid Proof delivery system.
Only one product has this exact delivery system. Theralac is so proven to be both
Acid Proof and deliver a guaranteed 20 BILLION CFU that it has been
recommended in Prevention Magazine.
How this benefits you.
Because many probiotic products are destroyed in the acid of the stomach, the therapeutic dose
can be significantly less than the advertised CFU. The chart below compares the Therapeutic
Probiotic Dose of Theralac to that of several other probiotic products available on the market.

Where no CFU is listed, total bacteria counts are often given, which can be very misleading. It is
advisable to buy only products that list CFU - the scientifically accepted terminology.
The immune system functions in both the intestinal tract
(mucosal immunity) and in the blood stream (systemic immunity).
Probiotics activate or up-regulate the mucosal immune system which then signals the systemic
immune system to kick in.
Here’s how it works:
Even though probiotics are beneficial microbes, they are not human body cells so they raise
a “yellow flag” when colonizing the intestinal surface. Since they only stick to the outside of the
intestinal wall (they are not invasive like most pathogens) they do not raise a “red flag.”
A real life example:
The Lyme disease pathogen for example, Borrelia burgdorferi, is a potent, dangerous pathogen.
Once past the first stages of infection it burrows deep into body tissues where the immune system
"forgets about it", until it raises its ugly head and re-emerges, weeks or months later. It’s during
this period of latency that an up-regulated immune system can be of significant benefit.
