All products listed below are recommended for the restoration and maintenance of the natural intestinal flora
The extensive use of antibiotics, stress, incorrect diet, incorrect life style and environmental pollution lead to the loss of beneficial bacteria normally present in the intestines and upset the delicate balance between various groups of microbial flora within the human body. This in turn may result in various disturbances of the digestive system such as diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, dyspepsia, abdominal distention, spastic colon and/or the overgrowth of some, potentially harmful organisms, such as Candida albicans.
In our never ending pursuit for perfect health, no sacrifice is too great. We are prepared to try any treatment or diet. This relentless pursuit to achieve perfect health can be made much simpler by the administration of a range of products produced by Bioflora.

Introduction
Before birth, babies’ intestines are sterile. Babies (infants) acquire intestinal microflora from their mothers during natural labour. By the time the infant becomes a toddler, there are more than 400 species of bacteria inhabiting his/her digestive tract. Some of them can be harmful, but a few species have a mutually beneficial relationship with humans.
Two main groups of beneficial, probiotic bacteria are:
Lactobacillus living in the small intestine and
Bifidobacterium residing in the large intestine (colon).
These bacteria have a number of unique, health-promoting properties. When their numbers in the digestive tract are in the correct balance in relation to other bacteria, they control the intestinal flora and contribute not only to healthy digestion but also to overall well-being.
