According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 160 million prescriptions are written for antibiotics in the United States each year. Used to kill bacteria that cause illnesses, antibiotics also destroy the "good" bacteria, such as acidophilus, that helps maintain a healthy digestive tract. With the winter upon us, and more and more people battling bacterial infections, it is important to also consider digestive health, which is why General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC), the nation's largest specialty retailer of nutritional supplements, has reformulated its line of acidophilus products to promote digestive tract health.
(I-Newswire) - "When people think of bacteria, they instinctually develop a negative image, but actually some bacteria, like those found in the digestive tract, are necessary to maintain good health," explained Dr. Susan Trimbo, senior vice president of scientific affairs at GNC. "Our new acidophilus products provide consumers with two to four billion live bacteria cells that help promote a healthy digestive tract."
Acidophilus is known as a probiotic bacteria, which means that it helps maintain a healthy digestive tract and supports healthy immune function. GNC's newly reformulated acidophilus products, Natural Brand( TM ) Acidophilus 2 Billion CFU and Natural Brand( TM ) Acidophilus 4 Billion CFU, incorporate a new BIO-tract( TM ) technology, which allows the delivery of a greater number of live bacteria cells to pass through stomach acids and reach the digestive tract.
