Friendly bacteria in our intestines keep harmful ones from multiplying and wreaking havoc. Prescription antibiotics and poor food habits may kill off these little friends and allow harmful yeast and other creatures to multiply out of control, with negative effects such as gas, diarrhea, and other gastro-intestinal problems. KYO-DOPHILUS provides both a replacement for lost friendly bacteria, and a preventive measure against their loss. KYO-DOPHILUS combines the three most important members of the friendly group, who€™s cloning began over 70 years ago. KYO-DOPHILUS is used in over 30,000 hospitals and 100 university research centers. Unlike other brands of friendly bacteria, KYO-DOPHILUS is heat-stable. Other brands are not temperature-stable, and die very quickly at room temperature. Most un-refrigerated brands available in stores test out to have a very low count of viable bacteria. KYO-DOPHILUS alone maintains its potency without refrigeration. KYO-DOPHILUS is strong enough to survive gastric acidity.
