Bacillus Subtilis is gram positive bacteria that exist in the environment more commonly rather than in humans. Bacillus Subtilis may be found in the soil. It also sometimes referred to as hay bacillus or grass bacillus. It is an effective in maintaining the intestinal health and in treating dysentery. Bacillus Subtilis also helps improve the immune system and fights against various bacterial and viral infections. It activates the secretion of antibodies such as IgM, IgG, and IgA that fights pathogens that invade and infect the human system that may cause diseases. Bacillus Subtilis aids in treating gut and urinary tract diseases such as Rotavirus.

Barley Grass is the leaf part of the plant barley, Hordeum vulgare, Hordeum distichon and is usually harvested at a young age to obtain a greater nutritional value. An annual grass, it is capable of thriving in a wide range of condition and climate. Barley grass has a high nutritive value; it contains beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, potassium, iron, amino acids and fiber. Vegetarians are advised to have barley grass to avoid any deficiencies in Vitamin B12. More than the nutrients it contains, barley grass has been noted to have potent antioxidant properties. This may be ascribed to the substance isolated, alpha-tocopherol succinate. Closely related to Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), alpha-tocopherol succinate is able to inhibit free radicals that may cause cellular damage by unwanted oxidation. Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara of Hagiwara Institute of Health in Japan emphasized that barley grass extract had been useful in promoting wound healing. In on-conclusive studies, beta-sitosterol has also been found in the barley plant that plays a key role in lowering cholesterol levels. This component impedes the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and hastens its breakdown to bile acid. However, hypersensitivity reactions that may occur to people with celiac disease or to those who are allergic are a potential side effect. Hence, precautionary measures are to be observed.

Bifidobacterium Bifidum , which is considered as a kind of 'good bacteria' is found in our body particularly in the digestive system. It wards off the bad bacteria that can cause health problems and also plays an important role in digestion. As such, it can keep various allergies and skin infections at bay and is also advantageous in case of urinary tract infection, yeast infection, high cholesterol, traveler’s diarrhea, diarrhea caused due to use of antibiotics, and tooth decay. The supplement Bifidobacterium bifidum is also popular by the name of probiotic. While there is no denying that it is important for general well being, using it in excess can cause bloating and gas. In addition, excessive intake of Bifidobacterium Bifidum may also interact with other medications and supplements.

Bifidobacterium Breve (B. Breve) is an anaerobic and non-motile probiotic. It has a symbiotic relationship with human that is particularly beneficial to the proper function of the colon. Some people have sufficient amount of B. Breve while some may need to take supplements to encourage its presence. It protects against diarrhea, allergy, gas, flatulence, and irritable bowel syndrome. It also aids in inhibiting the bacteria, E. coli. Bifidobacterium Breve is also present in the vagina which helps prevent the overproduction of candida albicans that causes yeast infection in women. It also produces lactic acid and acetic acid that prevents the growth of ulcer-inducing bacteria.

Bifidobacterium Lactis is a beneficial bacteria or probiotic present in the large intestine. It is commonly found in yogurt. Bifidobacterium Lactis speeds up the digestive process that may prevent the build-up of toxins inside the body. It also prevents diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome.

It also helps boost the immune function that protects against viral and bacterial infections. Bifidobacterium Lactis is also beneficial to lactic intolerant individuals. It also helps reduce cholesterol level and prevents heart problems.

Bifidobacterium Longum is a probiotic that lives in the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. They are the most important inhabitant in the body. These bacteria maintain a normal digestive tract, boost the immune system,and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Researchers in Japan are studying the effect of Bifidobacterium Longum as a useful gene delivery tool for cancer therapy. It is among the first to colonize the digestive tract of newborns and is important for the development of immune system tolerance. The lack of tolerance in the immune system leads to allergies and diarrhea.

HSO Probiotic Blend or Homeostatic Soil Organism Probiotic Blend consists of good beneficial bacteria (probiotics) that promotes proper digestion and optimizes the immune function. It helps support gastrointestinal balance of the good and harmful bacteria. It also balances the pH in the digestive tract. It prevents constipation and promotes regular bowel function. It also helps the body easily absorb and assimilate nutrients in the intestine. It produces Lactoferrin that helps in the absorption of iron from foods. It promotes overall health. It improves the immune system and fights against bacterial and viral infections by producing proteins that acts as antigens that boosts the antibodies.

Iron is a necessary mineral for humans, needed for example to help form red blood cells which transport oxygen around the body. Fortunately there are plenty of good sources available for both the omnivore and the vegetarian or vegan These include liver, meat, beans, nuts, dried fruit , also whole grains and many of dark green leafy vegetables, although some such as spinach also contain substances that prevent the absorption of iron as do caffeine based drinks such as tea and coffee. On the other hand the drinking of fluids containing vitamin C aids the body in its necessary task of absorbing iron.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a friendly bacteria. This is considered friendly as they are healthy bacteria inhabiting the vagina as well as intestines and protect the growth or entrance of organisms causing diseases. The Lactobacillus acidophilus is acquired by various mechanisms. For instance, breaking of food by Lactobacillus acidophilus results in producing hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid as well as other byproducts, and there by make the environment hostile for organisms that are undesired. Lactobacillus acidophilus produces an enzyme called lactase that is useful in breaking the lactose into simple sugars. People lacking lactose are unable to produce this enzyme and result with symptoms such as bloating and gas. Lactobacillus acidophilus aids digestion as well as suppresses diseases causing bacteria. This is also useful in chronic constipation treatment. Lactobacillus acidophilus alleviates irritable bowel syndrome and also reduces bladder inflammation. It certainly improves the lactose absorption. Consuming milk or yogurt having lactobacillus improves the immune response naturally. As it also cures respiratory infections like bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis, additional research is expected.

Lactobacillus Brevis or L. Brevis refers to a strain of lactic acid probiotic. It is commonly associated with the fermentation of dairy products. It is often used in yogurt and sauerkraut. It promotes a healthy gastro intestinal system. It plays an important role in the synthesis of vitamin B, A, D, and K. It has anti-carcinogenic property that fights and prevents free radicals from damaging the cells that may cause cancer. Lactobacillus Brevis aids in proper digestion and inhibits pathogens such as E. coli or Clostridium perfringens. It also prevents diarrhea which may be caused by rota virus or salmonella. It also improves the immune system and protects against infections.

Lactobacillus Casei is a member of the lactobacillus family naturally found in the human mouth and intestine. Lactobacillus Casei helps in proper digestion of food, aiding the body in absorbing nutrients from food, and reducing lactose intolerance and constipation. It produces lactic acid that helps in propagating good bacteria in the intestine. Lactobacillus Casei secretes Peptidoglycan, a substance that stimulates the immune responses in the intestinal tract. It is also found to fight carcinogenic substances in the body. Lactobacillus Casei is able tolerate acidity and a wide range of temperature change that helps in the growth of amylase that helps in digestion of carbohydrates.

Lactobacillus Paracasei is another type of strain of healthy bacteria. It is present in raw milk and is commonly found in fermented products such as yogurt. Lactobacillus Paracasei is resistant in acid and bile, enabling it to survive through the gastrointestinal tract. It also helps the nutrients become easily aborbed. Lactobacillus Paracasei helps in preventing and treating diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome. It works well with other strains of bacteria to keep the digestive organs. It helps maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the intestine that results in improved immune system function and even reduce the risk of cancer by fighting carcinogens.

Lactobacillus Plantarum is a member of Lactobacillus in the Lactobacillaceae family. It is commonly found in preserved food like kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles. It can also be found in the saliva. Lactobacillus Plantarum helps in protecting the lining of the intestine from being attacked by harmful bacteria that may enter the blood stream, causing even more serious damage to the body. It also improves the immunity and fights bad bacteria that may produce carcinogens in the body. It has the ability to quickly digest protein that helps prevent food allergy. It also allows the body to absorb and maintain essential nutrients like omega-3, vitamins and anti-oxidants. It produces lactic acid that acts like a natural antibiotic.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus is another type of probiotic. Aside from its positive effects on the intestinal tract, it also helps greatly in improving the immune system. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus signals the body to produce its natural antibiotic to fight disease and infections. It also helps in preventing diarrhea. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus aid in releasing lactic acid that keeps the harmful bactia in control.
