Acidophilus

Acidophilus is a beneficial type lactic bacteria that is needed by the body to maintain a healthy digestive system and immune function. The body is often lacking in this 'good bacteria', especially after taking certain drug-based medications; in particular antibiotics. Friendly bacteria is also useful when going on holiday to exotic places, as it helps keep unwanted food poisoning bacteria under control.

Soya Isoflavones 50mg

It is well known that women from the Far East do not suffer from symptoms associated with the menopause. The reason for this, according to researchers, is that Asian women eat a diet very high in soya compared to western cultures. Soya contains various essential nutrients, however it is extremely rich in compounds known as isoflavones, which are thought to keep female hormones regulated. Soya isoflavones have phytoestrogenic properties, are potent antioxidants and have bone-protecting actions. Furthermore these plant oestrogens appear to help regulate cholesterol levels and help block an enzyme which is responsible for accelerated growth of the prostate gland and male pattern baldness.
