How Does Each Active Ingredient Function in this Product?

Lactobacillus spp: Common inhabitants of the human body, this genus contains some of the most well-known probiotic organisms. Strains of lactobacilli have been found to  support immunity and produce substances that help promote a healthy digestive tract.*

Bifidobacterium spp: A genus of organisms that colonize the gut shortly after birth and are integral in the healthy functioning of the adult digestive tract. Strains of bifidobacteria are known to produce healthy short-chain fatty acids, modulate immune response and promote greater tolerance to dairy products.*

Lactococcus spp: Some lactococci are known to produce lactic acid in the body that helps promote healthy intestinal flora.*

Ultra Jarro-Dophilus ®

Living within us is a vast community of microorganisms, far outnumbering our own cells. Microorganisms that live in our digestive tracts are mostly bacteria—“good” bacteria—that have evolved over time into a useful, symbiotic community. These bacteria function in many ways to promote health. The most important thing that good bacteria do for us is fight off “bad” bacteria.

Unfortunately, the community of beneficial bacteria in our digestive tracts can be disrupted easily, especially in infancy. It is believed that breastfeeding, eating fermented foods and living close to the soil helped promote beneficial gut bacteria in our ancestors. But in our modern society, where antibiotic use is rampant, cesarean section births are frequent, infant formula is often recommended and processed acidic foods are commonplace, the bacteria in our gut are constantly under siege. Paradoxically, our sterilized, pasteurized, aseptic and preserved lifestyles make it hard to maintain gut health.

What are Probiotics?
According to the FAO/WHO, probiotics are defined as “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host.” Specific strains of probiotic bacteria exert different health benefits. Probiotic support for healthy bowel function is well established, especially when reintroducing beneficial bacteria to the gut after antibiotic use.*

Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14
L. acidophilus is a common inhabitant of the GI tract and the most widely known probiotic species name. La-14 is a well-characterized human strain of L. acidophilus that supports immunity.* Its tolerance to acid, bile salts and digestive enzymes as well as its strong adherence to human intestinal cells make it an ideal probiotic organism.*

Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011
R0011 was found to stimulate the growth of cytokines in a study using human intestinal cells (Wallace 2003). Cytokines can modulate the environment of the intestinal lining, greatly influencing the immune response to unfriendly bacteria.*

Lactobacillus casei Lc-11
L. casei is a common inhabitant of the mouth and intestine. It is used in many fermented food products, including cheese. Lc-11 adheres to intestinal cells, and is resistant to bile salts and acidic conditions, allowing it to survive in the intestine. By producing compounds, such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and bacteriocins, Lc-11 can help promote healthy intestinal flora.*

Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37
L. paracasei is a common inhabitant of the human intestinal tract. Lpc-37 is a well-characterized strain that maintains natural immune defenses and is considered safe and suitable for human use.*

Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-115
L. plantarum is found in saliva and is also a common inhabitant of the GI tract. Lp-115 benefits the GI tract by creating an unfavorable environment for undesirable organisms and is deemed safe and suitable for human consumption.*

Lactobacillus salivarius Ls-33
L. salivarius is a common inhabitant of the intestine. It contributes to overall good health and like many probiotic organisms may exude substances that are directly competitive with undesirable bacteria. Ls-33 exhibits a capacity to enhance immunity.*

Bifidobacterium breve Bb-03
Bifidobacteria are the most abundant species in breast-fed infants and support infant health.* However, these organisms are critical throughout life producing healthful short-chain fatty acids. Certain bifido strains, like Bb-03, work well as probiotics due to their tolerance to bile salts and acid, and their ability to adhere to intestinal cells.*

Bifidobacterium longum BB536
Administration of BB536 to healthy volunteers improved the intestinal environment, defecation frequency and fecal characteristics in a number of studies in humans, particularly after antibiotic use.* BB536 also promoted healthy responses to seasonal allergies in a number of studies conducted in Japan.*

Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04
The probiotic attributes of B. lactis are well established. Often B. lactis strains are beneficial in improving the tolerance of dairy products.* B. lactis Bl-04 is a well-characterized strain of human origin with documented human safety.

Lactococcus lactis Ll-23
L. lactis is a friendly bacteria used in the production of buttermilk and cheese, due to its capacity to produce lactic acid from lactose (milk sugar). This probiotic strain can colonize and withstand hostile conditions in the gut. By helping to decrease the intestinal pH and assimilate lactose, L. lactis may help to maintain normal intestinal flora.*

Jarrow Formulas® Ultra Jarro-Dophilus is especially designed to maintain, protect and restore intestinal flora.* The probiotic bacteria are combined with a polysaccharide gel forming matrix that helps protect them during transit through the harsh environment  of the stomach. Upon reaching the intestines, the matrix swells allowing the gradual release of all ten strains of beneficial bacteria.* Each capsule contains 40 billion total probiotic bacteria.
