Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen Peroxide is a natural compound with a long history of health and household use as a sanitizing agent. Like the antimicrobial compounds and lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide is a metabolic by-product of lactobacilli. Also like them, it works within the gut to control the growth of harmful bacteria.
Growell Plus Other Nutrients: Lactase, acidolin, lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide are the most significant by-products of Lactobacillus acidophilus metabolism. But it is an interesting sidelight on the ancient, mutualistic relationship between this organism and animals that several other beneficial by-products are also produced. Among them are thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, biotin, choline, Vitamin B-12 and pantothenic, lipoic and folic acid.
Using treatment level doses of a broad spectrum antibiotic destroys most--if not all--of the bacteria in the intestinal tract, including lactobacilli. Since most bacteria are beneficial or neutral and since bacteria make up a high percentage of most gut contents, such dosages leave an unbalanced gut condition as a side effect.
Using Growell Plus soon after such antibiotic treatment can counter this side effect. As lactobacilli establish in the treated gut, the weakened animal benefits quickly from the restorative effects of this organism. In addition, introducing lactobacilli to the bacteria-free gut of a treated animal is similar to the inoculating effect of introducing lactobacilli to newborns. If lactobacilli are the first organisms to re-enter the treated gut, they can reduce the pathogenic effects of re-entering harmful bacteria.
Growell Plus is a concentrated source of unusually viable lactobacilli. Using it after therapeutic antibiotic dosages can restore and then protect the natural gut ecology of the treated animal.
Growell Plus Summary: Lactobacilli are a safe, natural aid to digestion and the establishment of a proper gut microbial balance.
Growell Plus contains a uniquely sturdy strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus in an optimal milk sugar culture of human grade purity.
