Some species of lactic acid bacteria contribute to the digestion of proteins, some deconjugate bile salts and promote healthy cholesterol levels, while others stimulate the immune system. The eight different species found in Jarro-Dophilus EPS are representatives of four different genera: lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, lactococcus, and pediococcus. By supplying a mixture of species from among the most important lactobacilli isolated from the intestinal tract, including Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. casei, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus and related species, Jarro-Dophilus EPS helps to safeguard all of these areas in which probiotics are so important for preserving health. Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (morinaga strain) has been shown in well-documented trials to stimulate immune response. Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 is a species whic
