Absorbable dietary composition for improving the biological balance of intestinal tract flora

摘要

A method for improving the biological equilibrium of intestinal tract flora in humans and other mammals, the purpose of this being to decrease emission of the malodorous gases from the humans and other mammals. The method comprises ingesting an effective quantity of a dehydrated composition comprising propionic bacteria in an amount of at least 10⁹ cells per gram of the composition. In a preferred form, the composition contains about 80 to 90 parts propionic bacteria to about 20 to 1 parts bifid bacteria.
