Nzymes Fortified Bac-Pak Plus uses a powerful blend of Micro Encapsulated live, viable naturally occurring microorganisms and digestive enzymes. The Micro Encapsulation process provides key protection against heat and stomach acid and insures that 95% of the viable bacteria reach the GI tract. This blend promotes proper digestion and improved assimilation of foods. Bac-Pak Plus was created for daily supplemental use with animals of all ages and designed to help optimize the health of a pet's digestive tract and immune system.

Animals get sick when their gastrointestinal tract becomes disrupted. Beneficial (friendly) microorganisms can no longer flourish in needed numbers and in the proper balance.

What is the cause of this disruption in the gastrointestinal tract? Past and present use of antibiotics contributes heavily to the problem.

Perhaps you are not giving your dog antibiotics, but unless you are taking almost superhuman precautions with your dog's food and water, he is still eating antibiotics on a regular basis. Every time your dog drinks chlorinated water, eats antibiotic-laden foods, or take prescription antibiotics to fight infection, you are killing the friendly bacteria as well as the bad. And, if that's not bad enough, stress and excessive sugar consumption interfere with the good bacteria in the system.

We are now being faced with increasing numbers of bacteria that are immune to antibiotics. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the 'miracle antibiotic" penicillin. During the Second World War, this antibiotic was made widely available to eliminate the most unmerciful of wartime killers; infected wounds. Mass production of this antibiotic began soon after its discovery and was eventually administered to everyone with bacterial infections. Four years after the mass production of penicillin started a frightening and unexpected phenomenon began to occur. Some of the deadly bacteria the antibiotic was supposed to destroy began developing resistance. This phenomenon has continued and is now a really serious problem. In today's environment it is literally becoming very dangerous for you or your animals to get sick. That is why it is critical for you to know about probiotics and live enzymes - the healing miracles of our times.

Probiotics consist of approximately five hundred species of bacteria that inhabit the intestine. These bacteria are sometimes referred to as 'friendly' or 'beneficial' bacteria.

How Do Probiotics Work?
By attaching themselves to the intestinal wall, friendly bacteria keep pathogenic bacteria from gaining a foothold. In addition, they produce lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, (which kill most disease-causing bacteria). Some yogurts and other fermented food have these cultures, but these may not be strong enough for today's environment. This is why probiotic supplementation is so important. It only costs a few pennies a day to supplement your animal's diet with probiotics and digestive enzymes.

Benefits of Probiotics
In sufficient numbers, these friendly bacteria keep disease-causing bacteria from overpopulating the intestine. Also, they improve digestion, manufacture B vitamins, and boost immune system activity. Because they boost immunity, they positively influence the overall health of the animal.

When to Use Probiotics
At Birth, the intestinal tract of newborns is basically sterile, which provides the best opportunity for introducing the beneficial bacteria found in Probiotics.

At Weaning, a young animal's digestive system is not fully developed to efficiently change from "mother's milk."

Handling (shipping, vaccinations, grooming, weather changes and extremes like surgery and other situations) can put stress on the animal. This results in reduced appetite and feed intake, which leads to possible weight loss.

Antibiotic Treatment often lowers the number or growth of Lactobacillus and other beneficial microbes in the digestive tract. Probiotics assist in the replenishing of these beneficial bacteria, resulting in a quicker return to a balanced intestinal microflora.

Since many stressful situations can not be anticipated, daily feeding of a Probiotic is recommended as a preventative measure.
