What are probiotics?
Probiotics are "live" bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines. The normal human digestive tract contains about 400 types of probiotics bacteria that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive system. The largest group of probiotics bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria, of which Lactobacillus acidophilus, found in yogurt, is the best known. Yeast is also a probiotic substance. Probiotics are also available as dietary supplements.

What are probiotics used for?
In most circumstances, people use probiotics to prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill "good" (beneficial) bacteria along with the bacteria that cause illness. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may lead to diarrhea. Taking probiotics supplements (as capsules, powder, or liquid extract) may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria and thus help prevent diarrhea. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may also lead to development of other infections, such as vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections, and symptoms such as diarrhea from intestinal illnesses.Probiotics are sometimes recommended by doctors, and, more frequently, by nutritionists, after a course of antibiotics, or as part of the treatment for gut related candidiasis (yeast infections). New research is establishing how important the supplementation of probiotics can be for a variety of conditions. Probiotics strengthen the immune system to combat allergies, excessive alcohol intake, stress, exposure to toxic substances, and other diseases.

Are probiotics safe?
Probiotics bacteria are already part of the normal digestive system and are considered safe.

Xocai and Probiotics?
Probiotics are a new "fast growing" segment of the Functional Foods industry. Funcitional Foods are foods that contain "sufficient" antioxidants and flavanoids to help the body. Xocai Chocolate is a Funcitional Food. SHIME (Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem) was created to simulate the stomach activity / environment of the large intestine. This system allows scientists to study Probiotics organisms up close. They determined that the key to a successful delivery of Probiotics is the survival rate and strength of the Priobiotics micro organisms after they pass through the stomach and small intestines and reach the large intestines so that they can colonize and flourish. Research has determined that chocolate is the "IDEAL" delivery system for Probiotics. If fact, studies show that chocolate is 2 - 3 times more effective than milk as a delivery method for Probiotics. Unfortunately, the traditional delivery methods of Probiotics such as "yogurt" offer "NO" benefit to those who suffer from lactose Intolerance. Xocai Probiotics is "lactose free".

Over 95 Million People Suffer From Digestive Problems
A single 11 gram square of Xocai Probiotics chocolate will deliver approximately 1 billion Probiotics organisms. Potentially, 1 in 3 people in Aamerica will be looking to use this product.

There are many natural functional foods in virtually every food group. As we all know, chocolate itself is a functional food if it contains sufficient antioxidants and flavonoids. However, it is now possible for manufacturers to create functional foods by fortifying and enhancing their products to give them added health benefits never before possible.
A new growing segment of functional food is called "probiotics". Probiotic means 'fit for life', or 'pro life'. Probiotics are living microorganisms which when administered effectively in adequate amounts confer health benefits. The adult intestinal tract is home to approximately 100 trillion microorganisms. More than 400 different bacterial species have already been identified in the intestinal tract.

First, in order to be effective, probiotics must contain bacteria which are resistant to stomach acids and bile salts. Secondly, the bacteria must have the capacity to compete successfully with the indigenous intestinal bacteria. So, either the bacteria must be protected by the use of encapsulation techniques, or new types of foods must be developed which offer increased protection for the bacteria. The key to the effectiveness of probiotic treatment is for the bacteria to be able to pass through the stomach and the small intestines reaching the large intestines with sufficient strength to colonize and flourish.

According to the American College of Gastroenterology, 95 million Americans suffer from digestive problems. Some 60 million have heartburn, 50 million have irritable bowel syndrome, and 20 million suffer from stomach ulcers.
Many, many new probiotic products have been launched in North America and Europe. But, we have a distinct advantage. Chocolate appears to be the ideal delivery system for probiotics. As shown in this chart dark chocolate has been shown to be far superior to milk as a delivery system for Probiotics
