Total-Biotics® is formulated by the author of the book
“The Wonder of Probiotics” John R Taylor N.D.

Proteolytic bacteria such as clostridia, which are part of the normal intestinal flora, produce toxic substances including
phenols, ammonia and indols by digestion of proteins. These compounds are responsible for what Metchnikoff called
intestinal auto-intoxication, which, according to him, was the cause of the physical changes associated with old age.
It was already known at that time that fermentation with lactic acid bacteria inhibits the deterioration of milk because
of its low pH.

Metchnikoff's research had also noted that, in Europe, Bulgaria and the Russian steppes, some rural populations who
had consumed milk fermented with lactic acid bacteria lived relatively long lives. Based on these data Metchnikoff
proposed that consumption of fermented milk would seed the intestine with harmless lactic acid bacteria, which would
increase intestinal acidity and thus suppress the growth of proteolytic bacteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why does the Total-Biotics® label look so different?
As a member of NASC (national animal supplement counsel) we have updated our label to use the required AFFCO terminology. The Association of
American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a voluntary membership association of local, state and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the sale
and distribution of animal feeds and animal drug remedies. All ingredients in Total-Biotics® are AAFCO approved for safety and effectiveness. Beware of
probiotic products for pets using unapproved and possibly unsafe probiotics.
