Probiotics are meant to supply bacterial flora to the alimentary tract. It is also good medicine for patients with bouts of constipation, diarrhea and the like.
Procter & Gamble says Align keeps alimentary flora in balance with a strain brand discovered in the '90s called Bifantis. The supplement has only been available online or from pharmacists, per P&G.
The company is promoting Align through a partnership with dietician Ashley Koff who appears on the web site www.aligngi.com and is central to a consumer content campaign that encourages people who have used the product to write about how it has helped them.
The company is dangling a chance at
a trip to the 36th Annual People's Choice Awards and After Party. The grand prize winner will also get a consult with Ashley Koff.--Karl Greenberg
