Lactobacillus Acidophilus

Acidophilus/Acidophilus Bifidus/Lactobacillus Acidophilus/Primadophilus: Information

Acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) are probiotics, which are "friendly" bacteria inhabiting the body, providing a wealth of health benefits. Acidophilus is often combined with bifidobacteria, the combination of which is commonly referred to as Acidophilus bifidus. Lactobacillus acidophilus, or L. acidophilus, is the probiotic commonly found in dairy products such as yogurt. The primadophilus formula we carry contains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

Health Benefits of Probiotics

These closely-related probiotics can help with a wide range of conditions, including digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), flatulence, diarrhea, Candida overgrowth, vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and bad breath. Additionally, acidophilus may help boost immunity by encouraging healthy bacteria growth while suppressing invading pathogens. Research shows that acidophilus may help protect the body from carcinogens.

When prescribed antibiotic therapy, it may be helpful to consume probiotics containing acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and/or L. acidophilus to repopulate the digestive tract with healthy bacteria, easing unwanted side effects like diarrhea or yeast infection. Consult your physician.

Using Probiotics

Dosages vary based upon reason for use; consult your physician for guidance. Be sure that the probiotic supplements you purchase contain live active cultures, and that there are 1-2 billion organisms per capsule if taking pill form. Check the expiration date, and store all probiotics in the refrigerator, as freezing or hot temperatures may harm the live cultures. Probiotics are commonly available in powder, liquid, tablet and capsule form.
