Acidophilus with Bifidus & FOS, 6 billion active cells, 180 capsules

Feature summary

This probiotic supplement is a combination of friendly lactic acid bacteria that colonize the intestinal tract for better digestive health.

Acidophilus produces lactic acid that keeps a proper pH balance in the small intestine, slowing the growth of yeast. Studies have shown that L. acidophilus is effective in reducing lactose intolerance, inhibiting undesirable organisms in the intestine, improving cholesterol levels and controlling diarrhea.

L. rhamnosus is probably the most important probiotic strain for health from the mouth to the small intestine. It protects by coating the mucus, preventing toxins from reaching the blood, making it very effective at inhibiting disease-causing pathogens. It even results in better smelling breath.

B.bifidus helps maintain health of the large intestine in both children and adults, promoting regular bowel movements, giving protection from yeast and bacterial pathogens such as E.coli, Clostridium and Shigella infections.

FOS stands for fructooligosaccharides, natural sugars that feed the live bacteria to keep them multiplying in the digestive tract to extend their health benefits.
