Acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus) is a friendly bacteria that helps maintain healthy intestinal flora and assist the body in digesting proteins.
If there is not adequate flora in the colon there can be problems. Typical colon bacteria is out of balance and many people experience gas, bloating, intestinal system toxicity, constipation, nutrient malabsorption, and candida overgrowth.

Overuse of anitbiotics, stress, hormoneal changes, frequent consumption of processed foods and depressed immunity may all be factors in unbalanced flora and acidophilus supplementation may be needed.

This probiotic should be refrigerated after opening.
