Acidophilus Extra

Lamberts Lactobacillus acidophilus, commonly known as acidophilus, is a probiotic bacterium naturally present in the human gut and found in various fermented foods and supplements. It offers several health benefits, particularly concerning digestive and immune health.

Uses and Benefits:

1. **Digestive Health:**
   • Alleviation of Diarrhea: Acidophilus is often used to prevent or treat diarrhea, especially when it’s associated with antibiotic use. Antibiotics can disrupt the natural balance of gut bacteria, and acidophilus helps restore this balance.
   • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Some studies suggest that acidophilus may help manage IBS symptoms, including bloating and abdominal discomfort.
2. **Vaginal Health:**
   • Bacterial Vaginosis and Yeast Infections:  Acidophilus may help prevent and treat vaginal infections by maintaining the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina.
3. **Immune System Support:**
   • Enhancing Immunity:  Regular intake of acidophilus can boost the immune system, potentially reducing the risk of infections like the common cold.
4. **Lactose Intolerance:**
   • Improved Digestion:  Acidophilus aids in the digestion of lactose, which can be beneficial for individuals with lactose intolerance.
5. Suitable for people aged 16 and over.
   Suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
