L. Acidophilus: Foundational Small Intestine Support*
L. Acidophilus is a specialized, single-strain probiotic featuring one of the most important resident microorganisms in the small intestine. This hardy probiotic can implant itself on the intestinal wall, where it produces beneficial compounds that help maintain a healthy microbial balance. Provided in a base of purified plant cellulose, this clean formula is suitable for individuals adhering to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ (SCD) who wish to support their intestinal health.*
How It Works: Creating a Healthy Gut Environment
This formula delivers a potent 3 billion CFU dose of a well-researched probiotic strain known for its resilience and its ability to create a favorable gut environment.
Inhibiting Undesirable Microorganisms
Once established in the gut, L. acidophilus produces lactic and acetic acids, which help to lower the pH of the intestinal contents. It also produces other natural substances like lactocidin and acidophilin. This combination helps to inhibit the colonization and overgrowth of undesirable bacteria and yeast.*
Aiding Digestion and Absorption
In addition to its balancing properties, L. acidophilus can also aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. It produces lactase enzymes, which help with the digestion of dairy, and generally works to stabilize bowel function, making it a cornerstone for foundational gut health.*
