Acidophilus (L. Acidophilus)
Product Options
Overview
If you ever use ANTIbiotics, you NEED PRObiotics.
After antibiotics wipe out both good and bad gut bacteria, you should always replenish the good ones.
Probiotics are the good, health-promoting bacteria that help nourish and strengthen the gut microbiome and its resident microflora. These friendly bacteria help balance out other microbes in the intestinal tract, and they support the immune system.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a popular, friendly probiotic known for its gut health benefits.
And, our Delayed-Release VegCaps protect probiotics against harsh stomach acid to deliver millions of friendly bacteria to targeted areas, bolstering your microbiome health!
This mild formula is ideal for those who desire a way to introduce beneficial probiotics to the body.
L. Acidophilus was Nature’s Sunshine’s first probiotic supplement, and it's been popular for nearly three decades!
Friendly bacteria help keep other microbes in the body in check. Unfortunately, all strains of helpful bacteria are often destroyed by antibiotics. Fortunately, supplementation can reintroduce good bacteria, helping to create an optimal balance.
Regulate your intestinal tract with probiotic L. Acidophilus.
Each capsule contains a minimum of 100 million organisms, freeze-dried to maintain viability.
Plus, our L. Acidophilus is certified non-GMO and vegan!
Probiotics like L. Acidophilus are well absorbed in the diet and can be taken between meals to maximize absorption.
If you’re ready to improve your overall health, fix any digestion issues you may be facing, and promote a better immune system, we recommend adding L. Acidophilus to your daily diet!

How It Works
The healthy human intestinal tract contains billions of flora that live in a delicate balance with each other and in symbiosis with us.
We provide them with a home, and in turn they break down our food into easily absorbed nutrients. They also aid digestion in a variety of ways and promote immunity.
Factors such as stress, environmental conditions or the use of certain substances can affect their vitality.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that perform essential functions in the body, including supporting digestive and intestinal health, circulatory health and immune function.
Probiotics aid healthy digestion, promote nutrient absorption, and encourage normal bowel elimination.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
Acidophilus is a strain of Lactobacillus, a symbiotic, homo-fermentative, lactic acid producing microorganism—a popular, friendly strain.
L. acidophilus is probably best-known for being an ingredient in many dairy products. In fact, the Lactobacillus genus is widely used in making cheese and yogurt. It creates bacteriocins, which help prevent food spoilage.
L. acidophilus helps regulate the intestinal tract and supports a healthy digestive system. This means your food is broken down more effectively, all the nutrients are distributed to the proper areas of your body, and waste is eliminated through regular, healthy bowel movements.
L. acidophilus also promotes a healthy immune system to keep your body running in tip-top shape. A study published in Postgraduate Medicine found that women who took a daily probiotic had higher levels of T-cells. T-cells are special white blood cells that support the immune system.
Plus, L. acidophilus produces certain vitamins and lactase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down the milk sugar in dairy products.
While the discovery and naming of individual probiotic strains is fairly new, the concept of eating fermented food goes WAY back. By about 500 A.D., Koreans had found a new technique to preserve food for winter: burying jars of cabbage, cucumber or radishes mixed with strong spices. Known as kimchi, this fermented food is one of many that offers health benefits for the immune system.
Fermented foods have grown in popularity. But for some of us, capsules are much easier to swallow than kimchi, sauerkraut and fermented drinks.
