Meet Acidophilus

Hi there. My full name is Lactobacillus Acidophilus, but my friends call me Acidophilus. And I’m really nice. I’m the most commonly used friendly bacteria that you’ll find! My family is part of a large group of good bacteria that inhabit your gut, mouth and for females, your vagina.

But have no fear! I fight off the bad guys by passing through the harsh gastric acid in your tummy. It’s a tough job surviving the rough territory of the gastrointestinal tract, but scientific tests prove that I can make the trek! I maintain a healthy intestinal flora by helping to prevent an overload of bad bacteria in your belly. With me, you’ll maintain a balanced pH, which will promote the absorption of minerals like calcium and provide an unfavorable environment for yeasts like candida albicans. I also help to produce important vitamins like Vitamin K and Vitamin B12 as well several digestive enzymes like lipase, protease and lactase. Mainly, you can find me roaming around in your small intestine. I’ve been told that I help produce natural antibiotics (lactocidin and acidophilin) to help fight off the bad bacteria in your belly.

Just so you know… I’ve been helping people over the past 40 years, with a few of us soldiers found mainly in fermented foods like yogurt. But now if you want an army of us… take Healthy Delights™ ProBiotic Bites. I’m healthy and I taste great!
