Four billion friendly bacteria per capsule
This is our original Acidophilus Extra product.In an independent study the product was shown to be one of the few probiotics that lives up to its label claim.

However, during times of stress, travel, illness, changes in the diet, and taking antibiotics, the unfriendly, pathogenic bacteria sometimes overwhelm the friendly bacteria. In these situations, practitioners frequently recommend the use of probiotics.
