Acidophilus And Bifidus
A Match made In Heaven
Acidophilus and Bifidus is a common name given to probiotic supplements that contain both Lactobacillus acidophilus and one of the Bifidobacterium strains of good bacteria.
You can read more about all the health benefits of both Acidophilus and Bifidobacterium here.
There are several readily available supplements that contain these two. Canadians and UK residents see bottom of page.
The Now brand of Acidophilus and Bifidus
contains a guaranteed 8 billion bacteria through to expiration date (10 billion at time of manufacturer.)
This is made up of 4 billion L acidophilus, 3.2 billion B lactis and 0.8 B longum. It is very cheap - not sure if that is good or bad! Also contains potato starch, gelatin capsule, silica and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). If you're very sensitive to milk protein be aware that this product may contain trace amounts of casein.
It does NOT contain sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, egg, shellfish or preservatives.
Nature's Bounty Chewable ACIDOPHILUS with Bifidus
is milk free and contains 1 billion cfu bacteria.
This product contains 0.99 billion cfu from acidophilus and 0.01 billion cfu from what they call Lactobacillus Bifidus which is an outdated term for species from the Bifidobacterium family. So with this one you get much more L acidophilus than Bifidobacterium. This may or may not be important to you.
Anyway, the consumers over at Buzzillions mostly like this supplement (when I last checked 12 said it was effective and 2 said it didn't work.)
And although the manufacturers below do not call their product by that name, they do both contain these two bacteria.
Wakunaga of America Company - Kyo-Dophilus
