Lactobacillus acidophilus 101

Lactobacillus acidophilus - are you confused about the difference between lactobacillus and acidophilus or acidophilus and probiotics? Relax! You'll find the answer to those questions as well as many others here.

Lactobacillus is the name of a large family of lactic acid producing bacteria and acidophilus is one of the most important members of that family.

Probiotics is the name given to members of a group of bacteria that have been proven to play a beneficial role in human health. Many members of the Lactobacillus family are probiotic including some strains of L acidophilus.

Acidophilus Pills

Good strains that have been in medical trials and which can be found in some acidophilus supplements are DDS-1, 145, LA 02, LAFTI L10, LA-5, L-92, NCFM (Howaru Dophilus) (found in my favorite yogurt), NAS (has wonderful consumer reviews), OLL2769, NCK56, 27L, LB (LaLB), CL1285.

One other choice is the always popular L acidophilus and Bifidus supplements. These contain two of the most useful and health promoting probiotics.

A question that troubles some people. It's all very well being told it will do you good - but isn't it a bacteria? What is acidophilus will set you straight.

Acidophilus dangers and side effects are almost always mild and of little consequence. The worst problem that a few people strike is wind - more of a problem for others than yourself! You can learn about them in more detail at acidophilus side effects.

L acidophilus is sometimes incorrectely written as acidophilis, acidopholus, acidophillus or acidopholis - all wrong, I'm afraid! Remember, there are no double consonants and it has 2 "eyes" (i) - that's how I remember the spelling.
