What Is Acidophilus


What is acidophilus?

The Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria belongs to the group of friendly lactic acid bacteria from which many probiotics come.

This good bacteria often partners with other probiotics to the benefit of your health. You'll find it in many supplements.

And even when a particular strain is not considered a probiotic acidophilus it will still be doing good things for your health - that's the way lactic acid bacteria are.

They can stick to other cells and prevent disease causing bacteria from being able to get established. Well known for their ability to adhere to vaginal and urinary tract cells as well as others.

The health benefits of acidophilus include antimicrobial effect, immune modulating and enhancement, as well as possibly fighting cancer.

What foods is L acidophilus in?

Yogurt (but check what it says on the container because fermented milk products are made with other lactic acid bacteria too - acidophilus is not always present.) EasiYo Yogurt contains a powerful strain of probiotic acidophilus and this is how I chose to take my acidophilus.

Miso (fermented soy paste)

Tempeh

Kefir
