What Is Acidophilus


What is acidophilus?

The Science

Family: Lactobacillaceae

Genus: Lactobacillus

Species: L. acidophilus

Obligately homofermentative (which means it ferments sugar to lactic acid)

Grows well in acidic environment (4.5 or lower, and best at 30 degrees Celsius.

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

L acidophilus 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.


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
