Acidophilus & Friendly Bacteria
Our bodies are full of bad and good bacteria, including microbiotics. Microbiotics are living organisms found in the likes of yoghurts and fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut. They're known as good or friendly bacteria because they help fight the harmful bacteria that might find their way into your gut.
Our extensive range of acidophilus and microbiotic supplements work hard to help support the growth and maintenance of stomach-acid-resistant friendly bacteria, allowing them to digest nutrients and fight infections in the gut.
Microbiotic supplements such as acidophilus can help support your digestive health, providing an additional source of the friendly bacteria naturally found within your digestive system.
What are microbiotics good for?
Microbiotics are a form of good bacteria which live in the gut and help your body digest food, fight off bad bacteria to prevent sickness and create vitamins.
What is acidophilus?
One of two common bacterial cultures that benefit our health, lactobacillus acidophilus, can be found in fermented foods, yoghurts, and microbiotic supplements, which are also naturally occurring in the human gut.
Why is gut health important?
A healthy gut helps to maintain overall good health as a healthy gut is filled with friendly bacteria and immune cells. Your gut also communicates with the brain via a system of nerves and hormones, helping to maintain overall health.
How can I up my intake of acidophilus?
Acidophilus is naturally found in both yoghurts and cheeses to give them a sour taste and fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut and miso. However, if you feel like you’re not getting enough acidophilus intake through your diet, you can add a daily supplement to your routine.
