Solgar® Advanced Acidophilus Plus is a non-dairy probiotic containing two specially cultured strains, L. acidophilus (LA-5®) and B. lactis (BB-12®). Each capsule provides 500 million microorganisms (250 million of each probiotic strain). These patented strains guarantee the survival of microorganisms under stomach acid conditions, and have undergone various safety and efficacy studies. The digestive tract is home to the gut microbiota (trillions of bacteria) which performs various functions in the body. Consuming fermented foods, such as yogurt, tempeh, cheese, and sauerkraut, can help replenish these microorganisms. Our new patented packaging, made of 100% recyclable plastic and designed exclusively for our probiotics, allows for controlled moisture adsorption kinetics to protect the probiotic formulations from external humidity, mitigating the harmful effects of water activity on the product. This technologically advanced packaging incorporates an integral desiccant in the walls to ensure product stability, extend shelf life, and eliminate the need for a desiccant pad inside the container. All Solgar® advanced probiotics utilize a polysaccharide matrix technology that protects live bacteria from stomach acid that could otherwise destroy them. This matrix is ​​made of a specially formulated blend that provides protection and nourishment to the microorganisms and improves product stability, making refrigeration optional (though not required). Instructions for use For adults, take one (1) or two (2) capsules daily, preferably with meals. Swallow the capsules with water or another beverage.
