Lamberts Acidophilus Extra 10 Billion Capsules – 60 Capsules

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a species of beneficial lactic acid bacteria that naturally inhabits the human digestive and urinary tracts. It is one of the most extensively studied probiotic species in clinical nutrition and is associated with a balanced gut microbiome, normal digestive comfort, and healthy immune function via the gut-associated immune tissue. Probiotic supplements replenish or augment the population of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can be depleted by antibiotics, illness, poor diet, stress, or travel.

CFU stands for colony-forming units — the standard measurement of live, viable bacteria in a probiotic preparation. A CFU represents a single viable bacterium capable of dividing and forming a colony. The 10 billion CFU in Acidophilus Extra 10 Billion means each capsule contains 10,000,000,000 live, viable Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria at the time stated (confirm whether this is at manufacture or at end of shelf life).

The 10 Billion formulation is most appropriate for those requiring higher-potency probiotic support — particularly post-antibiotic microbiome recovery, management of specific gut health challenges, or those with a robust probiotic supplementation goal. The 4 Billion formulation is well suited to everyday gut health maintenance in generally healthy adults, to those new to probiotic supplementation, and to those who find very high CFU counts initially cause bloating or flatulence as the gut flora adjusts.

Live bacterial cultures are sensitive to heat and moisture. Storing the product in the refrigerator after opening slows the natural decline in bacterial viability, helping to ensure that the CFU count at time of consumption is as close as possible to the stated quantity. Probiotic capsules stored at room temperature for extended periods may contain significantly fewer viable bacteria than the label claims.

Both. Starting probiotic supplementation at the same time as antibiotics (spaced at least 2 hours apart from each antibiotic dose) helps to maintain gut flora during the course. Continuing for two to four weeks after the antibiotic course ends helps to fully restore the microbiome. A higher-potency preparation such as the 10 Billion format is typically recommended for post-antibiotic recovery.

Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures are sometimes grown on a dairy medium during manufacture. Confirm whether the current product carries a dairy or milk allergen declaration from the product label before purchasing if you have a dairy allergy or intolerance.
