Swanson Vitamins Lactobacillus Acidophilus (100 or 250 capsules) is a supplement with lactic acid bacteria and contains 2 billion CFU Lactobacillus acidophilus per serving. The recommended dose is 2 capsules per day, taken with water before a meal. Packs of 100 and 250 capsules will last approximately 50 to 125 days at this dosage. The product is easy to use and does not need to be refrigerated.
CFU stands for "colony forming units" and is the international unit used to indicate how many viable bacteria a supplement contains at the time of production.
Lactobacillus acidophilus naturally occurs in fermented dairy products, such as certain types of yoghurt, buttermilk and kefir, where it is used as part of the fermentation process.
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium are two different genera of bacteria that are found in different places in nature and each have their own characteristics. Both genera are widely used in food supplements, sometimes separately and sometimes in combination with each other.
Bacterial strains can be processed in various ways to make them last longer. Some strains, including those in this product, are processed into a form that remains stable at room temperature, so refrigeration is not needed for shelf life.
Acid-resistant means that a bacterial strain has been processed in a way that allows it to withstand an acidic environment, such as that naturally present in the stomach, during transit through the digestive tract to the intestines.
