Acidophilus Plus Probiotic Acidophilus With Pectin
Puritan's Pride
Overview
Puritan's Pride Acidophilus Plus Probiotic combines several common probiotic strains with citrus pectin. While probiotics are generally recognized for supporting gut health, the use of a proprietary blend makes it difficult to determine the individual dosages of each strain, and the overall CFU count per capsule (3 billion) may be lower than that found in other probiotic supplements. The addition of citrus pectin may provide additional benefits. However, more robust clinical trials are needed to quantify these effects accurately.
The Good
Contains multiple strains of probiotics to support gut health.
Includes Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Lactobacillus Salivarius, and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus.
Citrus pectin may provide additional prebiotic benefits to nourish gut bacteria.
The Bad

Is it for you?
