NOW Foods 8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus Probiotic - 60 Veg Capsules
About NOW Foods 8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus Probiotic - 60 Veg Capsules
NOW Foods 8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus is a daily probiotic supplement formulated to support healthy intestinal flora and a positive balance of beneficial microorganisms within the digestive tract.
Each vegetarian capsule provides a combined potency of 8 billion colony-forming units, or CFU, from three carefully identified probiotic strains:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14
- Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04
- Bifidobacterium longum Bl-05
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a prominent species of beneficial bacteria commonly associated with the intestinal environment. It complements the two included Bifidobacterium strains to provide broad daily probiotic support.
Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium longum are members of the Bifidobacterium group, one of the major groups of resident bacteria normally found within the human intestinal tract.
NOW Foods formulates this product to provide 8 billion viable CFU through the printed Best By date when it is stored according to the label instructions.
The included strains have been identity-verified using DNA-fingerprinting technology. This testing helps confirm that the bacterial strains in the product correspond to those declared on its label.
The capsule contains 68mg of the combined probiotic-bacteria blend. The CFU figure measures the quantity of viable probiotic organisms rather than the physical weight of the blend.
The manufacturer recommends taking one capsule one to two times daily, preferably between meals or on an empty stomach.
The 60-capsule bottle provides approximately a 30- to 60-day supply, depending on whether one or two capsules are taken daily.
This formula uses a plant-based hypromellose capsule and is suitable for vegetarian and vegan customers. It is also Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher, dairy free, soy free and gluten free.
This product does not contain a separate prebiotic ingredient. Customers seeking a probiotic-and-prebiotic combination should use a separately formulated product.
