Probiotic strain that supports digestive and immune health

We rank Lactobacillus Acidophilus by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a probiotic, which is a friendly type of bacteria that lives naturally in your gut and mouth. It is a specific strain of bacteria that helps maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the body.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support digestive health and strengthen the immune system. By helping the gut maintain a healthy environment, it can assist the body in breaking down food and defending against harmful bacteria.

How it's made

To create the supplement, the bacteria are grown in large industrial tanks filled with a nutrient-rich liquid called a broth. Once the bacteria have multiplied to the required amount, they are separated from the liquid and dried using a process called freeze-drying, which preserves the live bacteria in a powder form for capsules or sachets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally affordable because the bacteria are easy to grow in large quantities and there are many different manufacturers producing it globally. This high level of competition and simple production process keeps the cost low for the consumer.
