Natural Factors Acidophilus & Bifidus 5 Billion Active Cells is a three-strain capsule. Probiotics that temporarily modify gut flora.
What is Acidophilus & Bifidus?
The product takes its name from two well-known groups of gut bacteria. Each capsule holds a total culture of 5 billion CFU made up of specially cultured strains in a fixed ratio: Lactobacillus rhamnosus (HA-111) at 80%, or 4 billion CFU, with Lactobacillus acidophilus (HA-122) and Bifidobacterium bifidum (HA-132) at 10% each, or 0.5 billion CFU apiece. All three are whole-cell cultures, and each strain is identified by its own code.
