What is Acidophilus/Acidophilus Bifidus/Lactobacillus Acidophilus/Primadophilus?
Acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus acidophilus
(L. acidophilus) are probiotics, which are “friendly” bacteria inhabiting the
body, providing a wealth of health benefits. Acidophilus is often combined with
bifidobacteria, the combination of which is commonly referred to as Acidophilus
bifidus. Lactobacillus acidophilus, or L. acidophilus, is the probiotic commonly
found in dairy products such as yogurt. The primadophilus formula we carry
contains Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Health Benefits
These closely-related probiotics can help with a wide
range of conditions, including digestive disorders such as irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS), flatulence, diarrhea, Candida overgrowth, vaginal yeast
infections, urinary tract infections, and bad breath. Additionally, acidophilus
may help boost immunity by encouraging healthy bacteria growth while suppressing
invading pathogens. Research shows that acidophilus may help protect the body
from carcinogens.
When prescribed antibiotic therapy, it may be helpful to consume probiotics
containing acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and/or L. acidophilus to repopulate the
digestive tract with healthy bacteria, easing unwanted side effects like
diarrhea or yeast infection. Consult your physician.
Usage Indications
Dosages vary based upon reason for use; consult your
physician for guidance. Be sure that the probiotic supplements you purchase
contain live “active” cultures, and that there are 1-2 billion organisms per
capsule if taking pill form. Check the expiration date, and store all probiotics
in the refrigerator, as freezing or hot temperatures may harm the live cultures.
Probiotics are commonly available in powder, liquid, tablet and capsule form.
Recommended Dosages for Acidophilus Bad breath: take 2 capsules twice daily between meals Candida overgrowth: take capsules or powder containing 1-2 billion live
organisms twice daily Diarrhea: take 2 capsules three times daily with meals Flatulence:take 1-2 capsules containing 1+billion organisms twice daily
between meals IBS: take 2 capsules containing 3+billion live organisms daily with meals
Surgery recovery: (helpful if prescribed an antibiotic) take capsules or
powder containing 1-2 billion live organisms twice daily for no more than 2
weeks after surgery Urinary tract infection:take 1 capsule four times daily Vaginal yeast infection: take 1 capsule containing 3-6 billion live
organisms orally twice per day
Side effects: Although helpful for alleviating flatulence, taking
acidophilus may cause excess gas for the first few days while the body adjusts
to the introduction of new bacteria. Symptoms should improve after a few days.
Those taking insulin, a prebiotic, should consult a physician before taking
any probiotic, as a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) may result.
Consult your doctor if you are taking sulfasalazine.
Indications: Consult your physician for guidance when taking a
probiotic supplement. If using acidophilus in combination with antibiotic
therapy, take the probiotic as far between antibiotic doses as possible.
