Lactobacillus Acidophilus Probiotic: The Essential Strain for Gut Flora Balance

Product Overview

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a fundamental and predominant probiotic strain, naturally residing in the human intestines and crucial for maintaining a healthy microbial equilibrium. As a leading producer of high-quality probiotics, we offer pure and potent Lactobacillus acidophilus strains, essential for formulating effective dietary supplements. Renowned for its ability to produce lactic acid and support a balanced gut environment, this strain is a cornerstone of digestive and overall wellness. We provide this vital probiotic in three guaranteed potencies: 100 billion, 150 billion, and 200 billion CFU to meet your precise formulation needs.

Technical Advantages

Our Lactobacillus acidophilus is manufactured with precision, ensuring it delivers consistent quality and performance:

Primary Gut Resident: As a key native species in the small intestine, it is adept at colonizing and exerting its benefits where it is most needed.

Lactic Acid Production: Effectively produces lactic acid, helping to maintain an optimal pH level in the gut that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.

Guaranteed Potency & Purity: Produced in our state-of-the-art GMP facility, each batch is rigorously tested to ensure CFU count and the absence of contaminants.

Targeted Potency Options: With 100B, 150B, and 200B CFU options, you can tailor your products for maintenance, support, or high-potency formulations.

Excellent Blend Compatibility: Works synergistically with other probiotic strains, such as Bifidobacteria, in multi-strain formulas to provide comprehensive gut support.

Application Scenarios

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a versatile ingredient with a wide range of established applications:

Digestive Health Supplements: The core strain in capsules, tablets, and powders aimed at promoting overall digestive harmony and nutrient absorption.

Lactose Digestion Support: Ideal for formulas designed to help individuals manage the discomfort associated with lactose intolerance.

Dairy-Based Functional Foods: Commonly used in yogurts, kefir, and fermented dairy drinks to enhance their natural probiotic content.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the primary role of Lactobacillus acidophilus in the gut?

L. acidophilus primarily helps maintain a healthy balance of gut flora by producing lactic acid, which creates an acidic environment unfavorable for harmful bacteria. It also supports nutrient digestion and absorption.

2. How can L. acidophilus help with lactose intolerance?

This strain produces the enzyme lactase, which helps break down lactose (the sugar found in milk), potentially reducing symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhea in lactose-intolerant individuals.

3. What is the benefit of your 150B CFU option?

The 150 billion CFU option provides a perfect middle-ground for formulators seeking a potency higher than standard 100B but more cost-effective than 200B, allowing for more precise product tiering.

4. Is your L. acidophilus strain dairy-based?

While L. acidophilus is commonly associated with dairy, our production process can yield a dairy-free final product. Please specify your requirement, and we can provide the appropriate batch.

5. Can this probiotic be taken with antibiotics?

Yes, taking L. acidophilus during and after a course of antibiotics may help restore the beneficial gut bacteria that are depleted by the medication. It is recommended to take the probiotic a few hours apart from the antibiotic.

6. What is the shelf life and storage recommendation for your bulk powder?

The standard shelf life is 24 months. For optimal stability, we recommend storage in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, ideally under refrigerated conditions.

7. How does L. acidophilus differ from L. rhamnosus?

While both are beneficial, L. acidophilus is a primary resident of the small intestine and key for lactose digestion, while L. rhamnosus is renowned for its strong adhesion and immune-specific benefits. They are often used together for a broader spectrum of action.

8. Is your strain non-GMO and allergen-free?

Yes, our Lactobacillus acidophilus is non-GMO project verified. We can provide batches that are free from major allergens like gluten, soy, and dairy upon request.

9. Do you provide documentation for product labeling?

Yes, we supply all necessary documentation for our B2B partners, including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for potency and purity, which are essential for your product labeling and regulatory compliance.

10. Can I use your L. acidophilus in a multi-strain blend?

Absolutely. It is one of the most commonly used strains in multi-probiotic blends due to its complementary nature and well-researched profile. We offer support in developing effective synergistic formulations.
