Brand: Nature's Sunshine NutriBiome
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic bacterium that colonizes the intestinal lining. At a cellular level, it adheres to epithelial cells, creating a protective barrier against pathogens. It produces lactic acid, lowering gut pH to inhibit harmful bacterial growth. This strain also modulates the immune system by interacting with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), enhancing mucosal immunity and supporting nutrient absorption for overall digestive homeostasis.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a balanced gut microbiome
- Promotes healthy digestion and nutrient absorption
- Helps maintain immune system function
- May reduce occasional bloating and gas
Usage & Safety
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal for optimal survival through stomach acid. Store in a cool, dry place; refrigeration may extend potency. Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised, or taking antibiotics to avoid potential interactions.
