Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a lactic acid producing gut bacterium from a group often linked to supportive gut functions. It is especially known for helping maintain an acidic gut environment, which can make it harder for less desirable bacteria to become too dominant. Lactobacillus acidophilus is often associated with gut comfort, regular stool patterns, and balance between different bacteria in the intestinal environment. Lower levels may suggest reduced lactic acid producing activity, which may be seen together with sensitive digestion, gas, bloating, loose stools, or irregular stool patterns. Higher levels may reflect increased lactic acid fermentation, which may be seen together with gas, bloating, softer stools, or temporary changes in digestion.
