And Active Cultures With L Acidophilus And B

These are live microorganisms, often bacteria, that are beneficial for health when consumed in adequate amounts. They are naturally found in some fermented foods and are also added to many foods, particularly dairy products. They are grown and harvested for use as food ingredients.

Active cultures are added to foods like yogurt, kefir, and some cheeses to aid in fermentation and to provide potential health benefits. They contribute to the tangy flavor and texture of fermented dairy products. They are also found in some dietary supplements.

Live and active cultures are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are often associated with improved gut health and digestion, though research is ongoing. International bodies like the WHO and EFSA have also reviewed probiotics and their health effects. While generally considered beneficial, individual responses can vary.
