What it is

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a type of beneficial bacteria naturally found in the human gut. It is often grown in labs using fermentation processes, typically with dairy-based media, to produce large quantities for use in foods and supplements.

Why it's used

L. acidophilus is added to foods as a probiotic to support digestive health. It is commonly found in fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir, as well as in some dietary supplements, juices, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Lactobacillus acidophilus is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is considered a live and active culture when added to foods like yogurt. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated probiotics, but they do not set specific ADIs for strains. Research suggests L. acidophilus may help with certain digestive issues, but evidence is mixed and more study is needed.

Allergen info

Lactobacillus acidophilus itself is not a major allergen. However, it is often cultured in media that may contain milk, making it unsuitable for those with severe milk allergies. It does not contain gluten.
