Our unique acidophilus strain helps to promote a healthy gastrointestinal
system and maintain an essential balance of intestinal flora, to maintain
good digestion and improve the absorption of nutrients from food.
AQ UASOURCE ACID O P H I LU S
Superior probiotic with Lithothamnion red algae and AquaSource
organic algae Superfood* to provide a wide range of nutrients,
including antioxidants, betacarotene and chlorophyll.
Supports gut health — changes in bowel
microbial balance may occur as a result
of diet, illness, certain treatments, and
poor bowel health. Though the resident
intestinal microflora acquired at birth is
usually somewhat permanent in creating a
defence against undesirable bacteria, when
homeostasis is disrupted, gastrointestinal
health may be negatively affected. Regular
use of probiotics such as AquaSource
Acidophilus, helps support gut health by
contributing to the maintenance of good
bacteria in the intestine.
Promotes general instestinal health —
AquaSource Acidophilus helps to promote
general intestinal health by introducing
desirable bacteria into the gut that can be
sustained with regular use.
When taken as a daily supplement,
AquaSource Acidophilus naturally provides
calcium, Vitamins C, B12, B5 and iron
while helping to maintain already healthy
cholesterol levels.

Our acidophilus also produces more lactic
acid and betagalactosidase than
comparable strains of L. acidophilus and
betagalactosidase. Since people with
lactose intolerance lack sufficient levels
of this enzyme, it can be a helpful way to
augment lactase deficiency.
Probiotics are healthy bacteria that have
long been used to supplement the natural
bacteria needed to promote proper
digestion.
One strain that has proven to have a
much better ability to colonise the gut for
sustained periods with regular use and
provide more essential health benefits,
was discovered by Dr. Khem Shahani, a
professor of food science at the University
of Nebraska. This strain of Lactobacillus
acidophilus, known as DDS®-1, has been
shown to survive stomach acidity, resist bile
salts, and grow well in the gut. This is the
strain used in AquaSource Acidophilus.
