PROVIDED BY NATURE Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a probiotic bacteria which occurs naturally in the gastrointestinal tract. Taking a lactobacillus acidophilus supplement improves the balance between the beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. This is important as an imbalance can lead to dysbiosis which can not only cause side effects like cramps and bloating, but can also cause inflammation and even affect your mood. PERFECTED BY SCIENCE For years, studies have shown that consuming probiotics which can help support the digestive system offers a range of health benefits. Emerging studies suggest that the health of the gut may also impact brain health including lowering the risk of - and alleviating the symptoms of - depression. Studies further suggest that they may improve sleep problems, reduce muscle and joint pain and aid concentration as well as improving symptoms of IBS and reducing bloating. Most recently, lactobacillus acidophilus has been suggested to have skin rejuvenating properties. PROVEN BY RESEARCH Emerging research suggests probiotics including lactobacillus acidophilus may help prevent and treat depression. Scientists have found a link between gut health and emotional health, and taking probiotics may also improve intestinal health. 19 Huang R, Wang K, Hu J.
