More Info

Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®L. acidophilus NCFM®, which stands for the research laboratory it was first discovered at (“North Carolina Food Microbiology” lab), is a patented beneficial lactic acid bacteria strain often used to support lactose intolerance by promoting the digestion of simple sugars and other tough-to-digest nutrients.

This strain has been shown in numerous studies to help relieve gastrointestinal discomfort by supporting a healthy balance of “friendly” intestinal microbiota. Further research suggests that L. acidophilus NCFM® may activate endocannabinoid and μ-opioid receptors in epithelial cells. These receptors work to modulate pain signals in targeted tissues. L. acidophilus NCFM® is also necessary for helping the body synthesize vitamin B9 (folate) and vitamin B12, which are key for healthy nervous system function.

Why should I start slow when taking a probiotic? 

Killing off harmful bacteria in your gut is one of the benefits of probiotics. You may not feel well when you first start taking probiotics because, as it dies, the harmful bacteria will release toxins in your body. This is known as a "die off reaction" or Herxheimer Reaction. Common symptoms of die off are diarrhea, bloating, and headache. As your body is working to flush out the dead bacteria and toxins, it can feel as if your symptoms are temporarily getting worse, which can be alarming, but it does get better! Symptoms go away as the toxins are flushed out and as you build up your healthy gut bacteria. We recommend starting slow when first taking probiotics to minimize die off symptoms.

Acid Reflux Go To Response

Thanks to Dishing Up Nutrition podcast, I started taking this acidophilus nightly back in 2015. Doing so ended my bout with painful reflux back then. I’ve recently had a flare-up and started taking it again. It helps so much! Back in 2015 I was told to take Omeprazole which I didn’t want to do and didn’t have to after taking acidophilus. This will continue to be my regimen.

Acid reflux

I take acid reflux medication daily but at times or long periods of time I have it at night. I take 2 capsules at night before bed and it takes care of any acid. Sometimes I need to take a couple of tums but very very rare. This stuff works! You can even use it during the day. I always have a bottle in hand
