What is Super Lactobacillus Probiotic, 11 Billion CFU?
Super Lactobacillus Probiotic Formula is a probiotic blend that contains 11 billion Colony Forming Units (CFU) per serving (2 vegetarian capsules). The formula includes L. acidophilus (7 billion CFU), L. casei (2 billion CFU),L. helvetious (1 billion CFU), Bifidobacterium bifidium (1 billion CFU), and fructooligosaccharides ("FOS" for short), 40mg. This probiotic supplement may help support immune function, fight lactose-intolerance symptoms, flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease, and supports healthy digestion. It also helps to provide your body with resistance to food and other allergies.
Why Is Our Super Lactobacillus Probiotic, 11 Billion CFU Better?
We use naturally-derived strains appropriate for human use, that have not been genetically modified.
Our 11 Billion CFU Super Lactobacillus Probiotic Blend is guaranteed--at room temperature--through expiration. Many other products are labeled for bacterial colony count "at time of manufacturing". That phrase means that their product label and CFU-count are only accurate at the time the product is manufactured, and then the bacteria begin to die off (some rapidly). Who knows what the colony count is 3 or 6 months after manufacturing, or even how long it took from the time of manufacturing until the time of your purchase. Our 11 Billion CFU count is guaranteed through product expiration, so you know you are getting what you pay for.
Who Should Consider Super Lactobacillus Probiotic, 11 Billion CFU?
Probiotics may help with the following issues
- Improved immune function;
- Reduced lactose intolerance symptoms;
- Reduce gastrointestinal distress;
- Reduced instances of and severity of candida (yeast) related health issues;
- Improved digestion;
- Reduced incidences of traveler's diarrhea;
- Re-colonizing the intestine after antibiotic usage;
- Resistance to food and other allergies;

Background on the Ingredients in Super Lactobacillus™ Probiotic Formula:
There is "good" bacteria and "bad" bacteria. Probiotics are good bacteria that positively improve the microflora balance in your digestive system. This may lead to improved digestion and an increased resistance to the growth of harmful bacteria. This also may lead to improved immunity and resistance to certain infections.
Immune System Boost:
"Good" bacteria, like the bacteria in Super Lactobacillus™, create natural acid compounds in the intestine (lactic acid, acetic acid, etc.) that create an environment in which many harmful bacteria can not survive. This may be where the primary immunity function boost comes from probiotics. Additionally, probiotics produce bacteriocins which are lethal protein or lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes that destroy other bad bacteria strains.
Lactose Intolerance:
Studies have shown that using probiotics may help with the symptoms associated with lactose intolerance, namely bloating and discomfort. This is done by the lactobacillus producing lactase. Milk-sugar needs to be digested with lactase and lactose intolerant people typically do not produce it, or product it in adequate amounts.
Gastrointestinal Distress:
Gastrointestinal distress is often caused by harmful intestinal microflora. Use of probiotics has been shown to decrease the intestinal symptoms associated with these maladies by reducing or eliminating the harmful bacterias which can cause these symptoms.
Candida Related Health Issues:
Probiotics may be an helpful for urinary tract/vaginal infections. The urinary tract and vaginal area are occupied by literally billions of bacteria cells of many different types and varieties. It is an environment that is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this includes harmful bacteria. In high quantity, these harmful bacteria can lead to infections, particularly the common “yeast infections.” As they do in the digestive tract, probiotics may also have a capacity to reduce harmful bacteria.
Natural, Healthy Digestion and Diarrhea Treatment:
Using probiotics may decrease the likelihood of having pathogenic Diarrhea as well as speed the recovery after Diarrhea. Pathogenic Diarrhea is the diarrhea most often associated with bad water or undercooked foods. Many a traveler to Mexico has incurred this form of Montezuma’s Revenge in the form of gastrointestinal distress and severe diarrhea. Probiotic’s help to fight those bad bacteria. They also can help with diarrhea caused by antibiotics by replacing the good bacteria needed for healthy digestion. Furthermore, once a person has suffered from diarrhea it is often difficult to get healthy digestion back in gear. Probiotics can speed that process of getting back on track with normal digestion.
Resistance to Food and Other Allergies:
Several studies have shown that probiotics may reduce a person’s susceptibility or severity of reaction to food allergies. Additionally, an overall reduction in skin and respiratory allergic reactions (including rhinitis) have been observed in people who use probiotics. This may indicate that not only do probiotics help stamp out digestive bacteria that an allergic person’s body has difficult processing through a bacterial mechanism, but also boosts the immunity and anti-inflammatory response to allergens.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Probiotics:
Studies are very preliminary, but indicate that use of probiotics may help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Specifically, malabsorption of nutrients may be one of the key causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the use of probiotics has helped sufferers with this issue as well as to increase their overall immunity.
Canker Sores:
We don’t know what causes canker sores, although many feel they are stress related. However, probiotics may help reduce the incidence of canker sores, specifically lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bulgaris. Some studies indicate that the probiotics help, others indicate that they do not. Obviously, more studies are needed to clarify the impact of probiotics on canker sores.
