Q: Can you recommend an all round probiotic?
A: I like Acidophilus Ultra Plus made by New Roots Herbal. The capsule is protected from the harsh acid in the stomach by a special “PH5D” enteric coating so the live organisms may survive the stomach acid and reach the intestine. It contains 10 different species of good bacteria that adapt to various temperatures, pH, and surface conditions of the different parts of the intestinal tract. That means the whole gastro-intestinal tract will get benefits. It is refrigerated from the pre-manufacturing stage right up to the time of sale so there is no loss of potency.
