Lamberts Acidophilus Extra 4 contains 4 billion beneficial bacteria per capsule (at the time of manufacture), particularly beneficial for the elderly and people taking antibiotics.
The bacteria in Acidophilus Extra 4 are freeze dried with an acid stable polysaccharide matrix which surrounds the bacteria, helping to protect them from the highly acidic conditions they encounter in the stomach. This product is stored in refrigerated conditions until despatch to ensure maximum potency. The special pot also contains an inbuilt desiccant, as viability of probiotics is largely determined by the moisture content of the atmosphere surrounding the capsules
