WHAT IS IT?

Culturelle™ with Lactobacillus GG is a patented probiotic that contains a special strain of Lactobacillus called Lactobacillus caseii sp rhamnosus. Each capsule contains 40 mg of Lactobacillus GG or a minimum of 20 billion live/active bacteria at time of manufacture for maximum potency.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Although Lactobacillus acidophilus is more famous, this strain was the result of a screening process to find a strain of Lactobacillus that has several advantages. 

• It survives stomach acid.

• It adheres to and colonizes the intestinal tract.

• It is stable in bile.

• It exhibits hardy growth.

• It produces lactic acid.

• Helpful with diarrhea caused by antibiotics, rotavirus and Clostridia dificile.
