Acidophilus With Pectin
Country Life
Overview
This product combines the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus with citrus pectin, a prebiotic fiber. While both ingredients have demonstrated benefits for gut health, the proprietary probiotic blend and lack of specific information on the included strains limits further assessment on the product's overall effectiveness. The inclusion of MAKTrek delivery system is intended to increase survivability of the probiotic strains. Still, overall efficacy is hard to quantify due to the proprietary nature of the probiotic blend.
