Florajen Acidophilus works by:

• Introducing good bacteria into the digestive tract to balance the natural flora
  
  
• Helping fight harmful bacteria and yeast that cause infections or digestive problems
  
  
• Supporting digestion and nutrient absorption
  
  
• Strengthening the immune system by promoting healthy bacterial growth
  
  

When the balance of bacteria is disrupted, such as after antibiotic use, Florajen Acidophilus helps restore it, reducing digestive discomfort and preventing infections.
