Lactobacillus GG (Culturelle)
by CAG Functional Foods Did you know . . . that billions of probiotic (health-promoting) "good" bacteria, also called "flora", populate your intestinal tract? Yes, there is such a thing as good bacteria . . . These friendly bacteria form a protective barrier to keep "bad" bacteria out, maintaining a healthy intestinal tract. If you are . . . under stress, taking antibiotics, travelling or simply want to promote your health, taking Culturelle daily will maintain the health-promoting "good" bacteria in you intestinal tract.
