These bacteria are one of the most common probiotics and can be found in yogurt and other fermented foods. They produce the enzyme lactase, which breaks down lactose into lactic acid, which in turn inhibits the growth of undesirable bacteria in the gut. Lactobacillus acidophilus is known to have a lot of beneficial effects on the human body. Some of these benefits include:

• It can lower the cholesterol level in our bodies.1,2 Excess cholesterol, especially the ‘LDL’ type, is known to increase the risk of heart disease.
• It can be used to treat or prevent diarrhea. A particular research suggests it may be used to prevent diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile in adults and children.3 Another research, which evaluated up to 34 already conducted studies that probed the effect of probiotic strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus in fighting diarrhea, found probiotics to significantly reduce anti   biotic-associated diarrhea by 52%, reduce the risk of traveler’s diarrhea by 8%, and reduce the associated risk of acute diarrhea among children by 57%.4
• There’s also significant evidence that Lactobacillus acidophilus can treat and prevent vaginal infections. Naturally, the lactobacillus is the most common type of bacteria in the human vagina. Its presence inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, due to the lactic acid producing property it exhibits.

Research published in 2010 by Wang Ya et al., found short term treatment with probiotics containing Lactobacillus acidophilus to prevent and reduce the occurrence of Bacterial vaginosis in women with a history of recurrent infection.  Bacterial vaginosis occurs when there’s an imbalance in the number of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the vagina.5

Another research found treatment with probiotics containing L. acidophilus to be effective in fighting vaginal Candida albicans (yeast infection), with an upper side of preventing elapse of the infection.6

• There’s some evidence that acidophilus may be quite helpful in relieving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a common disorder of the large intestine characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. Research published by Hoveyda et al. reviewed the use of probiotics in the treatment of IBS, where they found it to interestingly relieve some of the symptoms of this gastrointestinal disorder. 7 Some other studies found IBS treatment with probiotics containing L. acidophilus to reduce abdominal pain and bloating. 8,9

Just like the L. acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis also produces lactic acid, but along with acetic acid. As a subspecies of B. animalis, it can help break down food materials, fight disease causing microorganisms, and help in nutrient absorption. B. lactis is also found in the human gut and is popularly used as a probiotic in supplements.

There are researches out there that have demonstrated the beneficial effects of B. lactis, especially on gut health. One interesting research published in 2015, assessed the effect of probiotic fermented milk containing B. lactis in reducing gastrointestinal discomfort in adults. Just as expected, the results revealed the activity of the probiotic was able to improve gastrointestinal discomfort and decrease the frequency of its symptoms.10 There are also evidences that B. lactis might help in:
