It's a very beneficial supplement.. I use Optiflora which is a two-product system which includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus......microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS......food source for microflora).. This product is different in that it has a patented encapsulation process which guarantees the delivery of 500 million live bacteria to the intestines.. Other products only guarantee live bacteria at the time of manufacture..Health Question & Answer
