Lactic Acid Bacillus (60 million spores): Upon ingestion, these spores germinate in the intestine and produce L+ lactic acid. This process supports digestive health by maintaining a healthy pH balance in the colon, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, suppressing harmful bacteria, and enhancing immune function.
