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.

Gorbach and Goldin at Tufts University in Boston. Clinical studies at major universities in the U.S. and Europe have documented Lactobacillus GG's health-promoting benefits.
