As one of the most influential probiotics scientists to date, Dr. Khem Shahani began his landmark research on Lactobacillus acidophilus at the University of Nebraska in the late 1950s. There he discovered a particular strain of L. acidophilus that showed superior growth, stability and nutritional viability. Dr. Shahani would later name the strain DDS-1 for the Department of Dairy Science Number One strain and spend the rest of his career unlocking its potentials for improving overall health.

The health benefits of the DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus have been documented in internationally reputable journals and are as follows:

  • Produces enzymes and B vitamins to help digest fats and aid food digestion
  • Aids in the production of Acidophilin ? a natural antibiotic
  • Inhibits the growth of 23 toxic-producing microorganisms
  • Alleviates lactose intolerance through the production of lactase
  • Enhances calcium metabolism ? reducing cholesterol and carcinogens
  • Alleviates dermatitis and other skin disorders
  • Aids in the production and/or augmentation of immune bodies
