Lactobacillus casei Lc-11 survives stomach acid and establishes itself in the gut. Supplement makers include it to encourage regular bowel movements and a strong immune response.
It helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, relieves occasional digestive upset, and supports immune health. Taking it as a capsule or powder with a meal improves the odds of the bacteria surviving the journey through the stomach.
If you have a weakened immune system, for instance after an organ transplant or during chemotherapy, talk with your doctor before starting. This probiotic is not meant for critically ill people.
