L. acidophilus is commonly used to produce fermented milk products such as yogurt and kefir but can also be found in fermented foods, such as sauerkraut or tempeh. The bacterium lives and develops in the intestines of humans and animals and is considered as beneficial. [1]

Most lactobacilli are transient inhabitants of the gut microbiome that cannot be detected shortly after the consumption of probiotics is stopped. However, there is a huge amount of evidence that they provide a variety of health benefits. [2]
