Solgar Advanced 40+ Acidophilus Vegetable Capsules are a non-dairy probiotic supplement formulated specifically for adults aged 40 and over, providing 1.5 billion live bacterial cultures from five specially selected strains in each capsule. The live cultures are protected using Solgar's polysaccharide matrix technology, designed to help them survive stomach acid so they can reach the lower digestive tract, and unlike many probiotics, the capsules do not need to be refrigerated.

Key Features

• Formulated specifically for adults 40+: This formula is developed for people aged 40 and over, rather than being a general-purpose probiotic.
• Five specially selected bacterial strains: Each capsule provides 1.5 billion live microorganisms from five strains: L. acidophilus LA-5®, L. rhamnosus GG (LGG®), S. thermophilus TH-4®, B. lactis BB-12® and L. paracasei L. CASEI 431®.
• Polysaccharide matrix technology: The live cultures are protected by a polysaccharide matrix designed to help them survive stomach acid before reaching the lower digestive tract.
• Does not need refrigeration: Unlike many probiotic supplements, this product can be stored at room temperature.

Is this the right acidophilus product for me if I'm under 40?

Advanced 40+ Acidophilus is formulated specifically for adults aged 40 and over. Solgar also offers other acidophilus and probiotic formulas for general use if you're outside this age range.

Does this product contain dairy or gelatine?

No. It's a non-dairy formula, and the capsule shell is made from vegetable-based hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose rather than gelatine.

Is there scientific evidence that probiotic supplements work?

NHS guidance notes that while probiotics are thought to help restore the balance of bacteria in the gut, there is limited evidence to support many of the specific health claims made about them. This product is formulated to deliver 1.5 billion live bacterial cultures per capsule, protected to survive stomach acid, but should be used as part of a varied, balanced diet rather than in place of one.
