Antibiotics always sold in combination with lactobacillus

Antibiotics may kill even the useful bacteria present in the digestive tract LAB will protect some microbes in the digestive tract and enhance the production of vitamin B12.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a type of bacteria found in your intestines. It's a member of the Lactobacillus genus of bacteria, and it plays an important role in human health. Its name gives an indication of what it produces — lactic acid. It does this by producing an enzyme called lactase.

Lactobacillus being the most commonly used probiotic agent improves growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, nutrient utilization, intestinal microbiota, gut health and regulates immune system.
