Is there really a difference between acidophilus strains?
A. The suggested health benefits of probiotic strains are many, and some effects are better established than others. It should, however, be noted that each probiotic strain has its own specific health benefits, and no probiotic elicits all the health benefits proposed. Furthermore, when one probiotic strain has a certain health benefit, it cannot be assumed that another strain, not even when of the same species, has similar properties.
