NATREN BIFIDO FACTOR® PRODUCT AVAILABILITY: DAIRY - Loose Probiotic Powder , A note about dairy based probiotics: Dairy milk is one of the original foods that these bacteria thrive on, which is why they are called Lacto bacilli, meaning milk bacteria. [Ayurveda, a Hindu system of traditional medicine used in India for over 5000 years, is devoted to using dairy products, as milk is considered the pure love of the cow for her calf. Ayurvedic doctors and pharmacists highly recommend dairy products to their patients. Natren is one of the few custom probiotic manufacturers to still use dairy as a growth medium for beneficial bacteria.
