Acidophilus With Pectin
Health Star's Acidophilus With Pectin is a probiotic supplement containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Citrus Pectin at 100 mg, and Calcium at 140 mg per capsule. This product received an N+ Score of 35, resulting in an 'F' grade, indicating a poor quality rating. Notably, the Calcium content is underdosed compared to established clinical recommendations, and no ingredients are present at clinically studied doses. With only 3 total ingredients, the formulation is relatively simple, but the lack of specific probiotic strain and CFU counts limits transparency. This product may appeal to individuals seeking a combination of probiotics and pectin, but those prioritizing clinically effective probiotic dosages may need to explore other options.
