Acidophilus combines friendly lactic acid bacteria that colonize the intestinal tract for better digestive health. Acidophilus produces lactic acid that keeps a proper pH balance in the small intestine, slowing the growth of yeast. Studies show that L. acidophilus helps reduce lactose intolerance, inhibits undesirable organisms in the intestine, reduces cholesterol levels and controls diarrhea.

is there any known side effects or does your body go through a transition, more with women since this is flushing the bad bacteria out?

Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease-causing bacteria. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds—such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid—that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria. Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms. At the time of writing there are no known side effects associated with this product.
Immune function tends to decline with age. Twice daily supplementation with Bifidobacterium lactis (a particular strain of bifidobacteria) in milk was found in a double-blind trial to significantly enhance various aspects of immune function in a group of healthy elderly people. Benefits were apparent after only six weeks of supplementation. Regular ingestion of probiotic bacteria may help prevent vaginal yeast infection. A review of the research concluded that both topical and oral use of acidophilus could prevent yeast infection caused by candida overgrowth.
