Answer 2

I think it is a beneficial bacteria commonly found in yogurt. You can find it in pill form at your local vitamin shop. This is not a question for a common user. I always said I would never mention this word in an answer on Yahoo, but this questions deserves it.... Wikipedia... I swear I won't do it again!

Answer 3

-philus comes from Greek 'philos' meaning to love or tend towards.
Something acidophilus tends to or like acid medium, be it a bacteria or substance.

Answer 4

this is normally present in the human digestive system...( IT IS A GOOD THING AND YOU NEED TO HAVE IT PRESENT) sometimes when you need to take an antibiotic it is "killed off" by the anitbiotic but your body needs it for digestion.
you can take a daily dose of acidophillus. if you purchase it, be sure to get the LIVE type that needs refridgeration. yogurt has a small amount in it but you may need a larger amount to replace what may be missing. go to your local health food store for a brand name supply.
