Hello Larry:

I have a question and I know you are one of most knowledgable around here and are a science expert. In the alternative thread there is a post about probiotics and I was hoping you would read it. I have looking at probiotics for some time and really am interested in where I would get them. I am really interested in getting the Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota. Any ideas? Thank you very much.

Always glad to help, john. I've posted on the Alternate board.

The Shirota strain of L. casei is found in fermented milk products. According to what I found, these brands contain L.c. Shirota: Danactive, Activia, Actimel, Yakult.

The reason john was asking is that there's a thread about this strain (and other probiotics) providing symptomatic relief in fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression.
