It's definitely legal, but doesn't contain acidophilus.

And one of its strain is useful only as a producer of yogurt, but

has no known role as useful in the gut, I recently read.

So you may wish to add

some acidophilus to the starter for the full beneficial effect.

I just realized my Gi prostart starter does not contain acidophilus, but

scdophilus does. Is it best to use both?

Interesting, because I had started taking the scodophilus this past week because

I had overcooked my yogurt and figured I might have killed off too many bugs.

Maybe this precipitated a die off.

I use a combination of Fage and Erivan (this is an excellent yogurt that someone

on this group recommended). It contains acidophilus only and is available

at Whole Foods.
