Are you referring to the same strain as Lactobacillus acidophilus Strain LA-1? That is all I see on these labels that reflects that.

I'm sorry, wrong information.
Lactobacillus johnsonii La1 was formerly known as lactobacillus acidophilus La-1 so I thought the lactobacillus acidophilus LA-1 strain was the same as the lactobacillus (acidophilus) johnsonii La-1 strain, but it isn't. May explain I didn't feel a difference...

Svelty gastro protect (only available in mexico) is the only product that uses the L. johnsonii La-1 strain.
