FAQ
What is EC-12 lactic acid bacteria?
EC-12 is a heat-killed strain of Enterococcus faecalis developed in Japan and studied for its immune-modulating effects. Unlike live probiotic strains, heat-killed bacteria do not need refrigeration and work primarily by activating immune cells in the gut (Peyer's patches) rather than colonising the intestine.
Is this different from a regular probiotic?
Yes. Standard probiotics contain live bacteria that colonise the gut. DHC's EC-12 is a heat-killed strain, meaning it cannot replicate but stimulates the immune system via direct interaction with gut-associated lymphoid tissue. Both approaches support gut health but through different mechanisms.
Can I take this every day long-term?
Yes, it is designed for daily use. Many people use it seasonally (autumn/winter) or year-round. After 20 days, simply reorder to continue the routine.
Is this product halal?
The lactoferrin in this product is derived from milk (bovine). Confirm with DHC Japan or check the Japanese label for full halal status confirmation.
How long does international delivery take?
Processing takes 2–6 business days from our Kobe warehouse. Depending on destination, international delivery typically takes 7–21 days after dispatch.
