Bifidobacterium lactis

Bifidobacterium lactis, also known as Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, is one of the many species of bacteria that are a natural part of the human gut microbiota. These bacteria are gram-positive, anaerobic and adaptable to the genus Bifidobacterium. They are particularly characterized by their high resistance to stomach acid, which allows them to survive and become active only in the large intestine. Bifidobacteria are involved in various functions in the human body, including aiding digestion, regulating the immune system and preventing certain types of infections.

Bifidobacterium lactis is a common ingredient in many probiotic products and dietary supplements that are used for their beneficial effects on human health. For example, they can be included in yogurts, cheeses, milk drinks, capsules, tablets or powders as a probiotic supplement. These products are already popular not only among adults, but also among children and the elderly, whom they help to maintain their intestinal health. Bifidobacterium lactis is also often used in infant and baby formulas as it has a beneficial effect on the development and function of the intestinal microflora in children. Due to its resistance and ability to survive in harsh conditions, Bifidobacterium lactis is ideal for use in manufacturing processes and retains its beneficial properties in the final product.
