What Is The Difference Between Bifidobacterium Lactis And Bifidobacterium Animalis?

 

Bifidobacterium lactis powder is a Gram-positive anaerobic bacillus belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium that naturally colonizes the intestines of humans and animals. It is resistant to erosion by gastric acid and bile, acting as a biological barrier.

 

 

1. Regulates intestinal function

It can balance intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, reduce toxin absorption, and relieve digestive problems.

 

2. Promotes nutrient absorption

• Breakdowns lactose: Relieves intestinal cramping and diarrhea caused by lactose intolerance.
• Synthesizes vitamins to prevent nutritional deficiencies.

 

3. Enhance Immunity

Bifidobacterium lactis probiotics can activate immune cells, relieve allergies and reduce the risk of cancer.
