Bifidobacterium lactis and Metabolic Health

Bifidobacterium lactis may support metabolic health by helping to mitigate the effects of high-fat meals and modulate immune responses associated with inflammation.¹

Bifidobacterium lactis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

This probiotic has also shown potential in alleviating symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly in individuals with constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C). It may support digestion and relieve constipation by promoting faster gut transit and reducing discomfort. Research suggests it can help ease digestive symptoms and support regular bowel movements.²

How can Bifidobacterium lactis Support Overall Gut Health?

It supports overall gut health by strengthening the intestinal barrier and helping to inhibit harmful bacteria, which may reduce the risk of infections and diarrhoea. It also aids digestion by promoting intestinal transit and increasing bowel movement frequency, partly through modulation of gut-brain communication via beneficial compounds produced during fermentation.³
