Our Bifidobacterium longum supplement features a well-documented probiotic strain and is formulated in gastro-resistant capsules, which may help support a balanced gut microbiota.* This delivery format is designed to assist beneficial bacteria in reaching the intestines intact.*
What is Bifidobacterium Longum?
Bifidobacterium longum is among the first probiotic strains to be naturally present in the human body and was initially identified in 1899, likely from a healthy, breastfed infant.*
Over time, it appears to have been identified as part of a unique bacterial genus, potentially associated with the production of lactic and acetic acids — compounds that may help maintain a balanced digestive environment.*
The BB536 strain – first isolated in 1977 – appears to be one of the most studied strains in the context of dietary supplements designed to support microbiota balance.* Research has looked into its potential role in promoting digestive well-being and helping maintain natural immune function as part of a healthy lifestyle.*
Exploring the Potential of Bifidobacterium Longum*
Intestinal microflora includes a wide variety of microbial species that interact in a dynamic balance.* This balance may be influenced by factors such as age, stress, dietary habits, and certain medications.* Probiotics like Bifidobacterium longum BB536 are being explored for their potential to support a more favorable environment in the digestive tract.* Some studies suggest that this strain may:*
- May help support balanced gut flora, particularly as microbiota diversity naturally shifts with age.*
- Could contribute to a more favorable intestinal environment by gently influencing microbial activity.*
- Might play a role in maintaining natural immune defenses through support of immunoglobulin activity.*
- May help encourage a balanced digestive environment via the natural production of compounds like acetic acid.*
- Could help maintain digestive comfort, especially during or after periods that affect microbial balance.*
- Might assist with regular digestive rhythm by supporting a healthy internal environment.*
- Appears to have been studied for its potential to maintain normal immune responses in older adults.*
- May help support microbial stability during seasonal or lifestyle-related changes.*
- Could assist overall well-being by supporting healthy nutrient utilization, such as calcium absorption.*
Each capsule delivers nearly 2 billion viable organisms.* The suggested use is 3 capsules per day, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner, providing an approximate total of 6 billion microorganisms.*
For broader microbiome support, this formula may be paired with a gentle prebiotic source like Fructo-Oligosaccharides, which may help create an environment that supports probiotic activity.*
Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is recommended to maintain potency over time.
