Gut Health: Bifidobacterium animalis, like other bifidobacteria, is naturally present in the human gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria are important for the fermentation of dietary fibers and the production of short-chain fatty acids, which contribute to a healthy gut environment.
Probiotic Properties: Bifidobacterium animalis is commonly used as a probiotic in various food products and dietary supplements. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host. B. animalis is believed to support digestive health and contribute to the overall balance of the gut microbiota.
Immune System Modulation: Some studies suggest that certain strains of Bifidobacterium, including B. animalis, may have immunomodulatory effects. They can interact with the immune system and potentially enhance immune responses.
Reducing Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Bifidobacterium animalis has been investigated for its potential to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating and gas. It is commonly included in probiotic formulations designed to promote digestive comfort.
Preventing and Managing Diarrhea: Certain strains of Bifidobacterium animalis have been studied for their role in preventing and managing diarrhea, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea and infectious diarrhea in both adults and children.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
