Product Uses :
Bifidobacterium bifidum is commonly known as a type of “good bacteria” that live in the human body, especially in the digestive system. Bifidobacterium bifidum plays an important role in processes such as healthy digestion and in warding off harmful infectious bacteria. Bifidobacterium bifidum is available in supplements.
Bifidobacterium bifidum is included in a subsection of bacteria known as probiotics. These beneficial bacteria occur naturally within the human body and are found most commonly in the gastrointestinal tract. Bifidobacteria have also been detected, although significantly less in quantity, in breast milk, the mouth, and the vagina. While it is accepted that probiotics act opportunistically within the intestine, in effect beating out known pathogenic species, researchers continue to investigate the specific mechanisms by which bifidobacteria act. As a part of the probiotic group of bacteria, bifidobacteria are attributed with a vast array of beneficial physiologic effects. Some of the benefits associated with bifidobacteria include: improved digestion, augmentation of the immune system, efficient production of lactic and acetic acid without producing carbon dioxide, lower serum cholesterol levels, lower incidence of allergies, enhanced calcium absorption, better synthesis of B-complex vitamins, and further promotes anti-tumorgenic effects in cases of colon cancer. In addition, bifidobacteria have commonly been utilized in home remedies for diarrhea, vaginitis, yeast infections, as well as irritable bowel syndrome..
