Probiotic strain that supports digestion and immunity

We rank Bifidobacterium Lactis by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Bifidobacterium Lactis is a specific strain of probiotic, which are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health. This particular type of bacteria is naturally found in the human digestive system.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support the health of the gut and the immune system. By helping to maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the intestines, it can improve overall digestion.

How it's made

To create the supplement, the bacteria are grown in large industrial tanks filled with a nutrient rich broth. Once they have multiplied, the liquid is removed and the bacteria are freeze dried into a stable powder. This powder is then put into capsules or sachets to keep the bacteria alive until they are consumed.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid range in price. This is because the process of cultivating live cultures and using freeze drying technology to ensure they remain active is more complex and costly than producing simple mineral or vitamin powders.
