WHY Lactobacillus bulgaricus, LB-51 strain?

L. bulgaricus, LB-51 is an organism that can be found throughout the digestive system; it progresses through the intestines as food is digested. It may take up to two weeks to pass completely through the digestive tract; along the way it naturally aids digestion and helps contain unfriendly organisms. L. bulgaricus, LB-51 Super Strain has been studied in Bulgaria for more than 30 years by leading scientists. Its unique properties are well documented. Lactobacillus bulgaricus was recently renamed L. delbruekii subspecies bulgaricus.

Lactobacillus delbruekii subspecies bulgaricus CHARACTERISTICS

Demonstrated benefits of certain strains of L. delbruekii subspecies bulgaricus:

1. Produces lactase, which aids in the natural digestion of lactose (milk sugar) and may be effective for lactose intolerance.

2. Helps the body digest carbohydrates, producing lactic acid. Lactic acid may also improve the digestibility of casein (a milk protein).

3. Naturally helps in the digestion of protein. Mild proteolytic activity of these bacteria may aid the digestion of nutrients, particularly milk protein. It has been shown to help produce small peptides and free-form amino acids that are readily absorbed by the body. The production of free-form amino acids also assists mineral absorption.

4. The lactic acid produced by L. bulgaricus may increase the bioavailability of minerals, especially calcium. The absorption is doubly important in lactose-intolerant individuals who may experience a deficiency of dietary calcium.
