Science
- The Traditional Bulgarian strains of L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. helveticus, B. infantis and B. longum were chosen to suppress C. diff in the large intestines of humans suffering from ulcerative colitis. The strains were found to be the best amongst 50 others that were tested to manage C. diff infection.
- The Supernatant Synbiotic Traditional Bulgarian strains:
- Colonize the GI tract, thereby protecting the membrane from colonization by pathogenic bacteria including C. difficile.
- Promote the production of short-chain fatty acids as a byproduct of the fermentation of inulin by Bifidobacterium. This reduces the intestinal pH and creates an unfavorable environment for C. difficile. Short chain fatty acids are also known to be the main nutritive energy source for the enterocytes. Increased production of short chain fatty acids improves the overall integrity of the GI tract membrane, tightening up cell junctions.
- Release antibacterial substances such as bacteriocines, which suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
