Bifidobacterium lactis, also known as Bifidobacterium animalis, is the most typical beneficial bacteria in the intestine and belongs to the genus Bifidobacterium. Bifidobacterium is an important component of human intestinal flora and has functions such as improving the intestinal microecological environment, laxative, and immune regulation. Its quantity is related to human health.
What is Bifidobacterium lactis good for?
1. Bifidobacterium lactis has a significant promoting effect on intestinal peristalsis.
2. Many studies have shown that Bifidobacterium lactis can regulate the composition of intestinal flora. It shows that Bifidobacterium lactis can increase the production of beneficial bacteria and inhibit opportunistic pathogenic bacteria.
3. Some studies have reported that Bifidobacterium lactis has a good therapeutic effect on functional constipation in children. This is mainly because Bifidobacterium lactis can promote the secretion of excitatory gastrointestinal hormones and reduce the production of inhibitory gastrointestinal hormones. In addition, Bifidobacterium lactis can also inhibit the growth of putrefactive bacteria, produce large amounts of lactic acid and acetic acid, promote intestinal wall peristalsis, thereby promoting defecation and improving constipation symptoms.
4. Bifidobacterium lactis can improve anxiety and depression symptoms in Parkinson's patients.
