What it is

Bifidobacterium Breve is a type of probiotic bacteria naturally found in the human gut, particularly in infants. It is often grown in laboratory settings using fermentation processes with specific nutrient media to produce large quantities for use in supplements and foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add Bifidobacterium Breve to foods as a live culture to provide potential probiotic benefits. It is commonly found in fermented dairy products like yogurt, as well as in specialized beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and protein recovery drinks.

Health notes

In the U.S., Bifidobacterium Breve is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in certain foods. Probiotics like Bifidobacterium Breve are studied for their potential role in supporting gut health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated probiotics, but specific numeric limits are not typically set for live cultures. Research into the specific health effects of different probiotic strains is ongoing, and effects can vary by individual.

Allergen info

Bifidobacterium Breve is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
