What it is

Bulgaricus & S is a strain of probiotic bacteria, specifically a type of Lactobacillus bulgaricus. It is a naturally occurring microorganism found in dairy products and is commonly used in the production of yogurt. It is cultivated and added to foods for its beneficial properties.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated probiotics, but do not typically set specific ADIs for live bacterial cultures. Research into the specific health effects of different probiotic strains is ongoing.
