What it is

Live and active probiotic B refers to specific strains of beneficial bacteria, often found in dairy products like yogurt. These bacteria are naturally present in the gut and are also cultivated through fermentation processes for use in food products. They are added to foods to increase the count of live microorganisms.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add live and active probiotic B to foods to enhance their potential health benefits, particularly for gut health. They are most commonly found in yogurt and other fermented dairy products, but can also be added to non-alcoholic beverages and other functional foods.

Health notes

Probiotics are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in foods. While specific strains may have different effects, research suggests that probiotics can help support a healthy gut microbiome. Regulatory bodies like the WHO and EFSA have reviewed probiotics, noting their potential benefits for digestive health. Evidence is ongoing, and effects can vary by individual and strain.

Allergen info

Probiotic B itself is not a major allergen. However, it is often found in dairy products like yogurt, which are derived from milk, a major allergen. Check product labels for other ingredients.
