Probiotics literally means “for life.” Traditional diets (like the Mediterranean Diet) with foods that contain probiotics have been shown to promote health and longevity.Probiotics are thought to facilitate healthy GI and perform many other important functions. For example, researchers have discovered that probiotics help decrease nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and positively modulate cellular signaling pathways. Studies have also shown that probiotics can influence healthy gene expression of immune cells in the gut. Properly formulated probiotics provide biologically active materials that can positively influence many aspects of human health.70%-80% of immunoglobulin-producing cells reside in the gut which is populated by nearly 100 trillion microorganisms, many of which are beneficial bacteria. These bacteria are considered a living part of the human organism. With age, we can experience a decline in vital beneficial bacteria and the strength of the immune system. Restoring the gut’s friendly bacteria can stimulate and regulate healthy immune function.BB536, Bifidobacterium longum, increases the number of healthy bacteria in the colon. An in vivo study demonstrated a significant increase in longevity in mice supplemented with bifidobacteria. BB536; was also found to reduce production of inflammatory cytokines that often accompany seasonal symptom development.Each capsule of Bifido GI Balance provides two billion colony-forming units of viable healthy bacteria.

Great for boosting beneficial bacteria
Life Extension is a brand I trust and I decided to purchase their Bifido GI Balance after a GI MAP test recommended I take more bifido based probiotics. So naturally, I searched Amazon to see what was offered. I always tend to gravitate towards this brand because I have yet to be disappointed by their quality products.

Excellent Probiotic Strains – Perfect for Milk Fermentation!
This bacterial strain consistently fermented milk, indicating that it is viable and capable of functioning as a probiotic when consumed. In contrast, other strains I tested were not viable and failed to support fermentation. This experience highlights that dead probiotic cultures are frequently sold, making it important to verify viability. I appreciate that this product performed as expected.

Hard to Find
I don’t like to take those probiotics with multiple strains in them. Single strain probiotics, particularly the bifidobacterium ones, are hard to find. This is a good one. Works for me.

Worth it
Some probiotics work and others don’t, this worked for me, within a few days I felt way better. I am a repeat customer on this stuff.

For digestive issues, use this.
If you’re having digestive issues, that stuff in yogurt might be all you need, but if not, use this. After having a super dose of antibiotics a years ago, my colon has given me nothing but trouble and its worse now than it started out being. The yogurt stuff helped but not enough. Acidopholis, I think it is. Does not help really much, though I’ve no doubt that making sure you have some is beneficial. But this type of culture. Yes. For the first time in years, I can eat potatoes without being sent to the toilet repeatedly later. I’d kill to be able to eat onions, cabbage, basically any type of vegetable at all. But not trying them all at once. I am sure now that I can eat my favorite dried beans (not from a can), and potatoes. Probably also carrots and will be trying sweet potatoes next. Those would truly all send me to the.. well you know. Much as I love onions and garlic, they will be some of the last ones I try out. I mean it was so bad that even onion powder would do it.Now, I can at least have frozen foods that have green onions and garlic in them safely. But I dont eat either those things nor canned foods much anyway. Too much sodium plus they don’t taste really great.
