Description:

BULGARICUM is Step 3 in Natren’s three-step custom probiotic layering system. It can be used in conjunction with Step 1 SUPERDOPHILUS® and Step 2 BIFIDONATE®. The three-step system is an excellent way to introduce probiotics or target specific areas of the digestive tract.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus Super Strain LB-51 (L. delbrueckii, subspecies bulgaricus) is an organism that can be found throughout the digestive system; it moves through the intestines as food is digested. It may take up to two weeks to pass through the digestive tract; along the way it naturally aids digestion and helps contain unfriendly organisms. L. bulgaricus Super Strain LB-51 (L. delbrueckii, subspecies bulgaricus) has been studied in Bulgaria for more than 30 years by leading scientists. Its unique properties are well documented.

This unique and proprietary probiotic delivery system protects and nourishes probiotic bacteria by keeping them together with their original growth medium (supernatant) for maximum potency. Research shows that the supernatant can make a probiotic up to 50% more effective.

Minimum of 2 billion colony forming units (cfu) of live, active L. delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus LB-51 super strain per serving guaranteed through the printed expiration date, if kept dry and refrigerated.

• May help alleviate the need for laxatives and help maintain the natural electrolyte balance, particularly with aging and a less active lifestyle.
• May help to promote regularity by stimulating peristaltic action.
• Produces lactase, which aids in the natural digestion of lactose (milk sugar) and may be effective for lactose intolerance.
• Helps the body digest carbohydrates, producing lactic acid, which creates a hostile environment for harmful bacteria. Lactic acid may also improve the digestibility of casein (a milk protein).
• Naturally helps the digestion of protein. The mild proteolytic activity of these bacteria may aid the digestion of nutrients, particularly milk protein. The protein in yogurt, which has been cultured by L. bulgaricus Super Strain LB-51 (L. delbrueckii, subspecies bulgaricus) becomes twice as digestible as regular milk protein. It has been shown to help produce small peptides and free-form amino acids which are readily absorbed by the body. The production of free-form amino acids also assists mineral absorption.
• The lactic acid produced by L. bulgaricus Super Strain LB-51 (L. delbrueckii, subspecies bulgaricus) may increase the bioavailability of minerals, especially calcium. This is important in lactose-intolerant individuals who may experience a deficiency of dietary calcium.
• Helps discourage undesirable microorganisms in other ways. In large numbers, it will out-compete hostile microorganisms searching for nutrients.
• Acts as an antimicrobial agent by producing hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid to create a more acidic environment that inhibits undesirable micororganisms and yeasts.
• L. bulgaricus Super Strain LB-51 (L. delbrueckii, subspecies bulgaricus) exhibited antimicrobial activity against H. pylori.
