Bifidobacterium spp.
?
Bifidobacterium spp. are a type of beneficial bacteria found in the gut microbiome. Bifidobacterium spp. are sometimes added to food products for their health benefits such as improving lactose tolerance, preventing diarrhea, supporting the immune system, decreasing food allergies, and preventing growth of "bad" bacteria. Measuring levels of Bifidobacteria can help to identify imbalances in the gut that may be contributing to health issues and symptoms, such as digestive problems or allergies.
