Bifidobacterium longum or B. longum is 1 of 32 species that belongs to the genus Bifidobacterium able to digest dietary fiber, help prevent infection and produce vitamins.¹
Bifidobacteria are a group of bacteria that normally live in the intestines and low counts of bifidobacteria has been linked to the following diseases²:
- celiac disease
- obesity
- diabetes
- allergic asthma
- dermatitis
- IBS
B. longum has been extensively studied for its ability to change or modulate the gut microbiota and improve the intestinal environment.
It has also been proven to have a benefit on the immune system by bringing homeostatic balance to the gut microbiome.³
Of course much more research is still needed to determine how exactly B. longum works in the gut microbiome, but there is a tremendous amount of evidence to prove its a multifunctional probiotic.
