Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are the primary benefits of Lactobacillus helveticus?

L. helveticus is primarily researched for its positive effects on the gut-brain axis, including supporting relaxation, reducing subjective feelings of stress, and promoting healthy sleep patterns. It also supports overall digestive health.

2. How does L. helveticus influence mood and sleep?

It works through the gut-brain axis by producing specific bioactive peptides (like GABA precursors) during fermentation. These compounds can interact with the nervous system, promoting a calming effect.

3. Why is a 200B CFU count important for this strain?

Given that the target benefits are systemic and involve complex neurological pathways, a higher CFU count (200B) is often used in clinical research to ensure a sufficient quantity of bacteria to exert a measurable effect on the host.

4. Is this probiotic suitable for individuals with dairy sensitivities?

Our bulk powder itself is a purified bacterial biomass. While the strain is renowned for fermenting dairy, the final probiotic ingredient contains minimal to no dairy residues. We provide CoA to verify this, but end-product testing is recommended for finished goods marketed as dairy-free.

5. Can L. helveticus be taken during the day without causing drowsiness?

Yes. Its calming effects are typically subtle and supportive of the body's natural stress response systems, not sedative. It is considered suitable for daytime use to support mood and focus, though it is also popular in nighttime regimens.

6. What is the shelf life and storage condition?

The bulk powder has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in its original sealed packaging at or below -18°C (freezer conditions). This ensures maximum long-term viability.

7. How does L. helveticus differ from L. rhamnosus for stress support?

While both interact with the gut-brain axis, L. helveticus is particularly noted for its direct production of neuroactive peptides from protein hydrolysis. L. rhamnosus mechanisms are often linked more to immunomodulation and gut barrier support.

8. Is your strain non-GMO and allergen-free?

Yes, our Lactobacillus helveticus is non-GMO project verified. The bulk biomass is free from major allergens. A Certificate of Analysis confirming the absence of allergens like gluten, soy, and dairy is provided.

9. Can this strain be used in non-dairy applications?

Absolutely. While it excels in dairy matrices, it can be effectively formulated into vegan capsules, stick-packs with rice maltodextrin, or other dairy-free delivery systems.

10. Do you provide scientific support for product development?

We supply a comprehensive technical dossier to our B2B partners, which includes in-vitro data and summaries of relevant clinical studies supporting its use for cognitive and emotional wellness.
