Bifidobacterium Longum Probiotic: The Foundational Strain for Gut-Brain Axis & Systemic Balance

Product Overview

Bifidobacterium longum is one of the most prevalent and vital probiotic species in the human gut, acting as a cornerstone for microbial balance and systemic health. Recognized for its remarkable genetic versatility and adaptability, this strain excels in modulating the gut-brain axis, supporting a balanced immune response, and maintaining intestinal integrity. We supply a high-purity, human-residential Bifidobacterium longum strain, backed by extensive research. To deliver foundational health benefits, we offer this essential probiotic in an optimal and effective potency of 100 billion CFU.

Technical Advantages

Our Bifidobacterium longum is characterized by its broad-spectrum, regulatory role within the human microbiome:

Gut-Brain Axis Modulation: Demonstrated ability to produce gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and other neuroactive compounds, thereby influencing stress response and supporting a calm, balanced mood.

Systemic Immune Regulation: Promotes a balanced immune response by modulating inflammatory pathways and supporting the development of regulatory T-cells, crucial for immune tolerance.

Optimal 100B CFU Formulation: This potency is scientifically calibrated to effectively colonize and exert a foundational influence on the gut ecosystem, making it ideal for daily wellness supplements.

Enhanced Gut Barrier Function: Strengthens the intestinal lining by promoting the production of tight-junction proteins, reducing intestinal permeability and supporting overall gut health.

Broad Metabolic Capability: Utilizes a wide variety of dietary prebiotics, making it highly effective in diverse gut environments and an ideal partner for synbiotic formulations.

Application Scenarios

Bifidobacterium longum's foundational role makes it suitable for core wellness and targeted formulations:

Stress & Mood Support Supplements: A key ingredient in probiotics targeting the gut-brain axis for mental well-being, stress resilience, and relaxation support.

Immune Balance Formulas: Ideal for foundational immune health products designed to support a balanced, appropriate immune response year-round.

Digestive Wellness & Comfort: Used in supplements aimed at reducing occasional digestive discomfort, bloating, and supporting overall gut harmony.

Foundational Health & Healthy Aging: Serves as a core component in daily wellness and healthy aging regimens, supporting the essential gut microbiome structure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes Bifidobacterium longum a "foundational" probiotic?

As one of the first colonizers of the infant gut and a dominant species in healthy adults, B. longum plays a critical structural role in the microbiome, influencing its overall composition and function, thereby laying a "foundation" for health.

2. How does B. longum support mental well-being?

It communicates with the brain via the vagus nerve and by producing neurotransmitters like GABA, which has calming effects on the nervous system, helping to modulate the body's response to stress.

3. Why is a 100B CFU count suitable for this strain?

As a primary colonizer, B. longum does not always require ultra-high doses to integrate and exert influence within the existing gut community. A 100B CFU provides an effective, substantiated dose for foundational support.

4. Is Bifidobacterium longum safe for all age groups?

Yes, it is a natural resident in humans from infancy to old age and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). It is commonly used in infant formula and adult dietary supplements.

5. How does it differ from Bifidobacterium lactis in its benefits?

While B. lactis is renowned for its robustness and direct immune/digestive support, B. longum is particularly distinguished by its strong gut-brain axis activity and its role as a fundamental regulator of the gut ecosystem.

6. What is the shelf life and storage recommendation?

The bulk powder has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in its original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place (below 25°C). For maximum long-term viability, refrigeration (2-8°C) is strongly recommended.

7. Can this strain be taken with antibiotics?

Yes, taking B. longum during and after a course of antibiotics may help restore the beneficial gut flora. It is advised to take the probiotic at least 2-3 hours apart from the antibiotic dose.

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

Yes, our Bifidobacterium longum is non-GMO project verified and is free from major allergens. A Certificate of Analysis confirming the absence of gluten, soy, and dairy is provided.

9. Do you provide technical data for gut-brain axis claims?

Yes, we provide our B2B partners with a technical dossier containing relevant scientific literature and in-vitro data supporting the strain's ability to produce neuroactive compounds and modulate the gut-brain axis.

10. Is it compatible with prebiotics?

Absolutely. B. longum thrives when paired with prebiotics like Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS). We can assist in developing effective synbiotic formulations.
