Bifidobacterium Breve Probiotic: A Key Strain for Pediatric Gut Health & Intestinal Integrity

Product Overview

Bifidobacterium breve is a pivotal probiotic strain, especially abundant in the gut of healthy infants and playing a critical role in early-life microbiome development. This species is a versatile and powerful ally for supporting digestive comfort, strengthening the gut barrier, and modulating the immune system. We supply a high-potency, well-researched Bifidobacterium breve strain, ideal for formulating specialized pediatric and adult health supplements. To address the need for a robust dose in targeted applications, we offer this potent probiotic in a single, high-intensity specification of 200 billion CFU.

Technical Advantages

Our Bifidobacterium breve is distinguished by its specific mechanisms that support gut integrity and overall wellness:

Early-Life Microbiome Dominance: As a primary colonizer in infants, it is exceptionally adapted to support healthy gut development and immune education in pediatric populations.

Enhanced Gut Barrier Fortification: Promotes the production of mucins and tight-junction proteins, effectively strengthening the intestinal lining and reducing permeability.High-Potency 200B CFU Formula: This substantial potency is calibrated for advanced nutritional supplements where a impactful dose is critical for influencing gut ecology and immune function, especially in restorative health protocols.

Broad Substrate Utilization: Efficiently metabolizes a wide range of prebiotic fibers, including Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), making it highly effective in the infant gut and in synbiotic formulations for all ages.

Anti-Pathogenic Activity: Produces organic acids and bacteriocins that create an unfavorable environment for harmful bacteria, helping to maintain a balanced gut microbiota.

Application Scenarios

Bifidobacterium breve is uniquely suited for specialized health applications across age groups:

Infant & Children's Probiotics: The cornerstone ingredient in formulas and supplements designed to support healthy gut flora establishment, reduce colic, and ease functional constipation in infants and children.

Gut Barrier Support Formulas: Ideal for adult supplements targeting "leaky gut" syndrome, intestinal permeability, and overall digestive tract integrity.

Allergy Management Support: Used in formulations aimed at modulating the immune system to support a balanced response to environmental allergens, based on its role in early immune education.

Synbiotic & HMO-Based Products: A perfect match for advanced synbiotic products utilizing prebiotics like GOS or HMOs to enhance its colonization and efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are the primary benefits of Bifidobacterium breve?

B. breve is renowned for supporting infant gut health (easing colic and constipation), strengthening the intestinal barrier in all age groups, and contributing to a balanced immune response, particularly in the context of allergies.

2. Why is B. breve so important for infants?

It is one of the first and most abundant bifidobacteria to colonize the infant gut. It helps digest HMOs from breast milk, crowds out pathogens, and plays a fundamental role in training the developing immune system.

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

For supporting gut barrier repair and exerting a significant effect in a mature or compromised microbiome, a higher CFU count is often necessary to ensure a sufficient number of viable bacteria reach the colon to enact therapeutic benefits.

4. Is Bifidobacterium breve only for infants and children?

While it is critically important for early life, research shows it also provides significant benefits for adults, particularly in supporting gut lining integrity and modulating immune function.

5. How does B. breve support the gut barrier?

It enhances the production of the mucus layer that lines the gut and strengthens the protein "seals" (tight junctions) between intestinal cells, preventing unwanted substances from leaking into the bloodstream.

6. What is the shelf life and optimal 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 is crucial for maintaining the high viability of this potent strain over time.

7. Can this strain be used in infant formula?

Yes, specific strains of B. breve are among the most commonly added probiotics to infant formula worldwide, supported by clinical studies for safety and efficacy in supporting healthy growth and digestion.

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

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

9. Do you provide documentation for pediatric use?

Yes, we supply a full Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and a technical dossier to our B2B partners, which includes summaries of relevant clinical studies supporting its safe use in pediatric populations.

10. Can B. breve be combined with other probiotics?

It combines very effectively with other strains. For example, pairing it with B. infantis can provide comprehensive infant gut support, while combining it with L. rhamnosus can create a powerful blend for immune and barrier function in adults.
