Bifidobacterium Adolescentis Probiotic: The Key Strain for Metabolic & Neuro-Endocrine Balance in Adulthood

Product Overview

Bifidobacterium adolescentis is a pivotal and highly abundant probiotic strain in the healthy adult gut, playing a critical role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and supporting the gut-brain axis. As a dominant species during adolescence and adulthood, this strain is a key modulator of energy metabolism, inflammatory pathways, and neuro-endocrine communication. We supply a high-purity, potent Bifidobacterium adolescentis strain, backed by growing scientific evidence. We offer this targeted probiotic in a substantial and effective potency of 100 billion CFU, designed to positively influence the mature gut ecosystem.

Technical Advantages

Our Bifidobacterium adolescentis is distinguished by its specialized functions in the adult gastrointestinal tract:

Metabolic Homeostasis Regulation: Contributes to healthy energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate and, uniquely, facilitating the cross-feeding that leads to butyrate production.

Gut-Brain Axis Communication: Demonstrates potential to modulate the gut-brain axis, with emerging research suggesting a role in supporting stress resilience and cognitive function through immune and neural pathways.

Effective 100B CFU Formulation: This substantial potency is calibrated to make a significant impact on the complex adult gut microbiome, providing a robust dose to support its establishment and beneficial activity.

Bone Health Support Potential: Contributes to a favorable gut environment that may enhance mineral absorption, particularly calcium, which is crucial for lifelong skeletal health.

Immunomodulatory Properties: Helps maintain a balanced immune response by promoting anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles and supporting gut barrier integrity, reducing systemic low-grade inflammation.

Application Scenarios

Bifidobacterium adolescentis is uniquely suited for addressing adult-specific health concerns:

Metabolic Health Supplements: A core ingredient in probiotics targeting healthy blood sugar metabolism, weight management, and overall metabolic syndrome support for adults.

Stress & Cognitive Support Formulas: Ideal for nootropic and stress-resilience blends that leverage the gut-brain axis to support mental clarity, mood, and management of occasional stress.

Adult Microbiome Replenishment: Specifically targeted for adults seeking to replenish a core, age-appropriate beneficial bacterium that may decline due to diet, lifestyle, or aging.

Bone & Women's Health Products: Used in formulations for peri- and post-menopausal women, where gut health, inflammation, and mineral absorption are of heightened importance for bone density.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

1. What is the significance of Bifidobacterium adolescentis in the adult gut?

B. adolescentis is one of the most prevalent Bifidobacterium species in healthy adults. It is considered a cornerstone of the adult gut microbiome, playing a vital role in metabolic health, immune regulation, and maintaining microbial diversity.

2. How does B. adolescentis support metabolic health?

It ferments dietary fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which help regulate energy harvest, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce low-grade inflammation—all key factors in maintaining a healthy metabolism.

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

The adult gut is a highly competitive environment. A 100B CFU dose ensures a sufficient number of viable bacteria are delivered to effectively integrate into and modulate the established gut microbiota of an adult.

4. Is Bifidobacterium adolescentis suitable for all ages?

While it is naturally abundant in adolescents and adults, its specific functions are most relevant to these age groups. It is not typically a primary strain for infant-focused formulations, which prioritize species like B. infantis or B. breve.

5. How does it differ from Bifidobacterium longum?

While both are important in adults, B. longum is often noted for its gut-brain axis and systemic anti-inflammatory benefits, whereas B. adolescentis is particularly distinguished by its strong association with metabolic health and its role as a key producer and facilitator of SCFA production.

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 ensures the long-term stability and viability of this important strain.

7. Can this probiotic help with weight management?

Yes, by influencing SCFA production and metabolic pathways, B. adolescentis can support a healthy metabolism and body composition. Its role in reducing inflammation also contributes to an overall metabolic environment conducive to weight management.

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

Yes, our Bifidobacterium adolescentis 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 data on SCFA production?

Yes, we provide our B2B partners with in-vitro data from our technical dossier that characterizes the metabolic output of our strain, including its production of acetate and its role in the cross-feeding network that leads to butyrate generation.

10. Does it work well with prebiotics?

Exceptionally well. B. adolescentis is a potent utilizer of a wide range of dietary fibers. Formulating it with prebiotics like FOS, Inulin, or XOS (xylooligosaccharides) creates a powerful synbiotic that dramatically enhances its survival and beneficial activity in the gut.
