Introduction

Bifidobacterium is a genus of Gram-positive, non-motile, often branched anaerobic bacteria inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. Bifidobacteria are one of the major genera of bacteria that make up the gut flora, the bacteria that reside in the colon. Bifidobacteria aid in digestion, are associated with a lower incidence of allergies and also prevent some forms of tumor growth. Some bifidobacteria are used as probiotics.

Before the 1960s, Bifidobacterium species were collectively referred to as "Lactobacillus bifidus".

Bifidobacteria are considered as important probiotics and used in the food industry to relieve and treat many intestinal disorders. Bifidobacteria exert a range of beneficial health effects, including the regulation of intestinal microbial homeostasis, the inhibition of pathogens and harmful bacteria that colonize and/or infect the gut mucosa, the modulation of local and systemic immune responses, the repression of procarcinogenic enzymatic activities within the microbiota, the production of vitamins, and the bioconversion of a number of dietary compounds into bioactive molecules.

The role of bifidobacterium

1. Improve gastric tract function of human
  - improve Upset Stomach, Abdominal Pain, Abdominal Distention, Acute/Chronic Diarrhea, constipation.
  - improve Lack of Appetite, Dyspepsia, Poor Nutrient Absorption
2. Restore the balance of flora, form protection of antibacterial bio, maintain health
3. Keep the balance of toxins, protect and improve liver to detoxify and detox.
4. Hypolipidemic, prevent Arteriosclerosis [AS] and Hypertension [HT]
5. Immunological regulation, improve resistance, relieve insomnia, etc.
6. Nutrition
  -produce a variety of Amino Acids, Vitamins and Protein.
  -produce Lactic Acid Bacteria and Acetic Acid, improve absorption of Ca, P, Fe and Vitamin D.
7. Improve animation of SOD, eliminate FR, anti-aging and prolong life.
8. Anti-tumor and Cancer Prevention
