Bifantis - What Is It?

The word Bifantis is simply the trademarked name for a strain of probiotic bacteria - Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 - found in supplements such as Align.

B infantis is an anaerobic species that does not require oxygen and produces lactic and acetic acids, both of which prevent the colonization of harmful pathogens.

It also assists the immune system and moderates many gastrointesinal problems such as IBS, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, gas and bloating.

Align is a great source of this probiotic. Just keep in mind that Bifantis is a trademarked name, so although a supplement may say they are the only source of it, any supplement that provides Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 will be giving you exactly the same bacteria.

Unfortunately there is a trend for companies to give trademarked names to bacteria when the bacteria actually already has a perfectly good name.

So Align - which is a great probiotic - is the only source of it but it is not the only source of the very useful bacteria that is in it - if that makes sense?

You can read my review of Align Probiotic or my personal experience with Align and antibiotic diarrhea. It certainnly stopped me from getting AAD and in similar circumstances I would take it again.

You can buy Bifantis in Align Daily Probiotic Supplement Capsules.

A 2009 study published in the Rev Gastroenterol Disord. 2009 Winter;9(1):7-15. stated:"Although their exact mechanisms of action remain elusive, it is clear that the beneficial properties inherent to each probiotic species are strain specific. Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 ( B infantis 35624 is a probiotic with unique abilities to reduce intestinal inflammation. Two randomized, controlled trials have validated its efficacy for treating both individual and global IBS symptoms without evidence to suggest an increase in adverse events. B. infantis 35624 appears safe and effective for the treatment of IBS."
