Product Description
Bifidobacterium shortum is a bacterial species of the genus Bifidobacterium with probiotic properties. Bifidobacteria are bacteria that live symbiotically in the human intestine. They have been used to treat a variety of conditions, including constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and even colds and flu. Some of these uses have been supported by scientific research, but others have not. Bifidobacterium shortum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped organism that is not motile and forms branches with its neighbors
1.Helps with intestinal health
Another major benefit of Bifidobacterium shortum is its ability to fight obesity. One study found that supplementation significantly reduced the amount of fat in adults who were prone to obesity. Other studies have shown that it can help improve total serum cholesterol, fasting blood sugar. Like many probiotics, Bifidobacterium helps reduce constipation and diarrhea, especially in children. It helps relieve abdominal pain and increase the frequency of stools in children with functional constipation. When combined with Streptococcus thermophilus, it can also reduce the severity of acute diarrhea in young children, thereby reducing the risk of dehydration. Bifidobacterium shortum It is also helpful in low birth weight toddlers, helping to promote colonization by healthy bifidobacteria and allowing the normal intestinal flora to flourish. This has the added benefit of improving weight gain in infants.
2.Reduces inflammation
Children in particular may benefit from the anti-allergy benefits of bifidobacteria. Supplementation in preterm infants has been shown to trigger an anti-inflammatory response, which can help reduce allergic reactions later in life .
Bifidobacteria may also reduce allergic reactions to milk and prevent atopic dermatitis reactions in infants. Another study reported that Bifidobacterium shortum may reduce the risk of skin conditions such as eczema and atopic allergies in children, especially those who are already prone to allergies.
Bifidobacterium bifidum also helps strengthen the immune system and helps relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It appears that regular supplementation with short bifidobacteria helps to suppress the body's immune response, which in turn suppresses allergic reactions.
This effect is particularly beneficial for people with asthma. Bifidobacterium bifidum helps to regulate the processes that lead to allergy-related asthma attacks, as well as reduce airway inflammation. It may be more effective when used in combination with certain oligofructose.
3.Improves skin
For adults, one of the most important benefits of Bifidobacterium shortum is its ability to improve skin health. A Japanese study found that fermented milk containing Bifidobacterium shortum improved the gut health and skin health of young schoolgirls. Significant differences were found between the group taking probiotics and the group not taking probiotics, especially in terms of clean skin.
The researchers concluded that regular intake of probiotic milk helped prevent dry skin, while also improving gut function and eliminating toxins. Studies on mice also showed that Bifidobacterium shortum helped prevent moisture loss and improve skin elasticity, while also reducing damage caused by chronic UV exposure.
1.As a food supplement to help build a good digestive system. Bifidobacterium shortum promotes a healthy intestinal probiotic, which produces lactic acid and acetic acid in the intestinal tract. It can help break down food, absorb nutrients and fight other harmful organisms that may cause disease.
2. Microbial therapy
Bifidobacterium shortum strains are widely used in pediatrics and are the primary species in the gut of breastfed infants, from which it has also been isolated. It has antimicrobial activity against human pathogens, does not have a transmissible antibiotic resistance profile, is non-cytotoxic, and has immunostimulatory capacity. It mainly maintains the intestinal epithelial barrier, inhibits the adhesion of pathogens to the intestinal surface, and regulates and properly matures the immune system.
3. Treatment of infantile diarrhea
Improves symptoms and reduces the number of anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci in colicky infants. In addition, improving mucosal inflammation and modulating mucosal expression levels of certain cytokines associated with intestinal inflammation demonstrated their efficacy in acute rotavirus diarrhea in hospitalized children, particularly by increasing the immune response and reducing the duration of disease . Bifidobacterium shortum has a stronger affinity for the immature intestine than other species such as Bifidobacterium longum, demonstrating its strong ability to act as a probiotic . These achievements have contributed to the development of further studies that provide new insights into the importance of this species as a probiotic for infants.
