Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lactobacillus bulgaricus good for?

Lactobacillus bulgaricus is good for supporting digestive comfort, lactose digestion and healthy intestinal microflora. It is a classic yogurt culture that produces lactic acid and supports digestive enzyme activity. SwissMedicare Probiotics supplies export-grade Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus freeze-dried powder at 1–50 billion CFU/g for dairy, functional food and supplement manufacturers.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus rarely causes side effects and has a long history of safe use in yogurt. Some people may experience mild gas or bloating when starting a supplement. Serious problems are very rare, but people who are immunocompromised, critically ill or managing a serious condition should consult a healthcare professional before taking probiotic supplements.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus is found mainly in yogurt and fermented dairy products, where it works alongside Streptococcus thermophilus as a traditional starter culture. It was first identified in Bulgarian yogurt in the early 1900s. It is not a permanent resident of the human gut, so regular intake through yogurt, fermented milk or supplements is needed.

Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus differ mainly in origin and role. L. acidophilus is a native human gut species with strong acid and bile tolerance that can persist in the intestine. L. bulgaricus is primarily a dairy starter culture used with Streptococcus thermophilus to make yogurt, passing through the gut transiently while aiding lactose digestion.
