What is Bifantis™?
Bifantis is the trademarked name for the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium infantis 35624. Clinical trials have demonstrated that regular use of this probiotic strain promotes normal digestive health, even for people who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). These normal, friendly bacteria play an important role in basic digestion, proper metabolism and overall well-being. Capsules of Bifantis deliver millions of good bacteria to work within the digestive system to restore intestinal balance and maintain normal digestive health.

Bifantis is not a drug; it's a natural supplement that is similar to the active cultures found in some yogurts and fermented milks.

What is a probiotic?
The word "Probiotic" means "for life." Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, or good bacteria, that actually can help strengthen the body's natural defenses, and help restore the appropriate balance of healthy bacteria.

Not all probiotics are alike. Experts believe that the benefits of probiotics are strain-specific and recommend that all probiotics should be independently tested and evaluated in clinical trials—like Bifantis has been.

How does the probiotic Bifantis help intestinal balance?
The basic makeup of your intestinal bacteria was established very early in your life. You may not realize that bacteria are continually introduced into your body as a normal part of daily life. However, at times, the result is a cascading effect that ends in noticeable digestive upset as your body attempts to return to its normally balanced state. The goal of Bifantis, a probiotic supplement, is to maintain the optimal bacterial balance and provide a natural defense against this cascading effect.

Common factors that can disrupt the digestive balance are changes in diet or your surroundings, the level of stress in your life, illness, and the use of some medications, particularly antibiotics. New research has found that individuals who suffer from frequent digestive upsets, such as people who are diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), may have a pronounced disruption of bacterial balance, which is thought to contribute to their symptoms.
