What is the recommended dosage for Bifidobacterium longum?

General: 1-10 billion CFU/day; Ibs Support: 1 billion CFU/day (35624 strain, marketed as Alflorex/Align)

What are the side effects of Bifidobacterium longum?

Potential side effects include: Mild gas and bloating during initial use, Occasional abdominal discomfort, Rare loose stools, Very rare: bacteremia in immunocompromised individuals.

What is Bifidobacterium longum and how does it work for gut health?

Bifidobacterium longum is one of the first bacteria to colonize the human gut after birth and remains present throughout life. It produces short-chain fatty acids, helps metabolize bile acids, and may reduce intestinal inflammation. Research suggests it may also influence the gut-brain axis, potentially supporting both digestive and mental well-being.

What is the recommended dosage of Bifidobacterium longum?

Studies have used dosages from 1 billion to 50 billion CFU per day. The strain B. longum 35624 (Alflorex/Align) has been studied extensively at approximately 1 billion CFU daily for IBS symptoms. Other strains like BB536 have been used at 2-5 billion CFU per day with positive results.

Are there side effects or interactions with Bifidobacterium longum?

Bifidobacterium longum is well-tolerated with a strong safety profile established across many clinical trials. Minor gastrointestinal symptoms such as increased gas may occur initially but typically resolve within a few days. There are no widely documented drug interactions, though standard precautions apply for immunocompromised individuals.

About

Bifidobacterium longum is a key commensal bacterium in the healthy human gut, present from birth and throughout life. It supports digestive health by fermenting complex carbohydrates to produce acetate and lactate, which may help maintain a healthy colonic environment. Research suggests the 35624 strain may help reduce visceral hypersensitivity through serotonin pathway modulation, supporting digestive comfort.

How It Works

Ferments complex carbohydrates producing acetate and lactate that lower colonic pH; reduces visceral hypersensitivity via serotonin pathway modulation; downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha); enhances regulatory T cell activity in gut-associated lymphoid tissue.
