Metabolic MaintenanceBioMaintenance™ bacterial strain complex

Lactic acid bacteria are microorganisms that naturally occur in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha. They are often added to supplements.

CFU stands for "Colony Forming Units," meaning the number of live bacterial cells that are capable of multiplying. This product contains 50 billion CFU per capsule at the time of production.

Each lactic acid bacterial strain naturally occurs in other types of foods or environments. In this supplement, several types are combined in one formula, originating from different strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

DDS-1 is a specific strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus. This strain has been in use since the 1960s and is known as a patented and stable bacterial strain.

Both are types of lactic acid bacteria, but they differ in structure, habitat, and origin. Lactobacillus strains are often found in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut. Bifidobacterium strains are more often associated with infant nutrition and some dairy products.

These codes refer to the specific registration and identification of the strain. They indicate that it is a unique and tested bacterial strain, often sourced from research institutes or specialized suppliers.
