Bifidobacterium longum BB536

Pre-administration of BB536 to elderly subjects enhanced natural killer cell activity, neutrophil bactericidal activity, and reduced flu symptoms compared to placebo during influenza season.

Ingestion of yogurt fortified with B. longum BB536 reduced harmful bacteria and increased beneficial Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in healthy volunteers, improving gut microbiota profile and supporting prevention of diarrhea and respiratory infections.

BB536 intake significantly increased bifidobacteria in fecal microbiota and improved bowel movements in elderly patients on enteral feeding with infrequent defecation.

BB536 improved defecation frequency, fecal consistency, and upper abdominal symptoms in elderly outpatients with chronic constipation, with effects persisting after discontinuation and minimal adverse effects.
