Bifidobacterium animalis

Bifidobacterium animalis is a probiotic bacterium of the Bifidobacterium genus, supplied by Nustras as a standardised, CFU-guaranteed powder for supplement, functional-food and beverage manufacturers. It is prized for its stability and acid and bile resistance, which help it survive processing and transit to the gut. The species includes two commercially used subspecies, B. animalis subsp. lactis, often labelled B. lactis, and subsp. animalis.

It is formulated into probiotic capsules, sachets, chewables and stick-packs, and into functional dairy and plant-based beverages, for digestive and immune support, and is frequently blended with other probiotic strains and prebiotics in synbiotic formulas.

Potency is guaranteed in colony-forming units per gram, with the strain designation specified to order. The material is an off-white to cream powder on a suitable carrier; identity and count are determined by a validated method, and moisture, heavy-metal and contaminant limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis. An overage is added for shelf-life stability and the material is handled under cold chain.

Nustras supplies Bifidobacterium animalis in bulk commercial quantities, cold-chain packed in sealed moisture-protected foil, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis stating the CFU count and strain identity, a specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Accepted B. animalis subsp. lactis strains appear in the NNHPD probiotic monographs and have a long history of safe use; buyers confirm the exact strain, claim and CFU basis for their product.
