Bifidus Actiregularis, Bifidus Regularis, Bifidus Digestivum, Bifidobacterium Lactis and its variants are marketing names generated by Danone (known in the United States of America as Dannon) for one of the specific bacteria it uses in its “Activia” range of yoghurt products.

Uses

Foods like yogurt that contain beneficial microorganisms are known as probiotics. Bifidus regularis may be useful in preventing some medical problems, but more research is needed to determine if it is more effective than other probiotics.

Benefits

Function in the Body

According to Dannon, Bifidus regularis is superior to other strains of beneficial bacteria because it passes from the stomach to the intestines without being destroyed by stomach acids. Johns Hopkins Medicine confirms that the bacteria arrives in the colon intact. Dannon clams that Bifidus regularis can improve intestinal health and help prevent constipation and other digestive problems by speeding the passage of food and waste through the digestive system.
