[Explanatory Material] Do you know the difference between lactic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacterial products?

For the development of health foods! A diagram explaining the differences when consuming live lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) and lactic acid bacterial production substances (biogenics).

Here is an introduction to the differences between probiotics and biogenics. When consuming "live lactic acid bacteria" from dairy products or yogurt (probiotics), most of them are killed by stomach acid and bile before reaching the intestines, making it difficult for them to survive and reach the intestines. Even if they do reach the intestines, if they differ from the gut bacteria that are already present, they are often excreted as transient bacteria, making it quite challenging for them to proliferate and establish themselves in the gut. On the other hand, when consuming "lactic acid bacteria production substances (biogenics)," useful components are absorbed directly into the body without going through the gut flora, and they work directly on the body. They also help to normalize the balance of the gut flora. [Summary] ■ Probiotics: Most are killed by stomach acid and bile. Difficult to proliferate and establish in the intestines. ■ Biogenics: Improve the intestinal environment while directly absorbing useful components into the body. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
