If you want to buy probiotic yogurt, you need to be clear, that is, to distinguish the types of live bacteria. Although some yoghurts are labeled as "probiotics", there are actually only two kinds of lactic acid bacteria.
There are hundreds of trillions of living bacteria in human intestine, including dozens of genera and 400~500 strains, such as Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Eubacteria, Clostridium, Streptococcus pepticus and so on. They help to maintain human biological, chemical and immune barriers, and have special effects on nutrition, health, defense against pathogenic bacteria, anti-tumor and anti-aging.
Among so many bacteria, there are beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria, colonization bacteria and passing bacteria. Only strong enough probiotics can survive and play a role. Therefore, when purchasing yogurt, it is necessary to distinguish the strains.
Generally speaking, we can see two kinds of bacteria in the ingredients of yogurt ―― Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
These two kinds of bacteria are the fermentation bacteria of yogurt, and they must exist in every kind of yogurt. These two kinds of bacteria are not probiotics, and they are very fragile and can hardly survive in the intestine. However, the decomposition products of these two bacteria contribute to intestinal immunity to some extent.
If you want to buy probiotic yogurt, you can generally buy Lactobacillus acidophilus (code A) and Bifidobacterium (code B, including multiple varieties), as well as some Lactobacillus casei and strains (LGG, etc. ). Common are Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Have you noticed that some strange codes "ABB", "AB 100", "BE80", "LABS" and "LGG" are often seen on yogurt packaging?
These codes actually represent some probiotic names:
Compound ABB bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus+Bifidobacterium lactis+Bifidobacterium longum;
AB 100: Lactobacillus acidophilus+Bifidobacterium;
LGG: Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Laboratory: Lactobacillus bulgaricus+Lactobacillus acidophilus+Bifidobacterium acidophilus.
E+ yogurt: Lactobacillus bulgaricus+Streptococcus thermophilus+Lactobacillus acidophilus+Bifidobacterium.
Usually, when you buy yogurt, you can identify the types and codes of these probiotics. In addition, it is very important that only probiotic yogurt can supplement probiotics.
Standard of probiotic yogurt:
Cold storage of yogurt, probiotics have certain requirements on temperature, so it is necessary to store live bacteria in cold storage. Normal temperature yoghurts such as pure X, Ann XX and Mo XXX cannot be supplemented with probiotics.
Looking for yogurt. Yogurt drinks are not yogurt. Only yogurt, fermented milk, flavored yogurt and flavored fermented milk are marked on the outer packaging.
