How Bifidobacterium Adolescentis Helps You Digest Lactose

For many people, dairy products can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort. The reason is simple. As we age, our natural production of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, often decreases. Without enough lactase, lactose stays undigested in the gut, where it ferments and causes unpleasant symptoms.

But there is a better way to enjoy dairy again. Certain beneficial gut bacteria, like Bifidobacterium adolescentis, can help your body regain its ability to digest lactose naturally.

The Role of Bifidobacterium Adolescentis

Bifidobacterium adolescentis is a Human Native™ probiotic strain, which means it naturally exists in a healthy human gut. Research has shown that it can help support your body’s own production of lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose into simple sugars that are easier to absorb.

When Bifidobacterium adolescentis is present and thriving, it helps your gut:

  • Support natural lactase enzyme production
  • Break down lactose more efficiently
  • Reduce the fermentation process that leads to gas and bloating
  • Improve overall digestion and gut comfort

Instead of relying on temporary enzyme pills that only work for a single meal, this probiotic helps train your gut to manage dairy long term.

Why Temporary Enzymes Are Not Enough

Most lactose intolerance pills contain synthetic lactase. They provide short-term relief, but they do not improve your gut health. As soon as you stop taking them, the symptoms return.

Bifidobacterium adolescentis works differently. By supporting the natural balance of your microbiome, it addresses the underlying reason your gut struggles with dairy. Over time, this probiotic can help you tolerate dairy foods more comfortably and without constant reliance on external enzymes.

Feeding the Right Bacteria

Just like any probiotic, Bifidobacterium adolescentis needs the right nutrients to thrive. Pairing it with precision prebiotics helps it grow stronger in your gut, ensuring it can support lactase production more effectively. That is why we combine this strain with carefully selected prebiotic fibers that feed only the beneficial bacteria, not the ones that cause bloating or discomfort.
