How do we know that Activia® survives its passage through the digestive system?
Clinical studies were performed with healthy volunteers to verify the survival of,BL RegularisTM at different locations in the gastrointestinal tract following the consumption of Activia® in defined quantities. Results show that BL RegularisTM survives upon passage to the stomach and all along the small intestine until finally reaching the large intestine/colon. It can then be found alive and in sufficient quantities (107 CFU/g) in stools. It can then be said that (Bifidobacterium animalis lactis), or BL RegularisTM , survives its entire journey through the gastrointestinal tract.
