PostBioPro™ Ultra-Strength Postbiotic

Pasteurized Bifidobacterium bifidum, Pasteurized Bifidobacterium lactis, Pasteurized Bifidobacterium longum.

Postbiotics from pasteurized Bifidobacterium refer to beneficial compounds produced by or released from Bifidobacterium strains after undergoing a pasteurization process. This process involves heating the bacteria to a specific temperature to kill them, after which the beneficial components they've produced, such as short-chain fatty acids, functional proteins, peptides, cell wall components, and metabolic byproducts, are harvested. These postbiotic compounds can confer health benefits such as enhancing gut barrier function, modulating the immune system, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects, even without the presence of live bacteria. This makes postbiotics a promising and safe alternative in nutritional and therapeutic applications, particularly for individuals who might be sensitive to live probiotics.

Pasteurized Lactobacillus as postbiotics refers to the non-viable (non-living) form of Lactobacillus bacteria that have been subjected to pasteurization, a heat treatment process that kills the bacteria. Despite the bacteria being non-viable, the cellular components and metabolites they produced while alive, such as cell wall fragments, functional proteins, peptides, and metabolic byproducts, remain. These components are what constitute the postbiotics.

Postbiotics, including those derived from pasteurized Lactobacillus, can offer several health benefits similar to live probiotics. They can contribute to maintaining gut health, modulating the immune system, providing anti-inflammatory effects, and supporting the body's defense against pathogens. The advantage of postbiotics is that they do not carry the risk of bacterial overgrowth or infection that can sometimes be associated with live probiotics, making them a safer option for people with compromised immune systems or those who are sensitive to live bacterial cultures.

Yeast fermentate is a product derived from the fermentation process of yeast, often Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During fermentation, yeast cells produce a variety of metabolites, including vitamins, antioxidants, peptides, and other beneficial compounds. Once the fermentation is complete, the yeast cells is inactivated or killed, and the resulting mixture, rich in the byproducts of yeast metabolism, is referred to as yeast fermentate.

Yeast fermentate is considered a type of postbiotic. Postbiotics are defined as bioactive compounds produced by food-grade microorganisms during the fermentation process. These compounds include but are not limited to, short-chain fatty acids, functional proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, cell wall components, and other metabolic byproducts. They are known to confer health benefits such as immune modulation, gut health support, and anti-inflammatory effects, similar to probiotics but without the need for live microorganisms.
