After drinking milk, these people often have gastrointestinal disturbances, leading to gastrointestinal cramps, flatulence or diarrhea, forcing this group of people to drink milk, thus Abandoning other important ingredients in milk, Bifidobacterium can produce lactase during the fermentation of dairy products to help patients digest lactose. Those with lactase deficiency can drink milk products fermented by Bifidobacterium to get rich nutrients in milk and avoid gastrointestinal pain.

   1. Maintain the balance of normal intestinal bacterial flora, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, prevent constipation, diarrhea and stomach Intestinal disorders, etc.;

  2, anti-tumor;

  3, synthesize vitamins, amino acids in the intestine and improve the body’s absorption of calcium ions;

  4, Reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and prevent hypertension;

  5. Improve lactose tolerance of dairy products and increase digestibility;

  6. Enhance human immune function and prevent side effects of antibiotics, Anti-aging, longevity and longevity;

  7. Enhance the body’s non-specific and specific immune response;

  8. The effect of controlling endotoxemia;

  9 , Improve the host''s tolerance to radiation.
