Of significant notice is the last item listed: “A probiotic called Bifidobacteria may help some IBS patients.”

I’ve discussed at length some of the many benefits of probiotics, a topic that has no shortage of studies underway. Many people have experienced a significant positive impact in GI function due to regularly taking a probiotic.

Bifidobacteria is referenced in the article as general term for a probiotic. There are thousands of species belonging to the Bifidobacterium genus, three of which (B. longum, B. bifidum, B. lactis) are present in EndoMune.
