Lactobacillus Bulgaricus

The full name of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus has been recently changed to Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies Bulgaricus and is the main bacteria used for the product of the original Bulgarian yoghurt known for its positive health effects. The reason this lactic bacteria is named after the country name Bulgaria is because it only lives in its natural form on the territory of Bulgaria. Any products claiming to contain Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and not manufactured in Bulgaria and very unlikely to contain the original and non-genetically modified Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus was first isolated by the Bulgarian scientist Stamen Grigoroff in 1905. Prior to that it was well known that the Bulgarian yoghurt had very positive effects on the human's health and its healing properties were famous, but it was unknown due to what reason those effects occurred. The Bulgarian yoghurt was also famous for prolonging the life of the population who consumed the product. * One of the important uses of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus is making yogurt. It helps in this process by fermenting lactose. * Another important function of Lactobacillus Bulgaricus is its ability to break down special enzymes like lactose in the body. This breaking down of enzymes helps the digestive process, especially for people who are lactose intolerant. * This helpful bacteria also helps other beneficial bacteria to grow which helps the immune system. * It can also help to metabolize lipids and keep cholesterol levels at a healthy level. * It can stop many infections in the body because of its antibiotic properties. It does this by producing acid which keeps out many bad bacteria. * Another way it keeps bad bacteria from over populating is by clinging on the intestinal walls. If these "friendly" bacteria cover the walls, then the bad bacteria that cause diseases will not be able to live here.
