Bifidobacteria are a group of beneficial bacteria that reside primarily in the intestines. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut and overall well-being and keep your immune system strong. I am hearing more and more that many people have diminished Bifidobacteria. If you don't have enough Bifidobacteria, your immune system struggles, and you can wind up with autoimmune diseases, food allergies, histamine problems, and more. Here are some of the things that bifidobacteria can do.
