Assured survival and patented protection technologies

The properties and activity of lactic acid bacteria depend on their viability in the gastrointestinal tract of the host where they primarily act.

The path from production to intestine is challenging and here must the bacterial strains survive many stresses. Their resilience is linked to a number of different factors. To ensure optimal survival of the lactic acid bacteria, both for individual strains and for different compositions, Lallemand Health Solutions has over the years developed a number of its own protection techniques, including:


BIO-SUPPORT™ is the result of Lallemand's unique competence in choosing the right strain and in-depth fermentation knowledge. This technology combines the selection of optimal strains with natural resistance to stomach acid and bile salts with a proprietary protection technology consisting of proteins and polysaccharides. All lactic acid bacteria strains produced by Lallemand Health Solutions are treated with this technology, which guarantees optimal protection from manufacturing to the tough passage through the gastrointestinal tract.

Why do lactic acid bacteria need to be protected?

Lactic acid bacteria are living microorganisms that must reach the intestine alive in sufficient numbers. This survival is largely linked to the characteristics of the strains. Their natural stability is very important in the selection process. Therefore, Lallemand Health Solutions has documented survival for all strains. But also production conditions, interactions with other ingredients, storage conditions and finally the tough digestion have an effect, and there BIO-SUPPORT™ plays an important role.

S.Boulardii - The probiotic yeast that saves the holidays

The year is 1923. The French microbiologist Henri Boulard is traveling through Southeast Asia and finds himself in the middle of a cholera epidemic. He discovers that the locals make tea from the peel of lychee and mangosteen fruit to relieve the acute diarrhea caused by cholera, which makes him curious.

The importance of eating lactic acid bacteria

Poor diet and a lifestyle with high stress expose the intestinal flora to great challenges. It is known today that the species richness and amount of bacteria in the intestinal flora is affected by how we live and what we eat, and that the greater the species richness of the intestinal flora, the better resistance we have to disease and imbalance.
