Primary

Makes stools more formed and soft

This strain produces large amounts of acetate and lactate, changing colonic osmotic pressure and pulling over-dried pellet stools and under-absorbed mush toward formed soft stools. People whose stools swing between dry and loose often see stool form move toward the middle first, with less straining.

Primary

Maintains acid-producing dominance in the colon

Adhesion and acid-production data are complete, suiting restoration of an acid-producing bifidobacteria base first after diarrhea or an antimicrobial course has disrupted the community. Later fiber fermentation then has organisms to take up. What is felt mostly is whether stool form returns to formed soft stools.
