Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334

This strain comes from cheese fermentation and has a rich peptidase system, used to predigest milk proteins and lighten the gut's fermentation load.

Primary

Hydrolyzes casein and lightens the milk-protein load

It has a complete set of casein and milk-protein peptidases that cut large proteins into short peptides, leaving less undegraded protein for colonic putrefaction. Post-meal gas after cheese or other high-milk-protein meals is the matching setting. After casein is cut shorter, high-protein dairy meals such as cheese or a rich milk tea are less likely to ferment again in the gut.

Primary

Reduces protein putrefaction and post-meal bloating

When protein breakdown is more complete, amines and gas fall and the abdomen is less likely to swell. For people whose dairy digests slowly and whose waist expands after meals, this is the digestive role of an industrial fermented-dairy strain. With less amine gas, the need to loosen a waistband after a meal often changes before bowel frequency does, and waist measure stays steadier.
