A unique probiotic strain that works both alive and inactivated or heat-treated
Probiotics are live microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. However, the beneficial health effect of a microorganism can be due to its celular components, not needing the organism to be alive for it to perform its function. We have demonstrated by means of our animal trials as well as in our human clinical study, that BPL1 also works when killed by heat-treatment (121 °C, 30 min). In other words, the efficacy and viability of the strain remains the same regardless its form (i.e. alive or inactivated/heat-treated).
This represents a disruption within the probiotics space. With BPL1, we can offer a unique Bifidobacterium strain with a strong scientific dossier that can be added to any F&B and Dietary Supplement application, especially those ones where traditional probiotics could not be added before due to technological reasons.

This types of synergies are exemplified by the
combination of heat-treated BPL1 with the dietary and highly functional soluble fiber Fibersol. A synergistic effect in fat reduction was observed when the two ingredients where combined in three different types of beverages.
