Probiotics are defined as live, naturally occruing microorganisms which when administered or ingested in sufficient amount confer a positive health benefit on the host.

For example, for the probiotic bacterium, Bifidobacterium Longum (KB31), the genus is Bifidobacterium, the species is Longum and the strain is KB . Sometimes the company develops a marketing name for this strain and in this case, it is KB31.

Most probiotic products contain bacteria from the genera Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium, although other genera, including Escherichia, Enterococcus, Bacillus and Saccharomyces (a yeast) have been marketed as probiotics.

For our product, Kibow Biotics, there are 3 probiotic strains with a total of 30 million CFUs (Colony Forming Units).
