La-5® Lactobacillus acidophilus, BB-12® bifidobacterium, Lc-01® Lactobacillus Casei

Jalna Dairy Foods use the La-5® Lactobacillus acidophilus, BB-12® bifidobacterium, Lc-01® Lactobacillus Casei strains of probiotics in their Yoghourts and dairy drinks. Different probiotics have different functions. Even within the same class of bacteria there can be variations in the benefits from probiotic ingestion.

The level of daily intakes of probiotics used in research with demonstrated health benefits usually is one billion cfu per day. Monitoring of probiotic levels in Jalna dairy foods demonstrate levels well in excess of I billion cfu per serve remaining in excess of one billion per serve for the full shelf life.

Food Standards Australia and New Zealand requires that fermented products contain 1,000,000 cfu per gram. Jalna products contain at least 3 times that amount for the life of the product (see the table in Probiotic Numbers).

To gain the benefits of probiotics, most studies have used daily doses although some research shows colonization by probiotics of the large intestine which can last several days. A standard serve of each Jalna dairy food contains more than 1 billion probiotic count even at end of shelf life.
