"Lactobacillus bifidus" is not a scientifically recognised bacterial name . It probably means any of the 21 species of Bifidobacterium, but without knowing which species this is, it is impossible to answer this question.

Lactobacillus bifidus growth is encouraged by prebiotic fibers, such as inulin and fructooligosaccharides, which serve as food for the bacteria. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota through a diverse diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fermented foods can also support the growth of Lactobacillus bifidus. Additionally, minimizing antibiotic use and supporting a healthy immune system can help create an environment conducive to the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus bifidus.

Is there a difference between L Bifidus and L Bifidus Regularis?

There is nothing as L. bifidus. There used to be a Lactobacillus bifidus, but since 1969 this may not be used anymore. It probably refers now to any strain of any of the more as 25 species of Bifidobacterium. Which basically means, that you have absolutely no idea to what it refers. Bifidobacterium animalis supsp. animalis strain (Acti)Regularis is a strain used by Danone in their Activia range. This is a well defined and described strain, which has scientifically proven health effects. So the difference is that one is a non existing unclear wrong name that non one knows what it means and a well defined starin. Ralf Hartemink, PhD Food Microbiologist
