The foundation of modern knowledge about the effects of lactobacilli and probiotics was laid at the beginning of the 20th century by the biologist Elias Metschnikoff.

Metchnikoff investigated in detail why the measured life expectancy of the Bulgarian rural population was statistically higher than that of other countries. He found his answer in the daily consumption of fermented dairy products and other lactic acid products.
These products are based on Lactobacillus bulgaricus.
Lacto Lux forte® contains over 40 billion active bacterial strains per capsule, with genetically unaltered strains of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus.
The coordinated bacterial cultures help each other to multiply.
Holistic effect: for skin, hair, nails, normal function of the gastrointestinal tract, immune system and metabolism
Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a bacterium that is normally found in your gut. It is considered a "good" type of bacteria and is present in dairy products. The chemical reactions triggered by fermentation cause milk proteins to coagulate, or clump together. This creates the thick, pudding-like texture of yogurt.
The human gastrointestinal tract, or intestines, is populated by beneficial bacteria called probiotics, which chemically convert sugars and other carbohydrates into acids. This acidic environment inhibits the growth of unhealthy bacteria that cause disease. Lactobacillus bulgaricus is a transient probiotic. It is not permanently present in the intestines, but it has a positive effect on the intestinal environment as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract.
Not all microorganisms are created equal. This is precisely the difference between Bulgarian and "normal" German refrigerated yogurt. In Bulgaria, it's Lactobacillus bulgaricus that thickens traditional yogurt, as it does in Greece and Turkey. In Western Europe, it's a rarity. Bulgaria has even established an institute specifically to cultivate these original Bulgarian strains of bacteria in order to preserve their purity.
