What the evidence says
Some small trials of specific B. bifidum strains report modest effects on digestive symptoms, but as with related probiotic species, results are strain-specific and inconsistent across studies. The NIH notes that probiotic research generally has not established broad, reliable effects across products.
Context
Clinical trials report dosing in colony-forming units, typically in the billions per day, rather than a mass unit.
