Get to know milk microbes. B. infantis is a vital bacteria found in human milk, that contributes to the development of the infant's immune system. They promote a reduction in overall inflammation and help to crowd out pathogenic bacteria by eating food sources available. They also produce short chain fatty acids that impact adipose tissue, the lungs, the brain, and the liver. This produces positive effects on the metabolism. They also decrease intestinal permeability, potentially reducing the risk of leaky gut later in life. Unfortunately, we are seeing the extinction of B. infantis in industrialized nations where cesarean birth, antibiotics, and other antimicrobial practices have hindered its continued presence in human milk.
