Did you know? Sécuril® is a special type of bacteria known as Propionibacterium freudenreichii, named for its ability to produce huge amounts of propionic acid (or propionate). It also produces acetate and carbon dioxide. It has been used for centuries to make Swiss and Emmental cheeses. The propionate and acetate contribute to the nutty and sweet flavour of these cheeses, and the carbon dioxide is what makes the characteristic holes in these types of cheeses (contrary to popular belief, they are not made by mice). In fact, these types of cheeses contain about 1 billion liver bacteria per gram – you could get a therapeutic dose of Sécuril® by eating 100g of Swiss or Emmental per day, but that's a lot of cheese you'd need to eat every day to stay healthy! 1.

Sécuril® - For Support of Intestinal Balance
MORE DETAIL: Sécuril® is a special type of bacteria known as Propionibacterium freudenreichii, named for its ability to produce huge amounts of propionic acid (or propionate). It also produces acetate and carbon dioxide. It has been used for centuries to make Swiss and Emmental cheeses. The propionate and acetate contribute to the nutty and sweet flavour of these cheeses, and the carbon dioxide is what makes the characteristic holes in these types of cheeses[1] (contrary to popular belief, they are not made by mice). In fact, these types of cheeses contain about 1 billion live bacteria per gram - you could get a therapeutic dose of Sécuril® by eating 100g of Swiss or Emmental per day, but that's a lot of cheese you'd need to eat every day!
BACTERIA AND YOUR HEALTH: The Propionibacteria in Sécuril® are not bacteria that normally live in the human gut, but because they make propionic acid, the favorite food of your own Bifidobacteria, it provides them with the food that allows them to grow naturally. As such, Sécuril® is a prebiotic, helping to maintain growth and levels of your own healthy bacteria.[2] Sécuril® is also a probiotic, since when supplemented it can live in your gut.
Every company claims that their probiotic bacteria are best for you. The only problem with this theory is that no matter what bacteria they're selling, it is not your bacteria. Their bacteria do not reflect the unique balance of bacteria found within your own gut, and some studies suggest that these foreign bacteria may actually displace your own healthy bacteria.
To be healthy you need a balance of bacteria in your gut. The average person has about 100 trillion bacteria (more than the number of cells in your entire body) and more than 400 different species of bacteria have been identified able to live in your gut, although only 30-40 species are common. These bacteria constitute an ecosystem all on their own. There are two very important types of bacteria to help your ecosystem stay in balance: Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus acidophilus (the latter is found in fermented foods like yogurt or sauerkraut).
However, the Bifidobacteria appear to be the dominant healthy bacteria, outnumbering Lactobacillus strains by about 1000:1. Five strains of Bifidobacteria are common in humans, but each person will have their own unique ratio of the five, and this will change with age and in response to environmental factors. The five common strains of Bifidobacter include B. infantis, B. adolescentis, B. bifidum, B. longum, and B. breve. Sécuril® provides the food that allows growth of all Bifidobacteria, so your body can maintain its own unique, health-promoting combination of the different stains. The Bifidobacteria levels remain high in your gut only while they have adequate food and stimulation to grow.
