Buy Bacterial Cultures – Preparations with a Defined CFU Count

Bacterial cultures are living microorganisms, mostly lactic acid bacteria from the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium as well as related strains. They are specifically cultivated, dried and brought into preparations in a defined amount. In this category, you'll find bacterial cultures from Scheunengut – with a stated CFU count, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The individual strains are cultivated under controlled conditions and then gently freeze-dried. This keeps the number of colony-forming units (CFU) per portion stable. Many preparations combine several strains into a culture complex.

Standardisation & Format

The decisive factor is the declared CFU count per daily dose or per gram – figures range from a few billion to over 100 billion CFU/g. Bacterial cultures are available as a capsule, powder or lozenge, often with several strains and complementary ingredients such as vitamin D.

What to Look for When Buying

  • Transparently declared CFU count per portion
  • Number and naming of the bacterial strains contained
  • Vegan, without unnecessary additives
  • Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Bacterial Cultures

What are bacterial cultures and what are they used for?

Bacterial cultures are live micro-organisms, usually lactic acid bacteria from the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. They are specifically cultivated and incorporated into preparations in a defined quantity. People mainly use them to supply the body with selected bacterial strains in a reliable, measurable amount.

What does the CFU count mean?

CFU stands for colony-forming units and indicates how many viable bacteria are contained per serving or gram. Figures range from a few billion to over 100 billion CFU per gram. This figure is the key measure of quality, which is why you should specifically look for a declared CFU count when buying.

What is a multi-strain culture complex?

Many preparations combine several bacterial strains into a culture complex, rather than containing just a single strain. This allows a product to cover a broader range. The cultures are often supplemented with further ingredients too. Our bacterial cultures come with a stated CFU count, and are vegan and lab-tested.

What forms are bacterial cultures available in?

Bacterial cultures are available as capsules, powder or lozenges. To keep the colony-forming unit count stable, the strains are cultivated under controlled conditions and gently freeze-dried. Which form suits you best depends on your preference and intended use.
