Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB51: A Special Anti-Cancer Probiotic?
Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB51 originated from yogurt. It was first described by Dr. Ivan Bogdanov of the Laboratory for the Research and Production of Biologically Active Substances in Sofia, Bulgaria in the early 1950's. It belongs to the Lactobacillus acidophilus group of organisms and produces the D-lactic isomer of lactic acid and some amazing compounds.
This strain is deposited in the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) as #21815. Interestingly, it is listed in the ATCC catalog as Lactobacillus leichmannii strain Tumoronecroticance 51, but is also listed as Lactobacillus bulgaricus.

Where to Find Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB51?
In the US, Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB51 is found in Natren probiotics. Unlike many manufacturers, Natren only produces probiotics and their manufacturing practices are certified by a third-party international agency. They produce their probiotics in a pharmaceutical-grade facility and do their own culture maintenance, oil-encapsulation and freeze-drying process. Every step of the way is performed under continuous refrigeration to ensure maximum product life. The products are bottled in dark amber-glass with tin lids to prevent moisture and light from harming the products.
When you buy directly from Natren via my links, they always ship their probiotics with 2-day air shipping with blue ice and both blue ice and dry ice during hot summer months in specially-designed, thermally-controlled boxes to protect the potency. Natren does everything it can to guarantee that your probiotics will perform at their optimum levels through the expiration date on the label. That is why the links below will take you to the Natren website.
Another option for purchase in the US, Vitacost, is also listed below. Vitacost stores this product in the refrigerated section of their warehouse and will ship refrigerated probiotics with a cold pack. They recommend that you choose 1- or 2-day shipping.
Sorry, I do not have a resource for international readers.
