Lactobacillus bulgaricus isn’t just a bacterium—it’s a symbol of Bulgarian health and tradition. Discovered in 1905 by Dr. Stamen Grigorov, this unique probiotic strain forms the foundation of Bulgarian yogurt and is highly valued for its remarkable health benefits. Inspired by this legacy, we at Tomil Herb Bulgaria have created Laktoreya—a probiotic that delivers the power of Lactobacillus bulgaricus in a modern, easily absorbed form.
History and Discovery of Lactobacillus bulgaricus
In 1905, a young Bulgarian physician, Dr. Stamen Grigorov, investigated traditional Bulgarian yogurt and identified the bacterium responsible for its unique properties. His discovery quickly garnered worldwide scientific attention, making Lactobacillus bulgaricus a global symbol of health and longevity. The bacterium was named in honor of Bulgaria, the country where it naturally thrives.
Traditional Bulgarian yogurt, which contains Lactobacillus bulgaricus, has been a staple in the Bulgarian diet for centuries. Folklore suggests it was a key factor in the long life and robust health of Bulgarians, particularly in mountainous regions.
