There are various probiotic products on the market; finding one suitable to your personal health goals and needs will depend on many variables.
Different bacteria perform various functions and can cooperate to maximize each other’s benefits – much like how different players on a sports team each have specialized roles to fulfill.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is widely recognized for its ability to ease symptoms associated with lactose intolerance, improve digestive function and support immune functions. Furthermore, studies indicate it helps prevent and treat vaginal infections and urinary tract infections.
Lactobacillus Acidophilus
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic found naturally in many foods. It can be found in fermented items like sauerkraut, miso and tempeh as well as added to cheese to increase palatability. Studies have also demonstrated its many health benefits – including lowering high cholesterol levels.
Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms used to increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in your gut, aiding with digestive health and immune system functioning. Their balance can become disrupted due to factors like environment, stress or illness; symptoms include gas, bloating and hard or loose stools resulting from which probiotics can restore.
Probiotics include Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, Bifidobacterium breve and Lactobacillus paracasei – these bacteria can all be found in Peptiva as well as Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, Valerian root extract and Melatonin for enhanced effectiveness.
Probiotics can be invaluable tools in treating digestive conditions like IBS, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Additionally, probiotics may assist with antibiotic-induced diarrhea as well as vaginal infections and even help lower cholesterol and improve symptoms associated with IBS.
Probiotics are proven to boost immune function and aid in fighting infection, reduce risk for inflammatory bowel diseases and help protect against allergies like pollen allergy. Furthermore, probiotics protect intestinal lining while increasing food absorption rates and absorption rates for optimal nutrition intake.
Balance between good and bad bacteria in your digestive tract is essential for optimal health. Environment, stress, and illness can deplete good bacteria causing symptoms like bloating, stomach pain and constipation – probiotics may provide a solution by replacing these good bacteria to relieve symptoms and restore balance – helping digestion increase, absorption of vitamins/minerals/metabolize mycotoxins increase, chronic constipation reduced as well as reductions in bloating/abdominal pain being relieved and even lessen chances of fungal infection within our bodies!
Bifidobacterium Bifidum
Bifidobacterium is an anaerobic bacterium that forms symbiotic relationships with mammals, particularly humans. As part of our gut microbiota and taken as a probiotic supplement, it has been demonstrated to confer numerous health benefits – improving immunity, relieving symptoms of IBS, improving physical and psychological health, as well as maintaining homeostasis of our intestinal microbiota ecosystem.
Studies have demonstrated that bifidobacterium strains possess antibacterial properties against E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Streptococcus mutans, and Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. Furthermore, they form biofilms with other gut microorganisms to suppress multidrug resistant strains while activating immune systems while supporting other members of the microbiota community.
One of the key therapeutic properties of Bifidobacterium is its ability to shorten diarrheal episodes associated with rotavirus infections, as evidenced by studies using Lactobacillus GG (LGG). Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC15697 also appears to produce this effect and significantly reduced incidence and duration of Rotavirus shedding among hospitalized children.
Bifidobacterium bifidum has also been demonstrated to act as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of other beneficial bacteria within the digestive tract. A 2011 study concluded that using probiotics that included both B. bifidum and L. casei improved intestinal absorptive function and motility among patients suffering from short bowel syndrome.
Animal studies have demonstrated bifidobacterium’s anti-inflammatory benefits; for instance, strains expressing sortase-dependent pili are capable of encouraging aggregation among other gut microorganisms, suppressing inflammation, preventing colonic ulceration and even helping protect against obesity-induced vascular dysfunction by decreasing nitric oxide production; furthermore it helps prevent gut complications caused by experimental chronic liver disease models as well as cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease models by inhibiting expression of amyloid beta-induced genes.
Bifidobacterium Longum
Bifidobacterium longum is a probiotic bacteria (good microbe) found in your gut that produces lactic acid and other components to aid in optimal digestive functioning and protect you against harmful ones that could otherwise lead to illness. You can find B. longum both through food sources and from others’ stool, making this probiotic suitable for treating stomach ailments, diarrheal conditions such as IBD, lung infections and other health conditions.
Your intestines host trillions of different microorganisms known as your gut microbiome, and their interaction is what determines your overall health. Environment, stress and other factors can destroy beneficial bacteria balancing out beneficial bad ones and alter this equilibrium; leading to symptoms like bloating, gas, hard or loose stools and other issues. Probiotics are designed to add more good bacteria into the system in order to alleviate symptoms and restore equilibrium.
Bifidobacterium, with over 50 species and strains, is capable of colonizing humans and other animals’ intestines, being one of the first microorganisms to enter newborn and infant intestinal tracts. Bifidobacterium longum produces FimM – an important surface protein which binds with fibrinogens to protect intestinal mucus layer from pathogen invasion.
Probiotics also produce short-chain fatty acids that provide fuel during times of digestive strain, helping reduce inflammation caused by various conditions or medications. These short-chain fatty acids help replenish energy stores in the gut to aid in healing and alleviate discomfort in times of distress.
Additionally, B. longum CCFM752 supernatants have been found to produce antioxidant compounds which may protect against the negative impacts of oxidative stress. A recent study demonstrated how B. longum CCFM752 supernatants increased activity levels of catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes found in human cells while simultaneously decreasing levels of ROS production in cells.
Even with promising results from various clinical trials, more research needs to be conducted before concluding that probiotic supplements containing Bifidobacterium longum are safe and effective treatments for various health issues. It has the ability to alleviate disease symptoms while helping prevent illnesses; suggesting its potential role in human health from early childhood through adulthood.
Streptococcus Acidophilus
Streptococcus thermophilus is a probiotic bacteria commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and cheese, as well as in dietary supplements and fermented food items like sauerkraut. These products utilize its ability to produce lactic acid for flavor enhancement purposes while serving as an effective prebiotic that increases beneficial bacteria within the gut.
One of the primary advantages of probiotic bacteria is their ability to survive harsh stomach conditions such as bile and gastric acid, making them easily pass through to intestinal tract intact and stimulate other probiotics to flourish in digestive system, helping prevent diarrhea while improving overall gut health. Additional beneficial properties of probiotic bacterium include its capacity to reduce allergic symptoms and strengthen immunity system function.
Additionally, this bacterium produces short-chain fatty acids which provide energy to colon cells while protecting them from harmful organisms. Furthermore, this bacteria reduces inflammation in the intestines while simultaneously increasing production of nitric oxide to increase blood flow and regulate nitric oxide production for blood flow improvement. Finally, they have also been known to prevent cancerous cell growth as well as lower cholesterol levels within the body.
However, the exact health-related traits associated with probiotic strains vary, making identification crucial in intervention studies. Without an appropriate taxonomy system in place it would be impossible to accurately evaluate their efficacy.
Many health practitioners recommend probiotic supplementation during antibiotic treatments to replenish “friendly” bacteria that have been destroyed by medication, in order to alleviate side effects like gas, stomach discomfort, hard or loose stools as well as treat chronic digestive conditions like IBS. Probiotics have even been known to treat chronic intestinal conditions like Crohn’s disease.
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces boulardii work in synergy to help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea, reduce risk for Clostridium difficile infections and provide relief of symptoms caused by eczema in both children and adults.
