Lactobacillus plantarum/rhamnosus/salivarius 100 Vegetarian Capsules (F)

Allergy Research Group’s Lactobacillus Plantarum/Rhamnosus/Salivarius provides you with three especially strong strains of lactobacillus, a beneficial type of probiotic bacteria. This strain has proven appropriate for people who may not experience significant benefits from the weaker strains of lactobacillus, such as acidophilus.

Extensive research has shown that the likely benefits of this supplement include the following:

• Several robust strains of lactobacilli
• Help maintaining a healthy balance of intestinal probiotics
• Promotion of the production of enzymes, vitamins, and organic acids that support healthy pH in the intestines
• Support for the structural and functional integrity of the epithelial lining in multiple ways
• A boost of immune response and support resistance levels

An intestinal system functioning at peak potential is critical to overall health. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is home to trillions of microorganisms; some of these are beneficial to the health, while others aren’t. The cells lining the intestines are called villi, and they form a single layer that absorbs digested matter. Friendly (probiotic) bacteria live while attached to the villi, finding nutrients while also providing benefits to their host.

The three probiotic Lactobacillus strains contained in Lactobacillus plantarum/rhamnosus/salivarius Vegetarian Capsules (F) are particularly useful.

Lactobacillus plantarum is a probiotic bacterium that was originally isolated from sourdough bread; it’s resistant to gastric acid and remains in the small intestine when ingested. L. plantarum generates lactic acid and bacteriocins. This probiotic also has very high lactase activity, and can deliver lactase throughout the stomach and small intestine in order to facilitate the digestion of lactose.

The second probiotic, Lactobacillus salivarius, has traditionally been used as a food supplement and in probiotic drinks in Asia. L. salivarius was originally located in the intestinal tract, but can also be located in certain dairy products and vegetables. It generates necessary lactic acid and bacteriocins, and is moderately active with regard to lactase.

Last but certainly not least is Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which was initially isolated in the intestinal tract. It has shown the ability to provide support for the activity of white blood cells. A diet containing probiotics may promote improved digestive health. Lactobacillus plantarum/rhamnosus/salivarius by Allergy Research Group can fill in some of the remaining gaps.
