Lactobacillus casei LC89

The Lactobacillus casei species have been developed and studied by food and health scientists and are often used to ferment foods such as cheese and yoghurts due to its ability to adapt and survive and a wide range of temperatures and pH levels. Strains of this species are very well documented and are widely used in probiotic formulations due the reported health benefits, specifically in relation to immune health and digestive health.

  • Production of antimicrobial substances – Bacteriocins are antimicrobial and produced by many organisms including lactic acid bacteria. L. casei displays antimicrobial ability against gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, thus supporting the growth of beneficial microbes and maintaining gut homeostasis. (Ullah N. et al., 2017).
  • Enhances gut barrier function – L. casei has been shown to provide a protective effect against alterations and impairments of gut barrier function.
  • Reduces the adhesion of pathogens – L. casei helps to inhibit the growth and inhabitancy of harmful pathogens within the gut by competing for space and adhering to intestinal surfaces on the gut lining. This helps support the growth of beneficial microbes within the gut.
  • Modulation of the immune system – Strains of L. casei support the immune system by increasing the activity of important immune cells that fight against infections and disease, and by altering the composition of gut bacteria.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRa05

Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a type of bacteria that produce the enzyme known as lactase. This enzyme breaks down the sugar found in dairy products (lactose) into lactic acid, a substance which helps to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut. It is a widely researched strain and is reported to have a number of health benefits.

Benefits

  • May Prevent and Treat Diarrhoea-Studies show that L. rhamnosus may help prevent or treat various types of diarrhoea.
  • IBS relief– animal studies have found that L. rhamnosus strains may strengthen gut barrier function, which in turn may help relieve IBS symptoms.
  • Overall Gut Health– According to studies, L. rhamnosus can prevent the overgrowth of Candida albicans (a type of harmful yeast when allowed to proliferate) in the intestines. L. rhamnosus also encourages the growth of other beneficial bacteria. Furthermore, L. rhamnosus helps increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which are thought to exert anti-inflammatory effects and act as a food source to other healthy bacteria, further encouraging a healthy microbiome.
