[Effects of Probiotics] 3 Reasons Why You Should Choose a Strain that Has Been Sufficiently Verified by Academia

Methods for suppressing human infection by viruses are continuously being researched. In particular, research is continuing on substances that can protect mucosal cell walls that are vulnerable to infection, and surface layer proteins are attracting attention as a type of protective substance.

Focusing on the fact that this surface layer protein is commonly found in bacteria of the Lactobacillus genus, a paper studying the antiviral mechanism of Lactobacillus acidophilus was published in Front Microbiol in 2019.

It is a leading hypothesis in academic that intestinal flora influences the development of functional intestinal diseases. Accordingly, research to find combinations of fungal species and strains that can contribute to improving intestinal diseases by changing the composition of the intestinal flora has been actively conducted since the 2010s.

The paper I will introduce now is a paper published in J Clin Gastroentero in 2011, which shows that the combination of NCFM, a representative strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bi-07, a representative strain of Bifidobacterium lactis, improves functional intestinal diseases. We are reporting the results of clinical trials evaluating the impact on

The fact that probiotics can contribute to strengthening the immune system is now well-known by many. In academia, research on the specific strains of probiotics and their mechanisms contributing to immune function enhancement continues, with reports accumulating consistently.

In a paper published in J Nutr Sci in 2013, the research delves into the immune-enhancing mechanisms of the representative strain Bi-07 of Bifidobacterium lactis, suggesting implications for elderly health management.
