Lactobacillus

PREBIOTIC AND PROBIOTIC

Uses of Lactobacillus

  • Lactobacillus is an antidiarrheal and probiotic agent for treating diarrhoea due to antibiotics.
  • It is also used to reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and bacterial growth in the vagina.
  • It is also used to manage other conditions associated with an imbalance of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.

Side effects of Lactobacillus

  • Gas 
  • Bloating

How Lactobacillus works

  • Lactobacillus is a probiotic agent.  
  • It helps the gut microbiota by reestablishing the proper ratio of useful bacteria. It generates lactic acid, which makes the surrounding air acidic and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Furthermore, it strengthens the immune system, promoting digestive health and preventing the risk of infections.
