      LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS

      Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14® is a probiotic of human origin, a live microorganism that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit for the host. First isolated in 1900, it is a Gram-positive, non-spore forming, homofermentative, catalase-negative rod, which was first named Bacillus acidophilus. L. acidophilus are part of the human microbiota and have been cultured from the oral, digestive and vaginal tracts. It is also found in common dairy products. Most probiotics are either lactobacilli or bifidobacteria although some strains of other types have also reported to have probiotic properties. Ingestion of probiotics, or friendly bacteria, is beneficial to maintain the body's microbial balance, known to enhance intestinal health and the immune system.

      SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII

      Saccharomyces boulardii was discovered in 1923 in the tropical fruit lychee. It is a sub-species of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as Baker's yeast. S. boulardii is a widely studied type of probiotics and is a yeast found to be effective in a variety of infections, from treating acute pediatric diarrhea, in prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and other intestinal infections including traveler's diarrhea.

      S. boulardii can survive the human gastrointestinal tract due to its resistance to high temperature and low pH. It has been found to compete with diarrhea caused by pathogens for growth in the gut, which makes it effective for treating and preventing diarrhea.

    • Scientific Evidence
      HOW DO PROBIOTICS HELP MAINTAIN A BALANCED GUT MICROBIOME AND SUPPORT GASTROINTESTINAL CONDITIONS?

      Regarding Lactobacillus acidophilus La-14® and Saccharomyces boulardii, there is a certain amount of evidence to suggest that specific probiotic strains are able to stimulate and regulate several aspects of natural and acquired immune responses. This could be whether through stimulation of the gut immune system or modulation of immune cell production and function.1 One meta-analysis on 12 clinical studies indicates that probiotics significantly prevents traveler's diarrhea. Furthermore, among the probiotics tested, L. acidophilus and S. boulardii had significant efficacy, which demonstrates it can be a safe an effective method.2

    What is Lactobacillus acidophilus?

    Lactobacillus acidophilus is a micro-organism found in the natural flora of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, the human and animal digestive tract.

    Lactobacillus acidophilus

    Therapeutic use

    Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic. The name probiotic is only accepted by regulatory bodies for micro-organisms with demonstrated health benefits for the host. The strain discovered in humans in the 1970s has been studied extensively by scientists. Its genome was sequenced in 2005. Used in the composition of fermented milks, in food supplements as well as in baby formulas (for more than 25 years in the United States), this probiotic has been the subject of numerous scientific studies on health.

    It has been demonstrated that Lactobacillus acidophilus helps fight against the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. In order to survive in the digestive tract, probiotics must be able to adhere to the mucous membrane of the intestine. This property has also been proven. Lactobacillus is also known for its benefits for people who are lactose intolerant. Often suffering from bloating and digestive discomforts, it has been shown that people intolerant to lactose have seen the quality of their digestion improve.

    Lactobacillus acidophilus is a micro-organism found in the natural flora of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, the human and animal digestive tract and the vagina. It is present in milk, leaven and wine. This bacillus (rod-shaped) has an optimal growth in anaerobic and acidic environments (pH: 5.5-6.0).

    This microorganism was first discovered in 1900 by an Austrian pediatrician (Ernst Moro 1874-1951) who isolated the strain from the stool of an infant. He gave it the name bacillus acidophilus because of its remarkable tolerance to acidic environments. Twenty years later, the species described by Moro was moved by Holland to the genus lactobacillus. These 2 publications did not meet all the criteria required by bacterial nomenclature, and it was not until 1970 that Arne Hansen and George Mocquot gave a first valid description. Today, it is classified as a probiotic and is used as such in acidophilus fermented milks and as an intestinal anti-infective in the form of food supplements.

    My travel essential for a happy stomach

    I travel a lot for work, and I've always had trouble with my stomach when I'm on the road. This Gut Protector has been a lifesaver. I started taking it a few days before my last trip to las vegas and continued throughout. The capsules are easy to take and I had no issues with bloating or discomfort, which is a huge win for me. It's a great way to support your gut health and immune system when you're exposed to new environments and foods. This will definitely be in my carry on for every trip from now on.

    Nice

    These probiotics are packaged in small, travel-friendly packets that are easy to take on the go. I noticed less digestive discomfort during a recent trip, so they seem to support gut balance. The taste is very mild, almost chalky, but not unpleasant. They’re a bit expensive for everyday use but useful when traveling and eating less predictable foods.

    The caplets are too big, and have no effect on me

    I took one caplet as soon as I received these, because I did not want to bring these with me while traveling if they don’t work, I’m glad I did that.The first one (with 12.5 Billion CFU in it) didn’t seem to have any effect on me, so I took another one the next day -- still nothing. I don’t know how many times I have to take these to make them work, but I got side-tracked with something else and never took this again after that.I was hoping these would be my go-to option for emergencies when I’m traveling in another country, unfortunately they don’t work for me. On top of that, I don’t like the size of the caplet, it’s just too big for me. And there is also a smell to them.These caplets did not cause any stomach discomfort. 3star

    Decent supplement but a little pricey

    Because vitamins & supplements are not closely regulated it’s difficult to gauge the effectiveness of one brand versus another. All I can attest to is that my experience with this brand had no ill effects and that the price point is perhaps higher than average. I've used a similar supplement regularly and take an extra dose when I am having digestive problems
