About Probiotics - Probiotics
are live microorganisms (in most cases,
bacteria) that are similar to beneficial
microorganisms found in the human gut.
They are also called "friendly bacteria"
or "good bacteria." One widely used
definition, developed by the World Health
Organization and the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations,
is that probiotics are "live microorganisms,
which, when administered in adequate
amounts, confer a health benefit on
the host." Probiotics are available
to consumers mainly in the form of dietary
supplements and foods...[Read

Intestinal Microflora and Probiotics
- Bacteria are introduced
into the digestive tract as babies pass
through the birth canal. Additional
bacteria are supplied by breast-feeding
and the environment. Within one to two
days after birth, various microflora
have colonized the gastrointestinal
tract and become organized into the
mix of populations that, with some notable
exceptions, will remain relatively stable
along the GI tract throughout life.
This microflora is divided into three
primary groups...[Read

Lactococcus diacetylactis R0100: Lactococcus
lactis is a Gram-positive bacteria used
extensively in the production of buttermilk
and cheese[1], but has recently also
become famous as the first genetically
modified organism to be used alive for
the treatment of human disease [2].
L. lactis are cocci that group in pairs
and short chains, and depending on growth
conditions appears ovoid with typically
0.5 - 1.5 µm in length. L. lactis
do not produce spores (non-sporulating)
and are not motile (non-motile)...[Read

Bifidobacterium breve R0070:
It readily adheres to human intestinal
cells and blocks the adherence of pathogenic
bacteria, such as E.Coli. B.breve strains
have been shown to have beneficial effects
on cholesterol levels.
Rosell 70 is anaerobic. Consequently,
it cannot colonize the upper part of
the intestine where the concentration
of oxygen is high. However, it grows
very well in the colon. The strain is
only moderately resistant to gastric
acid, but grows very well in the presence
of bile...[Read
