What are " Probiotics"?

Probiotics are live microorganisms.

Probiotics come from the Latin word meaning "to live with." Probiotics are living bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms that have the ability to improve our health. Our gut is home to 100 trillion bacteria, but many different bacteria can harm or benefit our bodies. Probiotics are called "good bacteria" and work to improve the balance of bacteria in our gut and make our gut healthier.

What are the requirements for a Probiotic?

Probiotics improve our health, but they must fulfill several requirements to be called probiotics.

• To work well in the intestines, they must reach the intestines alive and not die in the stomach.
• They must suppress the growth of harmful bacteria.
• Other intestinal bacteria that are beneficial to humans must be able to multiply.
• It must be effective for the maintenance of human health.
• It must be safe.

Nutrients of the gut

The most common representatives of probiotics are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Probiotics have a variety of functions, but they also serve as nutrients for the good bacteria that originally live in the gut and help them multiply. Besides taking probiotics, it is effective to bring more nutrients to the intestinal bacteria to improve the bacteria in the gut. These nutrients are called prebiotics and are best represented by dietary fiber and oligosaccharides. The intestinal bacteria ferment dietary fiber into substances called short-chain fatty acids. Short-chain fatty acids include acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These short-chain fatty acids aid the growth of beneficial bacteria. Normal cells are mainly supplied with glucose, but the cells on the intestine’s surface are primarily provided with these short-chain fatty acids.

Examples of major foods containing probiotics

Foods that contain probiotics include fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles. Yogurt also contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, the most common probiotics, but commercial yogurt is processed by heat before the shipping, which kills most probiotics.

<6 types of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium + Saccharomyces boulardii>

■ L. Acidophilus (La-14)

L. acidophilus is a bacterium found in the small intestine. It is used, for example, to ferment yogurt.　L. acidophilus ferments carbohydrates to produce lactic acid. This lactic acid enhances the absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, and manganese. L. acidophilus prevents the growth of harmful bacteria by producing lactic acid. L. acidophilus also prevents the adhesion of E. coli to intestinal cells.

■ L. Paracasei (Lpc-37)

L. paracasei prevents the adverse effects of harmful bacteria. It also enhances immune function by increasing the activity of immune T-helper cells and the production of IgA antibodies.

■ L. Plantarum (Lp-115)

L. plantarum is a bacterium widely present in fermented foods; L. plantarum inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. It also supports balancing inflammation by reducing the generation of inflammation-inducing substances (IL-8).

■ L. Rhamnosus (GG)

L. rhamnosus has an excellent ability to adhere to the intestinal tract, maintain intestinal flora balance, and inhibit the attachment of harmful bacteria; L. rhamnosus has been shown to maintain normal inflammation and immune balance, increase natural killer cell activity and relieve unfavorable GI conditions.

■ B. Bifidum(Bb-02)

B. bifidum prevents the growth of harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

■ B. Lactis(BI-04)

B. lactis is found primarily in the large intestine. It prevents harmful bacteria from attaching to and invading the intestinal tract. It also balances the immune response in allergy-sensitive individuals.  Studies using B. lactis have shown an effect on the reduction of intestinal permeability.

■ Saccharomyces boulardii

Saccharomyces boulardii is used to treat certain acute diarrhea. It also prevents the formation of substances that cause inflammation.
