Probiotics support digestive health in several ways. Their beneficial effects have been attributed to their ability to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria in the gut and to create substances that help fuel and reinforce the barrier defense of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Probiotics work, in part, by forming a protective barrier in the intestinal tract and inhibiting the adhesion of bad bacteria and toxic substances.
Probiotics have been associated with improving the intestine’s immunologic barrier, and alleviating intestinal inflammatory response. Researchers have also reported that the transport of antigens (i.e., foreign invaders) across the gut lining increases in the absence of intestinal microflora. Furthermore, the capacity of the gut-associated immune cells to generate protective immune cells progressively increases with the establishment of the gut microflora.
The genus Bifidobacterium comprises numerous species that are normal inhabitants of the human gut. One of the most commonly found species in the gut is B. longum. B. lactis is the species most often included in functional foods and food supplements.
Probiotics are defined by their genus, species and strain. The ability of a probiotic to be effective has been found to be strain-specific. Multi-strain probiotic supplements provide a broad spectrum of benefits.
