Lactobacillus JB-1 reduces anxiety

We explored how the treatment with JB-1—a type of probiotic bacteria—affects anxiety during chronic stress in rats. In our study, half of the twenty rats received JB-1 while the other half got a placebo over eight weeks of stress exposure.

The results were telling! Rats on JB-1 showed less anxiety and were more willing to explore their environment compared to the placebo group, which largely avoided exploration. Additionally, measurements of brain metabolites indicated that JB-1 helped maintain stability in brain chemistry, even in stressful conditions.

This suggests that lactobacillus rhamnosus might play a beneficial role in reducing anxiety during prolonged stress.

Jarrow Probiotics are wonderful. If you struggle with acid reflux or heartburn, this is the product for you. I used to suffer from both and went through numerous medications that worsened my condition. After being advised by someone at a whole foods store, I began using Jarrow probiotics, and thankfully, I no longer have any heartburn or acid reflux issues. It requires some time to experience the difference, and you need to take it regularly, but the results are worth it.

We investigated how the probiotic strain CCFM1274 can help alleviate allergic asthma symptoms. Using a mouse model, we administered CCFM1274 alongside ovalbumin, a common allergen, and observed positive results.

This treatment not only reduced weight loss and mortality but also improved inflammatory responses in the lungs. Notably, there was a decrease in specific immune markers, indicating CCFM1274 might adjust gut tryptophan metabolism beneficially, highlighting potential new strategies for asthma management.

We explored how probiotics affect ear infections in a study using twenty-four male Wistar rats. The rats were divided into groups to receive probiotics at different times related to induced ear effusion.

The results showed that the healing rate of ear effusions improved significantly with probiotics. Particularly, those that received probiotics both before and after the effusion showed a 100% healing rate. This suggests that probiotics may help reduce inflammation and support recovery in cases of otitis media with effusion.

Therefore, probiotics could serve as a helpful complementary treatment for individuals at risk of these ear infections.

Das S, Konwar BK. Inhibiting pathogenicity of vaginal Candida albicans by lactic acid bacteria and MS analysis of their extracellular compounds. APMIS. 2024;132:161. doi:10.1111/apm.13365

We explored how lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can combat the harmful effects of Candida albicans, the fungus responsible for yeast infections. Through our study, we found that the supernatant from LAB like Lactobacillus crispatus and L. gasseri effectively inhibited the growth and harmful activity of C. albicans.

Specifically, L. gasseri showed exceptional ability in preventing the formation of biofilms and hyphae, crucial stages in fungal development. Additionally, the metabolites produced by these bacteria downregulated key genes associated with C. albicans, reinforcing their role in maintaining vaginal health.

Overall, while the findings are promising, further research is needed to confirm the clinical effectiveness of these metabolites in treating or preventing yeast infections.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome details

Lactobacillus shows promise for IBS

Based on 55 Researches

Shanshal SA, Alsaaty MH, Al-Qazaz H, Al-Zidan RN. Two Lactobacilli strains as adjuvant therapy in the management of irritable bowel syndrome: a randomized control trial. Ceska Slov Farm. 2024;72:233.

We assessed the effectiveness of a probiotic blend of two Lactobacillus strains in treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) through a randomized, single-blinded trial. Involving 100 patients, one group received standard IBS treatment while the other added probiotics.

After 12 weeks, both groups experienced symptom relief, but the probiotic group showed a greater decrease in their IBS symptoms. Remarkably, all patients on probiotics either found complete symptom relief or had mild symptoms, compared to over 14% of those on standard treatment who still experienced moderate IBS.

Live unconditionally! I've noticed a significant improvement in my immune system, especially with my irritable bowel syndrome. Consuming yogurt daily and two eggs has made a tremendous difference alongside taking this product weekly. A family member had a heavy condition but improved dramatically within a week. I've seen excellent effects and have even gifted it to friends, who reported positive outcomes too. I truly trust this product for its effectiveness and lack of side effects.

Bloating details

Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates bloating

Based on 38 Researches

Agrawal A, Houghton LA, Morris J, Reilly B, Guyonnet D, et al. Clinical trial: the effects of a fermented milk product containing Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 on abdominal distension and gastrointestinal transit in irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2009;29:104. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2036.2008.03853.x

We conducted a study to see if a fermented dairy product with Bifidobacterium lactis DN-173 010 could help reduce bloating in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation. In a controlled trial with 34 participants over four weeks, we found that this probiotic significantly decreased abdominal girth and improved gastrointestinal transit times.

Patients reported feeling less bloated, and symptom severity also decreased. These findings suggest that fostering faster transit times may be an effective method to combat abdominal distension.

The best stable probiotic! I started taking Jarrow-Dophilus EPS, and after a little while, the bloating and flatulence diminished. My digestion improved significantly, and my stools became regular. I’m really satisfied with the results.

Heart Attack details

I did not notice any significant effects. Personally, I found it difficult to assess its impact as I dislike the original taste and do not suffer from constipation. I took one or two tablets daily but still found it ineffective. I have no intention of purchasing it again.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome details

Lactobacillus shows potential for CFS

Questionable

Based on 5 Researches

Singh PK, Chopra K, Kuhad A, Kaur IP. Role of Lactobacillus acidophilus loaded floating beads in chronic fatigue syndrome: behavioral and biochemical evidences. Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2012;24:366. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2982.2011.01861.x

In our investigation, we looked into whether Lactobacillus acidophilus can ease the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Rats were subjected to a swimming test to induce fatigue, which helped us measure their behavior.

We found that treatment with both free Lactobacillus and specially formulated beads reduced signs of fatigue and improved overall biochemical markers associated with CFS. This suggests that Lactobacillus could be a promising treatment option for CFS when delivered in the right way.

Probiotic improves IBS-C symptoms

We examined the effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus IDCC 3201 on patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). In a robust study involving 30 participants, we used a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design.

After eight weeks of treatment, the probiotic group reported significant improvements in bowel activities and discomfort linked to constipation. Notably, symptoms like abdominal bloating also improved.

Our findings suggest that this probiotic might help enhance gut health by promoting beneficial microbes and their metabolites.

I take these every morning on an empty stomach and am very pleased with the results. Bloating has decreased, and my digestion has improved, allowing for regular visits to the restroom. When I stop, constipation returns. After trying various probiotics, I find this one to be the best quality.

Diarrhea details

Bifidobacterium lactis reduced diarrhea duration

Based on 70 Researches

Chen K, Jin S, Ma Y, Cai L, Xu P, et al. Adjudicative efficacy of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BLa80 in treating acute diarrhea in children: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Eur J Clin Nutr. 2024;78:501. doi:10.1038/s41430-024-01428-6

We explored the impact of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BLa80 on diarrhea in young children through a well-structured, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.

Our findings show that children receiving the probiotic experienced a significantly shorter duration of diarrhea and a higher recovery rate compared to those given a placebo.

Notably, we also observed beneficial changes in gut microbiome composition and gene functions that promote immune response.

This evidence suggests that Bifidobacterium lactis can effectively support recovery from acute diarrhea in children.

Lb41 may protect liver health

We explored the effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lb41 on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice fed a high-fat diet. After treatment with Lb41, we observed significant reductions in body weight and harmful serum lipids, indicating its potential benefits.

Additionally, Lb41 appeared to alleviate liver damage and improve metabolic markers, suggesting a protective effect against fatty liver disease. While results are promising, further research is necessary to fully understand the implications for human health.

Six months post-appendectomy, I faced issues with bowel movements, but these probiotics have changed my life. After starting them, I found relief by the second week, and now my toilet visits are comfortable rather than distressing. My bowel function has normalised, and I’ve had no relapses since. I highly recommend them to others experiencing similar issues; they truly work wonders for me.

I had been searching for a good probiotic for some time, especially due to my chronic diseases and frequent antibiotics. However, I experienced severe stomach pain shortly after starting this product. Despite my efforts to persist, it wasn't worth it. I ended up giving it to a friend who suffers from constipation, and it proved beneficial for them.

Bone Pain details

Relief achieved quickly

Excellent working probiotics! After a course of strong antibiotics, my stomach and intestines were inflamed. Any food caused intense pain. I took these probiotics, four drops with each meal, and relief came within days. I recommend a course of at least one month with probiotics, enzymes, and l-carnitine. Your mucous membrane will thank you!

High Cholesterol details

Probiotic strain shows cholesterol promise

Based on 31 Researches

Liu X, Wang M, Hu T, Lin X, Liang H, et al. Safety assessment of potential probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus AM13-1 with high cholesterol-lowering capability isolated from human gut. Lett Appl Microbiol. 2024;77. doi:10.1093/lambio/ovad143

Our analysis focused on evaluating the cholesterol-lowering capabilities of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain AM13-1, isolated from a healthy individual.

We observed that this strain demonstrated a significant ability to remove cholesterol with a remarkable efficiency rate of 70%.

Additionally, the genome of AM13-1 revealed beneficial characteristics, including a lack of harmful factors and several probiotic-related genes.

However, our findings indicate that while the strain shows promise, more in-depth research is necessary to establish its practical benefits in everyday health.

I did not experience any positive effects from Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS. It failed to alleviate my constipation. I will revert to Yakult probiotics drink. Moreover, the pills arrived warm, potentially affecting their efficacy, and they had an unpleasant rubbery smell. Additionally, I encountered dry skin and minor acne after using it.

We examined how probiotics, particularly Lactobacillus rhamnosus, could help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in children. Through a review of 23 studies involving nearly 4,000 participants, we found that probiotics significantly reduced the incidence of diarrhea—8% in the probiotic group compared to 19% in the control group.

Importantly, we noted very few adverse events, emphasizing that probiotics appear safe as a preventative option. While current data is encouraging, further research is necessary before making broad recommendations for all pediatric patients.

Unbelievable! I never thought probiotics could help, but after taking just one capsule in the morning, my acid stomach pain vanished. I used to rely on Zantac frequently, but now I wake up without discomfort. I can hardly believe I’m finally free of the pain I’ve dealt with since childhood.
