Probiotics may shorten diarrhea duration
Effects of probiotics in children with acute gastroenteritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on probiotics utilized in Japan.
Most Relevant Research
We looked into how effective probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus and others commonly available in Japan, are in treating diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis in children.
In our analysis of 14 studies, we found that children who took probiotics had diarrhea lasting about one day shorter and fewer were hospitalized compared to those receiving a placebo.
However, the overall evidence is considered very low, suggesting that while there might be some benefits, more research is needed.

Cured my heartburn
Most Useful Review
The acidophilus bacillus resides in the stomach and is the only helpful bacteria able to thrive in such an acidic environment. It prevents Helicobacter pylori from settling there. Thanks to acidophilus sticks, my stomach is healthy, preventing heartburn. When the stomach is very acidic, the sphincter between the stomach and the oesophagus closes tightly, keeping the stomach's contents from entering the oesophagus, thus alleviating heartburn. This is how I overcame reflux esophagitis that troubled me for years.

Synbiotic improves digestive health
Beneficial effects of a synbiotic supplement on self-perceived gastrointestinal well-being and immunoinflammatory status of healthy adults.
Most Relevant Research
This study looked into how a specific synbiotic product, which includes Lactobacillus acidophilus along with other probiotics and fructooligosaccharides, affects digestive health among healthy adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, we monitored 36 participants—20 women and 16 men aged between 25 and 45 years—over six weeks.
Participants received either the synbiotic supplement or a placebo, taking three tablets daily. We gathered information on gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel habits through a self-administered questionnaire, focusing especially on those who experienced digestive disturbances like mild dyspepsia or bloating.
The results were promising; those who took the synbiotic product reported significant improvements in their overall gastrointestinal well-being and bowel movements. Interestingly, we also noted a reduction in a specific immune marker, L-selectin, in the synbiotic group, which could indicate a favorable shift in their immune profile. However, while the improvements in gut health were noteworthy, none of the other immunological parameters were significantly altered.
In summary, this study suggests that including Lactobacillus acidophilus as part of a synbiotic supplement can lead to better digestive comfort and may influence immune-related markers positively. However, pinpointing the exact effect of this specific strain on indigestion alone is challenging, given the multi-strain nature of the synbiotic treatment.

Lactobacillus aids pigs' health
Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces fermentation products impact performance and the fecal microbiome in weanling pigs inoculated with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation products on weanling pigs that were challenged with a harmful strain of bacteria known as enterotoxigenic F4 Escherichia coli (F4-ETEC). To better understand this, we conducted a detailed study involving eighty pigs, which were divided into five groups based on different diets. This included a control diet, as well as diets supplemented with various fermentation products and zinc oxide.
After inoculating the pigs with F4-ETEC to simulate infection, we observed significant changes in the pigs’ fecal microbiome when they were given a combination of Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces products. These changes in the microbiome were previously linked to better growth performance and overall health in young pigs.
Interestingly, the pigs receiving both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae products showed an increase in final live weight. This suggests that using these postbiotics could help manage performance issues associated with ETEC without needing to eliminate the bacteria entirely from the pigs' environment. Therefore, while Lactobacillus acidophilus was not the sole hero in this study, its combined use proved beneficial in combatting the negative effects of this bacterial challenge.

Probiotics reduce flu symptoms
Probiotic effects on cold and influenza-like symptom incidence and duration in children.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how Lactobacillus acidophilus could help reduce cold and flu-like symptoms in young children during the winter months. In this well-structured study, 326 children aged 3 to 5 participated. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: one received a placebo, while the others were given either Lactobacillus acidophilus alone or in combination with another probiotic, Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis.
Over a period of six months, the children in both probiotic groups reported significantly fewer symptoms and shorter durations of ailments compared to those on the placebo. For instance, the incidence of fever dropped by 53% to 73%, while coughing and rhinorrhea (a runny nose) also saw impressive reductions. Children taking probiotics needed antibiotics much less often and missed fewer days of childcare due to illness.
Overall, this study suggests that incorporating daily Lactobacillus acidophilus into children's diets can be an effective approach to bolster their health during flu season. It shows promise as a safe and helpful way to reduce common winter illnesses in young kids.

MENOLACTO alleviates menopausal symptoms
The Effect of YT1 (MENOLACTO) on Improving Menopausal Symptoms: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Most Relevant Research
This study explored how MENOLACTO, a form of lactobacillus acidophilus, can help women manage menopausal symptoms. We conducted a rigorous, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with women aged 40 to 60, measuring the effectiveness through various symptom scores and quality of life assessments.
After 12 weeks, we observed a significant decrease in total menopausal symptom scores compared to placebo. Participants also reported improvements across all quality of life metrics. However, we found no notable differences in hormone levels or endometrial thickness between the groups. Overall, MENOLACTO showed promise as a supportive option for alleviating menopause symptoms.

Feeling better
Most Useful Review
I have felt improvement since switching to this royal jelly. Five years ago, I became ill and suspect it might be menopause. After trying various treatments without success, I found this royal jelly has helped me feel naturally sleepy at night and more energised during the day. Though I still experience hot flashes, my anxiety has decreased, and my mental state feels more stable. I want to continue using it, but I’m devastated that sales seem to have ended.

Lactobacillus KBL409 reduces atopic dermatitis
Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis in a Mouse Model.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 on atopic dermatitis (AD) using a house dust mite-induced mouse model. The treatment notably lowered dermatitis symptoms and reduced immune cell infiltration in the skin. Additionally, it decreased levels of specific immune markers and increased anti-inflammatory responses.
L. acidophilus KBL409 also positively influenced gut microbiota and certain metabolites. The findings suggest that this probiotic may offer a promising approach to managing AD through immune system modulation and gut health improvement.

Probiotics may reduce diarrhea duration
Effects of probiotics in children with acute gastroenteritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on probiotics utilized in Japan.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the impact of Lactobacillus acidophilus and other probiotics on children suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Our systematic review included randomized controlled trials comparing probiotics to placebos, focusing on strains available in Japan.
Although we found that probiotics like Lactobacillus acidophilus might shorten diarrhea duration by roughly one day, the evidence is not very strong.
Overall, while there were some positive signs in our findings, we recommend more research to confirm these effects and improve treatment strategies.

Lactobacillus drink benefits IBS-C
Clinical assessment and cytokines level in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome participants treated with Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the impact of a Lactobacillus-containing cultured milk drink on individuals with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). Over 30 days, participants consumed this drink daily while we assessed their clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers.
Impressively, 97.4% reported improvement in symptoms, along with noticeable reductions in intestinal transit time and fecal pH. Evidence also showed lowered levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in IBS-C participants, supporting potential adjunctive benefits of this treatment for IBS-C patients.

Lactobacillus association with pelvic pain
Urinary Microbiome and Cytokine Levels in Women With Interstitial Cystitis.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the urinary microbiome of women with interstitial cystitis and found it less diverse and containing fewer Lactobacillus acidophilus compared to a control group.
This lack of Lactobacillus was linked to more severe symptoms and poor quality of life. While we noted some associations between higher inflammatory markers and the severity of symptoms, we didn’t see a clear causal relationship.
Essentially, we’re still unsure if the presence of Lactobacillus can effectively reduce pelvic pain in this context.

Probiotics improve constipation symptoms
Impact of a probiotic chewable tablet on stool habits and microbial profile in children with functional constipation: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
Most Relevant Research
We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 92 children aged 4 to 12 with functional constipation. Over four weeks, we provided one group with a probiotic chewable tablet containing specific strains and compared their experiences to a placebo group.
The findings were promising; the probiotic group reported a significant improvement in stool frequency and a decrease in hard defecation. Specifically, hard stools decreased from 43% to 14%, while normal defecation increased from 56% to 80%. This study highlights the potential of probiotics as a valuable option for managing constipation in children.

Lactobacillus acidophilus helps eczema
Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis in a Mouse Model.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the potential of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 in addressing atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema. By using a mouse model induced by house dust mites, we found that administering this probiotic led to significantly lower dermatitis scores and less immune cell infiltration in the skin.
Additionally, L. acidophilus KBL409 reduced serum immunoglobulin E and influenced various cytokines linked to inflammation. It also positively affected gut microbiota and concentrations of beneficial compounds, hinting at a broader impact on our immune responses. Overall, our findings suggest that L. acidophilus KBL409 may be a promising probiotic for eczema management.

For biotin therapy for hand eczema, I began taking it six months ago, alongside time-release vitamin C. I haven’t had eczema since and no longer need dermatological visits. Previously, I used cream and steroids. This treatment is affordable, and I recommend it to housewives and hairdressers who frequently work with water. However, I didn’t notice any effect on constipation.

Took my mum, and she found it helpful. Her digestion has improved, and her microbiome seems better, with noticeable recovery in her intestines. However, for me, it wasn’t effective. It didn’t alleviate my bloating or chest pain. I won’t be purchasing it again and won't waste my money on this product.
