We explored the effects of Lactobacillus species on bile-induced DNA damage in esophageal cells, which occurs during gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By exposing these bacteria to a bile-rich environment, we found they could survive and interact beneficially with injured cells.
Notably, adding Lactobacillus after bile injury boosted the repair of DNA damage and lessened inflammation. This suggests that these probiotics could play a role in protecting against long-term complications of GERD, like Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.

Positive effects on gastrointestinal symptoms
Our research aimed to understand how a specific symbiotic gel, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, affects gastrointestinal symptoms, including heartburn, in hemodialysis patients.
We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial with 42 participants over two months. The group receiving the symbiotic gel reported significant improvements in the frequency and severity of symptoms like heartburn and stomachache compared to the control group.
Overall, the gel appeared safe with no adverse effects noted. More extensive studies are needed, but these findings suggest promising benefits for managing heartburn in dialysis patients.

My husband suffers from daily heartburn and takes a prescription, pantoprazole, which helps somewhat but does not eradicate it. I read that this probiotic could aid with stomach issues like heartburn, so we tried it. I was pleasantly surprised to see it actually works. He usually takes Alka-Seltzer every evening before bed, but since starting this probiotic, he has needed it less frequently—only about once a week now, which is a significant improvement!

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.

This probiotic is fantastic! I've used it for about two years, initially to address constipation and withdrawal symptoms from valerian. It significantly calmed my anxiety and improved my sleep, especially when taken with a glass of wine before dinner. It also helped lower my blood pressure, which often spikes in stressful situations. After taking it during a stressful work moment, I felt calm and relieved a headache within hours. I'm thrilled to have found this probiotic!

We examined a promising new probiotic preparation designed to break down gluten and assist people with celiac disease. Our study included a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial with 70 volunteers over a 42-day period, where participants consumed increasing amounts of gluten following a gluten-free diet.
Those who took the probiotics showed significantly lower levels of residual gluten in their feces compared to the placebo group. Additionally, the probiotics appeared to enhance gut microbiota health, promoting beneficial microbial communities. However, despite these findings, we must proceed cautiously, as the overall impact on celiac disease management remains to be fully determined.

Exceptional digestion support
Most Useful Review
Perfect! My husband began taking Dr. Formulated Probiotics for Men by Garden of Life, and the outcomes have been outstanding. He struggled with constipation and bloating, but after using this probiotic, he experienced a significant improvement. His digestion is much smoother, and he feels less discomfort from gas. The high CFU count (50 billion per serving) and diverse probiotic strains tailored for men's gut health really make this supplement stand out. It’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Overall, if you're searching for a high-quality probiotic to enhance digestion and reduce bloating, I highly recommend this one!

Bifidobacterium lactis alleviates bloating
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.

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.

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.

Lactobacillus aids pigs' health
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.

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.

We explored the effects of probiotic LC-STH-13 on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in MRL/lpr mice. Our study demonstrated that LC-STH-13 significantly decreased harmful autoantibodies and rebalanced specific immune cells.
We also observed reduced immune cell infiltration in kidney tissue, indicating less inflammation. Furthermore, the probiotic helped restore healthy gut microbiota which gets disrupted by SLE. These findings suggest that LC-STH-13 may offer a novel way to manage lupus by targeting both immune regulation and gut health.

This probiotic has delivered remarkable outcomes. I’ve taken this supplement for a short period and have already seen an enhancement in my immune system. I caught a viral infection but recovered almost unnoticed; a slight stuffy nose and general weakness were the only symptoms, which passed in 2 days! Previously, colds would linger much longer. I increased my daily dose during this time and felt strong enough to return to the gym with no residual weakness. Although this might be coincidental, I'm very pleased with the supplement's quality and proven ingredients.
