Probiotic strain reduces cholesterol
Cholesterol-lowering effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus BFE5264 and its influence on the gut microbiome and propionate level in a murine model.
We explored how Lactobacillus rhamnosus BFE5264 affects cholesterol levels using a mouse model on a high-cholesterol diet. This study revealed that this strain significantly reduced serum cholesterol levels while also altering the gut microbiome and increasing beneficial short-chain fatty acids. The findings suggest that L. rhamnosus could regulate cholesterol metabolism in the liver, showing effects similar to those of statin medications. These results highlight the potential of probiotics as a novel approach for managing cholesterol levels.

Best probiotics! I’m a holistic therapist and specialise in colon hydrotherapy. When evaluating a patient, I review their medical history, particularly their antibiotic use. Observing their diet reveals why they suffer from gut issues. My primary recommendation is Ultimate Care, as leftovers from meat can decompose in the small intestine and colon, causing significant problems. I explain the necessity of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, but I emphasise the benefits of yeasts, including their probiotic effects, biodegradation of phytate, folate biofortification, detoxification of mycotoxins, lowering serum cholesterol, and their antioxidative, antimutagenic, and antitumour properties.
