We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus on high cholesterol and blood sugar levels in diabetic rats.
By using yogurt fermented with this probiotic, we noticed significant reductions in blood glucose and an increase in healthy cholesterol levels.
Within just four days of consuming the yogurt, notable changes in liver and kidney enzymes were observed, alongside improvements in lipid profiles.
While promising, further research is needed to confirm these benefits in humans.

We investigated the cholesterol-lowering effects of two specific probiotic strains, FM9 and Y57, using a high-fat diet model in male Wistar rats. Over 30 days, these strains demonstrated a significant ability to improve blood lipid profiles.
Notably, FM9 and Y57 reduced serum cholesterol levels by 9% and 8%, respectively, while also improving "good" HDL cholesterol levels more than the statin treatment.
These results suggest that probiotics like FM9 and Y57 may offer a natural alternative to conventional medications for managing cholesterol, with the potential for anti-obesity benefits too, though clinical trials are needed to confirm these effects in humans.

We explored how two specific probiotic strains, Lactobacillus johnsonni 3121 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus 86, impact high cholesterol conditions linked to obesity. In our study using obese mice on a high-fat diet, we observed that daily doses of these probiotics over 12 weeks led to significant improvements in cholesterol levels.
Notably, both strains reduced lipid accumulation and influenced the genes involved in fat cell development. Additionally, they helped restore the balance of gut bacteria affected by obesity. These findings suggest that these probiotics could be valuable in managing high cholesterol and obesity-related health issues.

We examined the potential of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and other strains to lower cholesterol levels. Through in vitro testing, we observed impressive cholesterol reduction rates, achieving up to 91% decrease after 120 hours. When we moved to in vivo studies using rats fed fermented milk, we noted reductions in overall cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, while also enhancing HDL levels. Importantly, these probiotic strains demonstrated safety and effectiveness in their role as natural options for managing high cholesterol.

Probiotic strain reduces cholesterolCholesterol-lowering effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus BFE5264 and its influence on the gut microbiome and propionate level in a murine model.
High relevance in cholesterol management
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.

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.

I initially had high hopes for this drug due to positive reviews. Unfortunately, it caused me constant bloating and stabbing pain in my liver after a week. I followed the instructions diligently, but the discomfort persisted daily until I ceased taking the probiotics. Immediately, my swelling and pain subsided. I won't be trying these again, as previous probiotics had worked wonderfully for me.

A paleo enthusiast recommended this probiotic, claiming it's high-quality. However, it didn't seem to work for me, and I experienced a lack of bowel movements and bloating after switching from California Gold 30 billion. Are the ingredients genuinely effective?
