Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (abbreviated as Lactobacillus GG or LGG) was isolated from healthy humans in 1983 by two professors from North Carolina State University (Gorbach and Goldin) and patented. The scientific community has verified that Lactobacillus rhamnosus has eight major effects on the human body:
Balance and improve gastrointestinal function
Lactobacillus rhamnosus is resistant to bile acids and can temporarily and effectively adhere to the intestines. It can effectively improve and adjust the human gastrointestinal flora, which is very beneficial to human health.
Enhance the human body's autoimmunity
Miettinen et al. found in experiments that the reaction of lactobacilli such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus with cytokines in the blood can inhibit immune dysfunction caused by gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in food and induce the production of more immune cells.
Promote the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus rhamnosus has a good mutual relationship with Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus, promoting the growth of each other, inhibiting harmful bacteria, and better protecting intestinal health.
Prevent and help treat diarrhea
A large number of clinical studies have confirmed that Lactobacillus rhamnosus can effectively prevent and treat diarrhea. Especially for economically underdeveloped areas, the breastfeeding rate of infants is low, and the incidence of diarrhea in newborns and infants is high. Taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus preparations or fermented foods can greatly alleviate this symptom.
Prevent respiratory tract infections
Debra et al. found in experimental studies that Lactobacillus rhamnosus can indeed reduce allergic reactions in the skin and respiratory system and lungs caused by allergens because Lactobacillus rhamnosus provides IFN-r (interferon-r). It is produced, so it can suppress the allergic immune mechanism and improve the allergic constitution. Long-term consumption can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of respiratory diseases in young children.
detoxification
The extracellular glycans and peptidoglycan in the cell wall of Lactobacillus rhamnosus can effectively and strongly bind to the carcinogenic aflatoxin B1, thus exerting its detoxification effect. In the food industry, the most effective method to remove carcinogenic aflatoxin B1 is currently the probiotic purification method. It mainly uses special Lactobacillus rhamnosus to strongly bind and chelate aflatoxin, effectively removing carcinogenic toxins in milk, food and feed. At the same time, eating Lactobacillus rhamnosus can also effectively bind aflatoxin contaminated by accidental consumption in the intestines ( qū) Toxin B1.
Prevent dental caries
Lactobacillus rhamnosus In the research experiments of Hiroki et al., it was found that adding Lactobacillus rhamnosus to milk can effectively reduce the risk of oral cavity, periodontal disease, and fungal infection. Because Lactobacillus rhamnosus can reduce the cavity-causing bacteria in the oral cavity - Streptococcus mutans - it can also effectively reduce the four pathogenic bacteria that induce periodontal disease - Pseudomonas gingivalis, interdental rot bacteria, gingival rot bacteria, and Fusobacterium dentalis. genus.
Prevent allergic effects
Reduce the occurrence of food allergies and accelerate the recovery process after allergies. Apostolou et al. gave 9 healthy volunteers and 8 patients with milk sensitivity a Lactobacillus rhamnosus preparation. After 4 weeks, they found that the intestinal anaerobic flora in the feces of the milk-sensitive patients was close to that of healthy people. At the same time, the symptoms of milk sensitivity have disappeared.
