- (sometimes mistakenly called L. bifidus). This species has greater survivability than L. acidophilus. This strain was discovered and developed by the Institute of Immunobiology and Virology in Belgrade. It produces prodigious amounts of polysaccharides, which aid adherence and stimulate immunity.
One capsule of Jarro-Dophilus contains approximately 3.4 billion organisms (12 billion per gram), supplying six different species: L. rhamnosus ROOII, L. plantarum, L. casei, L. acidophilus R0052, S. brave and S. longum -Morinaga strain BB536.
L. plantarum
- L. plantarum lactobacillus species, and is capable of producing antioxidant activity! L. plantarum ferments grains, grasses and vegetables and is a normal part of the diet.
L. casei
L. casei is often used to make fermented milk products and cheeses. It is popular in Japan and has been the subject of research including minor immunological effects in the GI tract involving the inhibition of pathogens.
L. acidophilus
This proprietary culture of institute Rosell is of human origin and was selected because of its ability to ferment 15 carbohydrates into lactic acid rather than the 11 carbohydrates typical of this species. It is recommended to balance intestinal microflora thanks to its ability to exert antimicrobial actions against pathogens. Several clinical trials have demonstrated the beneficial effects of R0052 together with R001 1 in supporting the digestive handling of milk sugar and in 'promoting normal regularity as well as activating healthy immune responses.
B. breve
B. breve is probably the most common species of bifidobacteria in infants, but it remains a lifelong resident throughout our livesB. breve produces L+Iactic acid, ferments over 2O carbohydrates and shares other characteristics in common with B. adolescentis.
B. Longum
BB536 (morinaga strain) - Highly Documented, with more than 30 years of research behind it, this strain from Japan implants, promotes Bowel regularity, and antagonizes pathogens.
