L. Gasseri

Lactobacillus gasseri is a lactic acid bacterium naturally found in the human intestinal and vaginal flora, as well as in breast milk. It belongs to the Lactobacillus genus, one of the most thoroughly researched groups of micro-organisms in the field of digestive health. Its ability to colonise the gastrointestinal tract durably makes it a probiotic strain of particular interest. Studies have shown that L. gasseri contributes to the balance of the intestinal microbiota and to the protection of the gut lining against colonisation by pathogenic agents. Scientific research also suggests it plays a role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and in supporting weight management, notably by acting on dietary fat absorption. Supplementation with L. gasseri may be of interest to those looking to support their intestinal balance, especially following antibiotic treatment or in cases of microbiota disruption. Probiotic strains of L. gasseri are generally well tolerated and can be combined with other lactic ferments for a synergistic effect.
