Best Probiotic Strains for Your Gut

9/18/2018

 
The bacteria in your gut have a huge impact on your overall health and well-being. They influence how well you digest food and absorb nutrients, the strength of your immune system, and the health of your small intestine and colon… and that barely scratches the surface.
The importance of probiotics for supporting gut health cannot be overstated. The bacteria in your gut are a community and there are many types, or strains, of bacteria that make up that community. Here we’ll take a look at the nine best probiotic strains for supporting gut health, which are included in Young Living's Life-9 Probiotic Supplement.

  7. Bifidobacterium breve
  8. Bifidobacterium bifidum
  9. Bifidobacterium longum

  • Lactobacillus acidophilus - supports digestion, particularly lactose digestion, and boosts the immune system.

  • Bifidobacterium lactis - Bifidobacterium lactis neutralizes gliadin, the wheat protein responsible for gluten sensitivity. Gliadin also damages the intestinal lining and can cause leaky gut.

  • Lactobacillus plantarum - produces L. lysine, an amino acid that supports calcium absorption, hormone production, and boosts the immune system. It’s often used as a remedy for bowel disorders.

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus - Generally cited for promoting a happy and healthy gut environment, Lactobacillus rhamnosus also has a reputation for helping with UTIs by kick-starting antibodies and boosting the immune system.
 
  • Lactobacillus salivarius - fights unwanted microbes in the mouth and the small intestine. It’s considered essential for oral health. This strain, as do many, thrives when provided with prebiotic foods like banana, barley, tomatoes, and garlic.

  • Streptococcus thermophilus - promotes healthy tissue in the small intestine. It discourages nitrates, like those in spinach, celery, and cured meats from turning into harmful nitrites. And, it breaks down a protein in cheeses, casein, which is known to cause allergies.
 
  • Bifidobacterium breve - is essential for colon health, especially if you’ve taken antibiotics. Studies have found that many digestive problems coincide with low levels of B. breve.
 
  • Bifidobacterium bifidum - is a household name in probiotic strains (if there is such a thing). It keeps unwanted bacteria out, eases digestion, and boosts the immune system. It plays an important role in immune function and allergy response; and encourages normal, healthy looking skin.
 
  • Bifidobacterium longum - helps keep acid levels balanced. It’s especially helpful for anyone taking antibiotics.​

Additional Probiotic Strands for health


  • Bifidobacterium infantis - supports the digestive system by releasing an acid that keeps harmful organisms from taking hold. It’s especially helpful for people suffering from digestive ailments or occasional constipation.

  • Bacillus laterosporus - a hearty strain that fights many types of harmful organisms, including candida.
 
  • Pediococcus acidilactici - Undigested food can rot in your gut; Pediococcus acidilactici helps put a stop to it. One study found that it also helps keep harmful organisms from damaging the gut environment.
 
  • Lactobacillus brevis - is soothing to both oral and colon tissue, helping both ends of your digestive system.
 
  • Lactobacillus bulgaricus - creates natural antibiotics in your gut that fight invading organisms. It also releases acids that neutralize toxins and promote balance.
 
  • Lactobacillus casei - supports digestion, the immune system, and soothes the bowels.
 
  • Lactobacillus gasseri - supports digestion, balanced blood sugar, and encourages a normal body weight.
 
  • Lactococcus lactis - helps digestion and encourages a normal gut environment, especially helping to defend against leaky gut.

  • Lactobacillus paracasei - helps with fatigue, protects teeth from cavities, and many people also report it lessens the impact of environmental sensitivities.
