Which strains to apply?
Sometimes we are asked which ingredients in our portfolio are available to apply in personal preparations. Therefore, here is a brief overview with a selection of available ingredients:
- For example, the portfolio includes a Clostridium butyricum strain that can make butyric acid, has anti-inflammatory effects, and is effective in, among other things, ulcerative colitis.
- You can also use the well-known yeast Saccharomyces boulardii, which is effective against pathogens and parasites and therefore useful in diarrhoea.
- There is a Propionibacterium freundenreichii strain that produces a. vitamin K2.
- There are specific Bifidobacterium bifidum, brevis, and Lactobacillus acidophilus strains that have been selected for their effect on intestinal permeability reduction and anti-inflammatory effect, and which can reduce insulin resistance.
- One of the ingredients contains the amino acid L-glutamine, which improves the intestinal barrier function and has been studied for reducing the side effects of chemotherapy.
- There is the well-known LGG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) that is effective in IBS and diarrhea, but has also been studied in, for example, mania and ADHD.
In addition to these and other ingredients, we are continuously searching worldwide for interesting other substances and strains that you can use in microbiome therapy:
- We will soon be expanding the portfolio with a Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus clausii strain, for example, which have been studied in vaginosis, IBS, and SIBO.
- We are also working on a Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecium strain that have been jointly investigated in a large number of clinical studies in ulcerative colitis, but also in, for example, respiratory pneumonia.
