What are lactic acid bacteria?
As the name suggests, lactic acid bacteria are the bacteria that cause the milk/yogurt to ferment, but they have nothing to do with milk. Lactic acid bacteria are also called domestic bacteria and probiotics.
To have well-functioning digestion, the intestinal flora must be optimal, i.e. with a predominance of good intestinal bacteria. In a normal person, the intestine contains approx. 2 kg of intestinal bacteria, which is good for healthy digestion.
Unfortunately, good bacteria are not alone in the gut: Among the approximately 500 different types of microorganisms that are naturally found in the gut, there are also harmful viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
If you eat predominantly alkaline food, the good intestinal bacteria are fed and support both the intestinal mucosa and the immune system, while the disease-causing and less beneficial bacteria are starved.
However, eating predominantly acidic food like sweets and junk food benefits the harmful microorganisms, which can lead to intestinal problems, intestinal diseases, lifestyle diseases, and inflammation (inflammatory conditions in the body).
The function of the intestinal bacteria is, among others, to prevent the penetration of and fight against unwanted microorganisms, maintain a normal pH value in the intestine, ensure the absorption of vitamins and minerals and have a detoxifying effect.
To help the body on its way, it is beneficial to eat extra supplements of intestinal bacteria – also called lactic acid bacteria or probiotics. If you have been or are on antibiotics/penicillin, it always helps to eat lactic acid bacteria after, during and staggered from the treatment. Antibiotics/penicillin also kill all good intestinal bacteria and therefore most people tend to get sick quickly after a course of antibiotics.
Probiotic means ’for live’ whereas antibiotic means ‘against life’.
Can you eat too many lactic acid bacteria?
No, you cannot take too many lactic acid bacteria but you should always practice supplements in moderation. If you have been on antibiotics or penicillin, it is always a good idea to take probiotics afterward.
It is perfectly fine to continue with probiotics if your body also feels good. If there is too much air in the stomach, cramps, or the feeling of soreness in the gastrointestinal tract, take a short break.
However, research says that the first week on probiotics can be a little tough on the stomach, especially if you are not used to taking lactic acid bacteria. This is perfectly normal.
Do you often catch colds and influenzas, feel like you have no energy, skin problems and find yourself in a bad mood? That can be a symptom of a weak immune system. You can strengthen it by providing your body with the antioxidants and lactic acid bacteria that it needs.
Our patented 6595 strain are your guarantee to have a resilient immun system and efficient uptake of the antioxidants.
6595 can survive the acidic environment
Lactobacillus Plantarum 6595 can survive the passage through our stomach’s naturally acidic environment. They can colonize the mucosal cells in the intestinal system and increase the antioxidant effect by increasing the uptake rate of the antioxidants. Our vegan lactin acid bacteria strain has been selected for its gastro and immune supporting properties.
Lactic acid bacteria have nothing to do with milk
Lactic acid bacteria have nothing to do with milk. They refer to the fact that bacteria produce lactic acids when they ferment the medium in which they grow. A fun fact about lactic acid bacteria is that it is perhaps more accurate to say probiotic which means ‘for life’ in Greek.
