Title:

Attributes of Culture Bacteria as Influenced by Ingredients That Help Treat Leaky Gut

 

Objective: 

Like yogurt and its probiotics, L-glutamine, quercetin, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, licorice root, maitake mushrooms, and zinc orotate have demonstrated health benefits through gut microbiota. The impact of these ingredients on yogurt starter culture bacteria characteristics is not well known. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of these ingredients on the probiotic characteristics, tolerance to gastric juices and lysozyme, protease activity, and viability of Streptococcus thermophilus STI-06 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus LB-12.

 

Results: 

The application of marshmallow root, licorice root, and slippery elm bark resulted in significantly higher acid and bile tolerance for S. thermophilus STI-06, whereas L-glutamine, quercetin, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, licorice root, maitake mushrooms, and zinc orotate followed a similar trend as the control broths for acid and bile tolerance for L. bulgaricus LB-12.

 

Conclusion:

The application of marshmallow root, licorice root, and slippery elm bark, L-glutamine and zinc help to treat leaky gut.
