Our Hero Lactobacillus: A Poem About Probiotics

Note: Lactobacillus is probably the most researched strain of probiotics, showing a wide variety of health benefits. It has shown particular benefit in displaying natural antibiotic activity against a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms in the gastrointestinal system. It supports intestinal tight junctions, preventing leakage of foreign material into the body and promotes peristalsis, or movement in the digestive tract responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients.

Perspective research shows that Lactobacillus produces a metabolite that interacts with a receptor known as hydroxycarboxylic acid, or HCA3 receptor which has an up regulatory effect on the immune system. Other studies have examined the effects of Lactobacillus and other probiotics such as Bifidobacterium on optimizing liver function, reducing LDL Cholesterol levels and even exhibiting protective effects in Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims exposed to radiation.

If you are unsure where to find a health hero non villainous Look no further than to our good friend, Lactobacillus. He protects our gut lining despite his small size And never lets in those pathogenic bad guys.

Found in yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchi too Promoting gut mobility and liver detox too. Working on those HCA3 receptors galore Kickstarting an immune response, he settles the score.

He works in cahoots under strict magisterium With other friendly microbes like Bifidobacterium. Together producing natural antibiotic-like agents Lowering cholesterol and protecting against radiation.

If you’re feeling blue and stuck in a rut Remember that true health begins in the gut. Our hero whose home is by a microvillus If it thills us, it fills us…it’s Lactobacillus!
