Swanson Lactobacillus Gasseri is a dietary supplement containing 3 billion of probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus Gasseri in each capsule
Lactobacillus Gasseri – lactic acid bacteria strain with probiotic properties from the family Lactobacillus. Because of its exceptional influence on the human organism it is also known as the “fitness probiotic”, which supports fatty tissue reduction independently of other factors. Thanks to the ability to produce lactic acid, it has a positive influence on the work of the intestines and the state of mucous membranes.
The Fitness Probiotic
This label was given to Lactobacillus Gasseri because of the effect, well-documented in scientific research, supporting fatty tissue reduction. During one of the studies, the subjects were divided into three groups receiving a portion of yogurt: 1 billion CFU L. Gasseri per one gram of yogurt, 10 billion CFU of the same bacterium and the control group obtaining plain yogurt. People with the increased body mass index (BMI) took part in the study. During the measurements after 3 months of the study, 8% loss of visceral fatty tissue was noted in the groups using the probiotic! It is worth mentioning that implementing the probiotic was the only intervention, as the subjects did not change their diets or physical activity. At the same time, the effects of the groups receiving small and high doses of the probiotic were almost identical, which suggests that supplementation with high amounts is not necessary.
Influence on leptin and inflammatory processes
The influence of the supply of L. Gasseri bacterium during high-fat diet was tested on obese mice. After 12 weeks of the study, as a result of the analysis of the amount of macrophages in adipose tissue, a considerable decrease was noticed in the group with the probiotic in comparison to the control group. Moreover, it was noticed that the probiotic also caused the improvement of the relation between activated inflammatory macrophages M1 to their total amount. Another interesting phenomenon was down-regulation of the expression of genes coding the synthesis of inflammatory factors, such as IL-6 or TNF-alpha. On top of that, the level of glucose on an empty stomach was also improved. These results suggest anti-inflammatory effect, which may be reflected in more efficient fat burning and achieving general health benefits.
L. Gasseri may have an influence on the improvement of sensitivity to leptin. Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue, which, when reaches the brain, transmits the signal about satiation and that we may stop eating, because we are sufficiently full. Apart from the management of the feeling of satiation or its deficit, it also considerably affects metabolic rate. The improvement of the sensitivity to this hormone may result in easier control of a diet and much more efficient fat burning.
Universal application
Thanks to the support of metabolism, independently of other factors, this strain may be used in every training period. Therefore, it will be a great dietary supplement in a training focused on weight loss, but it may also slow down fatty tissue growth during building muscle mass, when the amount of calories is much higher. It may also be used by people, who do not train at all, for example elderly people or people during rehabilitation after sever injuries or accidents, in order to limit the harmful effect of low activity level on body composition.
Digestive system support
L. Gasseri, since they are lactic bacteria, have the ability to produce lactic acid, as a result of the process of carbohydrate fermentation. This lactic acid demonstrates regenerative properties for mucous membrane on the surface of the intestines, the state of which has significant meaning for the tightness of intestinal barrier and the protection of the organism against permeation of harmful elements to the bloodstream. Better state of the mucosa means more efficient motor activity of the digestive tract and more effective digestion of food. Lactic acid may also lower pH in the large intestine, which enables more efficient fight with pathogen bacteria.
DRcaps® Technology
Specially designed capsules, in which the company Swanson placed its supplement, are supposed to protect the bacteria against the activity of potentially harmful factors, which may be encountered on the way to the large intestine, in which they may demonstrate their effect. The capsules DRcaps® are resistant to the effect of gastric juice, which is deadly for many bacteria. Using this technology makes the bacteria are released at the very end of their journey, during which they may safely wait inside the capsule, being protected against all dangers.
Swanson Lactobacillus Gasseri is recommended to people who want to improve their body and support weight loss at low cost and without any damage to health and even achieving health benefits. It shows a positive effect in the way totally independent of other factors, such as energy supply or physical activity. It may therefore be used in every situation. It will work well both in sportsmen reducing weight, those who build muscle mass in order to slow down fat growth and in people unrelated to sports, for example elderly people, in order to avoid gaining the level of fat, which could be dangerous to health.
