What is Lactobacillus?

ACTIVE INGREDIENT LIBRARY

Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria commonly found in fermented foods and naturally present in the human digestive system. These bacteria are characterized by their production of lactic acid and play an important role in food fermentation processes.

In nature, they are commonly found in fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, pickles, and certain types of cheese. Lactobacillus is recognized as an important component in maintaining a healthy gut flora.

Chemically, Lactobacillus bacteria are gram-positive, rod-shaped microorganisms that multiply under anaerobic conditions. The scientific literature contains numerous studies on the effects of these bacteria on human health.
