  1. Gut Health: Lactobacillus bacteria are known to contribute to the maintenance of a healthy gut microbiota. They can help balance the microbial community in the intestines and may have a role in promoting digestive health.

  2. Immune Support: Probiotics, including certain Lactobacillus strains, have been studied for their potential to modulate the immune system and support immune function.

  3. Vaginal Health: Some Lactobacillus species are natural inhabitants of the vaginal microbiota and play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy vaginal environment. They contribute to preventing the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms.

  4. Fermented Food Production: Lactobacillus species are commonly used in the fermentation of foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi, contributing to the preservation of these foods and providing potential health benefits.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
