Lactobacillus Rhamnosus

Meaning

Lactobacillus rhamnosus is a specific, extensively studied species of Gram-positive, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic bacteria that naturally inhabits the human gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. It is widely utilized as a probiotic, meaning it confers a health benefit on the host, particularly by supporting the integrity of the gut barrier and modulating local and systemic immune responses. Certain strains are commercially administered to support digestive and immune health.
