Lp-G18 powder contains Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-G18 and a special cryoprotectant agent. Lactobacillus plantarum LpG18 is rod-shaped with an arc-shaped ending. Lactobacillus plantarum Lp-G18 helps to regulate the composition of gut flora to form a biological barrier, balance intestinal microbial flora, enhance the body's immunity, lower cholesterol levels, aid lactose intolerance, and inhibit cell formation.
The application of probiotics in combating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has garnered significant attention in recent years as a complementary or alternative approach to traditional antibiotic therapy. H. pylori is a type of bacteria that can infect the stomach and is a common cause of peptic ulcers and can contribute to the development of gastric cancer. Traditional treatment for H. pylori infection typically involves a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications, known as triple or quadruple therapy. However, due to the increasing antibiotic resistance and the side effects associated with antibiotic treatments, there's a growing interest in finding effective non-antibiotic approaches.
Probiotics, which are live microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts, have shown promise in enhancing the treatment and prevention of H. pylori infection. The mechanism by which probiotics exert their effects against H. pylori includes:
Competition for Adhesion Sites: Probiotics can compete with H. pylori for binding sites on the gastric mucosa, reducing the ability of H. pylori to adhere and colonize the stomach lining.
Production of Antimicrobial Substances: Certain probiotic strains can produce substances that are inhibitory to H. pylori, such as bacteriocins, hydrogen peroxide, and organic acids, which can directly kill or inhibit the growth of H. pylori.
Modulation of Immune Response: Probiotics may modulate the host's immune response, enhancing the production of antibodies against H. pylori and improving the overall immune response to the infection.
Reduction of Side Effects from Antibiotic Treatments: Probiotics have been found to reduce the gastrointestinal side effects associated with antibiotic therapy for H. pylori, such as diarrhea, nausea, and bloating, thereby improving patient compliance with the treatment regimen.
Several probiotic strains, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Saccharomyces boulardii, have been studied for their potential to suppress H. pylori infection. While results are promising, the effectiveness of probiotics against H. pylori can vary depending on the strains used, dosage, and duration of treatment. Therefore, further research is needed to identify the most effective probiotic strains and to establish standardized treatment protocols.
It's important to note that while probiotics can support the treatment of H. pylori infection, they should not replace conventional antibiotic therapy but rather be used as an adjunct treatment under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
