Mechanism of Action

Studies of probiotic activity in recent years provide evidence that probiotics counter experimental and human gastrointestinal inflammation (human inflammatory bowel disease) by their effects on epithelial cell function, including epithelial cell barrier function, epithelial cytokines secretion and their antibacterial effects relating to colonization of the epithelial layer. It reduces gastrointestinal pH through stimulation of lactic acid-producing bacteria; provides a direct antagonistic action on gastrointestinal pathogens. Moreover, it competes with pathogens for binding and receptor sites. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteriumbifidum appear to enhance the nonspecific immune phagocytic activity of circulation blood granulocytes. Lactic acid bacteria, like strains of lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus have also demonstrated antioxidant ability. Mechanisms include chelation of metal ions (Iron, copper), scavenging of reactive oxygen species and reducing activity. Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Bi dobaterium, have also demonstrated antioxidative ability. Mechanisms include chelation of metal ions (iron, copper), scavenging of reactive oxygen species and reducing activity.
