Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG의 건강 증진 효과

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103, LGG) is one of the most researched probiotic strains in the world. It has been studied extensively in humans and experimental animals for a wide variety of uses. L. rhamnosus GG was isolated from an adult human in 1983, and it has a safe history of use in food products since 1990. The strain has most of the characteristics generally proposed for a good probiotic strain, including excellent survival in and transient colonization of the gastrointestinal tract, which is based on its adhesion capacity to intestinal mucus and epithelial cells. Successful recovery of the strain in stool samples has made dose-response studies possible and enabled the evaluation of effective dosing using food products. L. rhamnosus GG has also been found to have many beneficial health effects on gastrointestinal infection, antibiotic associated diarrhea, respiratory infection, viral infection and allergy.
