Lactobacillus GG.com page 2-LGG information

Culturelle™ LGG was originally selected for its special ability to cling to the intestinal wall and to colonize these cells. A protective coating is formed on the intestinal wall that leaves no place for pathogens to anchor themselves.

This ability has proven invaluable in managing the distressful symptoms of chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, candidiasis, IBS, Crohne's disease, Clostridium dificile, antibiotic distress and other digestive upsets. Where disease has produced imbalances in the normal GI bacterial population permiting overgrowth of pathogens and unpleasant digestive symptoms from damage to the lining of the intestine, Culturelle™ LGG provides for optimal healing.

The super aggressive growth of Culturelle™ LGG competes with the unfriendly organisms that produce disease, denying them food and living area and prevents their continued invasion of body systems. While LGG does not "cure" these diseases in the traditional sense, use of Culturelle™ LGG eases the pain and reduces fluid loss, normalizing stool consistency while aiding the natural defenses of your own body to eliminate the problem. Why put up with your digestive problems for another day?

Unmodified cholesterol molecules are normally reabsorbed to some extent by the body. Culturelle™LGG has been proven to naturally help reduce the levels of unmodified cholesterol in the gut. By breaking down the cholesterol molecule in the intestinal tract, Culturelle™ LGG permits cholesterol to exit the body in normal stool movement and reduces the amount of unmodified cholesterol remaining in the intestinal lumen .

This reduction in unmodified cholesterol molecules can lower the number of such molecules available to act as a risk factor for colon cancer developement. Culturelle™LGG as a result is helpful in controlling some of the side effects common to many prescription drugs used by your doctor for cholesterol reduction.

Taken alone, Culturelle™ LGG,may even help reduce your cholesterol level gently, naturally, over time, with absolutely no undesirable side effects on the liver or other body systems. Culturelle™ LGG by preventing reabsorption of unmodified cholesterol from the GI tract can provide a gentle aid for those individuals seeking a more natural help to control cholesterol plasma levels .

Of interest to those recovering from estrogen sensitive forms of breast cancer, Culturelle™ LGG benignly interferes with the usual recycling of excess estrogen and estrogenic compounds from the gut back into the blood stream, naturally lowering the concentration of this powerful hormone in blood plasma and urine. Culturelle™ LGG allows the excess estrogen to pass out of the body with the stool. No secondary effects are produced and no body systems are harmed. This enables you to help reduce your estrogen levels while you boost your immune levels and improve your digestive profile.
