Lactobacillus reuteri is a well-researched probiotic strain that naturally colonizes the human gut. It produces reuterin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound, which inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, E. coli, Salmonella, and other pathogens. Pylosh supports gut barrier function, reduces antibiotic-associated diarrhea, alleviates colic in infants, and enhances mucosal immunity. Each capsule delivers 2 billion CFU with enteric protection for maximum survival through stomach acid.
Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 is one of the most extensively studied probiotic strains
with over 200 clinical trials. It exhibits unique properties:
1. Antimicrobial production: L. reuteri produces reuterin (3-hydroxypropionaldehyde),
a potent antimicrobial that inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium difficile,
Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Shigella without harming beneficial commensals.
2. Gut barrier enhancement: It upregulates tight junction proteins (occludin, claudin),
reducing intestinal permeability ("leaky gut").
3. Immune modulation: It increases regulatory T cells (Tregs) and reduces pro-inflammatory
cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α), making it beneficial for allergies and inflammatory bowel conditions.
4. H. pylori management: When used alongside triple therapy, L. reuteri significantly
improves eradication rates and reduces side effects (diarrhea, nausea).
