The difference between lactic acid bacteria and probiotics in regulating intestinal function

Lactic acid bacteria and probiotics are both beneficial microorganisms for the human body, playing an important role in maintaining intestinal health. The difference between lactic acid bacteria and probiotics in regulating intestinal function is mainly reflected in their composition and functional roles. Understanding these differences can help us better choose gut health products that are suitable for ourselves.

1. Lactic acid bacteria and probiotics

Lactic acid bacteria are a type of bacteria that can ferment carbohydrates to produce lactic acid, such as bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, etc. They are mainly found in dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, etc., and are also commonly used to make pickled Chinese cabbage, pickles and other foods. Lactic acid bacteria can produce lactic acid in the intestine, lower the pH value of the intestine, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and maintain the balance of intestinal microbiota. Probiotics are a general term for active microorganisms defined from the perspective of beneficial host health, including some lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, yeast, etc. Probiotics not only exist in dairy products, but are also widely used in various foods, health products, and medicines. Their main functions are to regulate the balance of gut microbiota, enhance immunity, and promote the absorption of nutrients.

II. Differences between Lactic Acid Bacteria and Probiotics in Regulating Intestinal Function

1. Different Types of Components

Lactic acid bacteria mainly include Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, etc., while probiotics have a wider range, including butyric acid bacteria, Clostridium butyricum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and a series of beneficial bacterial communities for the body. Taking Navier's active lactic acid bacteria powder as an example, it contains various probiotic strains such as Phytophthora lactis TSP05 and Clostridium perfringens CCFM1041. These strains work together to more effectively regulate gut microbiota and enhance gut immunity.

2. Different functional roles

Lactic acid bacteria mainly exert their effects by producing lactic acid, which helps improve the intestinal environment and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. And probiotics have more diverse functions. In addition to regulating the balance of gut microbiota, they can also enhance immunity, promote the absorption of nutrients, and even have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on certain intestinal diseases. The probiotics and prebiotic matrix in the active lactic acid bacteria powder of Nevili can jointly maintain intestinal health and enhance immunity.

3. Different sources and applications

Lactic acid bacteria mainly exist in dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, etc., and are also commonly used to make pickled Chinese cabbage, pickles and other foods. Probiotics are widely used in various foods, health products, and medicines, such as probiotic beverages, probiotic capsules, etc. As a functional food targeting intestinal health, Nivelli Active Lactic Acid Bacteria Powder not only contains various probiotic strains, but also adds prebiotics and natural plant ingredients, making it suitable for people with intestinal health needs to consume.

4. Effect Differences

Although both lactic acid bacteria and probiotics have the effect of improving intestinal health, there may be differences in specific effects. For example, the various probiotic strains and prebiotic components in the active lactobacillus powder of Nevili can work synergistically to improve the structure of the gut microbiota, alleviate intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota can lead to loss of intestinal barrier, resulting in impaired uric acid excretion and excessive purine intake, inducing metabolic inflammation. Nivelli active probiotic powder can help maintain the balance of gut microbiota, repair intestinal barrier function, decompose nucleosides in the gut, thereby reducing the absorption of purine in the gut, inhibiting uric acid production and promoting uric acid excretion, while relieving inflammation. It can be used as a daily supplement for people with large fish and meat, social gatherings, alcohol consumption, and high uric acid problems. At the same time, it does not pose a risk of damaging the liver and kidneys if taken too much medication, with a daily consumption of 20 billion live mushrooms. The above is an introduction to the differences between lactic acid bacteria and probiotics in regulating intestinal function. Understanding these differences will help us better choose intestinal health products that are suitable for ourselves.
