How To Get Rid Of Gout

A probiotic or more of a probiotic at the same time. Unilever launches

What is better to take a functional food with a single probiotic or functional product containing a mixture of probiotic strains?. This is one of the questions that researchers try to answer today. A study published in World Journal of Gastroenterology by a group of Finnish researchers from Finland's National Public Health Institute of University of Helsinki , shows how different strains of probiotic , namely 11 strains tested for 6 different bacterial different including Streptococcus (S. thermophilus ) Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus , Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus and Propionibacterium , showed an enhanced induction of cytokines when used independently each in different trials than when they are used to combined. Surprisingly, Streptococcus (S. thermophilus ) and Leuconostoc were much more potent to induce the production of cytokines that Lactobacillus, probiotics commonly used for this purpose. In this study (Kekkonen RA, Kajastan E, Miettinen M, Veckman V, Korpela R, Julkunen I. Probiotic Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. cremoris and Streptococcus thermophilus induce IL-12 and IFN-f × production. World Journal of Gastroenterology. February 28, 2008 Volume 14 (8), pages 1192-1203.) the researchers detected the production of cytokines using mononuclear cells peripheral blood of healthy human (human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, PBMC) to This stimulated the production of cytokines in these cells by placing them in contact with different probiotic strains used in the study, determining production and mRNA levels of cytokines TNF-α , IL-12, IFN-γ and IL-10 using ELISA techniques and Northern blotting, respectively.
Despite these findings, other papers that show how mixtures of probiotic are better for treating certain conditions, such as diarrhea due to antibiotic use , so that the scientific debate is served, and the response the question that gave title to this short post is still in the air and needs much more scientific data to try to answer it. Probably the answer to the question depends on what we spend the probiotics and that we are using probiotics. Regards
