Some questions&answers about Reuteri

ÎÄÕÂ·ÖÀà£ºÊ³Æ·ÖªÊ¶

How does Reuteri work?
Studies into Lactobacillus reuteri show that it can help protect the digestive tract against bad bacteria. The good bacteria, Lactobacillus reuteri, can survive in the gastric acid and bile salts in the stomach and upper intestine. They bind to the gut mucus and epithelial cells, and colonize the intestines.
Reuteri is also the only Lactobacillus species to produce and secrete reuterin, an anti-microbial agent that prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms in the digestive tract while not affecting other bacteria that are normal to a healthy person.±¾ÎÄÀ´×Ô http://hexu.info ºÍ¡¤ìã¡¤¾«¡¤´â
Are there any risks attached to taking too much Reuteri?
No. Safety studies have even been conducted with a daily intake of Reuteri corresponding to 200 litres of yogurt or milk and no adverse events were found other than a temporary increase in mild flatulence in a few people.

What are the scientifically proven benefits of Reuteri?
Extensive scientific studies carried out over many years have shown that Reuteri has beneficial effects on health:
Reuteri can help reduce the risk of diarrhoea among children. It can also significantly lower the incidence of watery diarrhoea among children suffering from rotavirus diarrhoea.
Reuteri has been shown to reduce the risk of common infections and significantly strengthen the body¡¯s immune defence. In two recent studies on day care children and adults, L. reuteri Protectis showed that taking Reuteri reduces the risk of acquiring common infections with symptoms such as fever, gut infection and common cold. Both adults and children experienced fewer days at home due to illness.
Recently Reuteri has been shown to have beneficial effects on oral health. The strain called L. reuteri Prodentis has proven to be helpful in cases of bleeding gums.

Can Reuteri be taken during pregnancy?
Yes, in naturally balancing the intestinal microflora and helping maintain a healthy digestive system, Reuteri is suitable and safe for pregnant women to consume. This has been confirmed in the Swedish study on children with risk for allergic disease, where the mothers had a daily intake of L. reuteri Protectis during the last 2-4 weeks of the pregnancy.
In fact, pregnant women may experience a higher degree of digestive problems during their pregnancy and supplementation with Reuteri could therefore be extra helpful.

Can Reuteri be taken with antibiotics?
Treatment with antibiotics may result in diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort. In most cases, the cause of diarrhoea is unknown, but an increasing number of the cases are caused by overgrowth of the potentially harmful bacterium Clostridium difficile.
Several studies have been conducted into the effect of probiotics on antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Some give promising indications that probiotics could be useful against the negative side effects of antibiotic treatment.
An ongoing study is investigating whether L. reuteri Protectis can help stabilize the normal microflora of the digestive tract while the subjects are taking a course of antibiotics.

Does Reuteri have any side effects?
Safety studies have been conducted on healthy newborns (including premature babies), small children, adults, elderly and immuno-deficient adults (HIV positive). In all studies Reuteri has been free from side effects, even when administered in doses widely exceeding the levels normally contained in Reuteri products. A few individuals have experienced a temporary increase in mild flatulence.

How long does it take to feel the effects of taking Reuteri?
Normally you should notice the effects within a few days. While people who are already perfectly healthy may not experience any difference, those taking Reuteri because of some digestive tract disturbance may notice an effect after 3-4 days. In some cases it may take longer if the person for instance is taking a medication affecting the digestive tract function.
Oral health products such as lozenge and chewing gum with L. reuteri Prodentis have shown effect on bleeding gums after 2 weeks.

What is the recommended dosage of Reuteri?
The recommended daily dose of Reuteri is 100 million L. reuteri (10⁸) CFU (colony forming units). You get this dose by consuming:
1 BioGaia probiotic chewable tablet
1 BioGaia probiotic straw
5 drops of BioGaia probiotic drops
the recommended volume of food, according to the manufacturer (e.g. 200-250 ml of drinking yoghurt)
The BioGaia probiotic oral health products (lozenge and chewing gum) contain 2x10⁸ CFU each.

What are Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis and Lactobacillus reuteri Prodentis?
L. reuteri Protectis is the name of the Reuteri culture having an effect on the human immune system, used in most products such as yoghurts and drinks.
L. reuteri Prodentis is the name of the Reuteri culture used in oral health products such as lozenge and chewing gum.

What kinds of products are available with Reuteri?
At the moment, Reuteri is included in a variety of dairy products, such as milk, fermented milk, yogurt, yogurt drinks, smoothies, cottage cheese and ice cream. Reuteri is also offered in infant formula powder.
In addition, Reuteri is available as a chewable tablet, in capsule form and in an oil suspension (BioGaia probiotic drops). You also find Reuteri in the BioGaia probiotic drinking straws and in a bottle cap. The BioGaia oral health products, chewing gum and lozenges, are available on some markets.

Is it better to take the BioGaia probiotic chewable tablet on an empty stomach or with meals?
The conditions under which BioGaia chewable tablets are taken are not critical. It is more important that the tablet is taken on a regular basis.

How many calories does a BioGaia probiotic chewable tablet contain?
Each tablet contains only 1.1 calories.
