Introduction
Lactobacillus gasseri (L. gasseri) is a type of probiotic ("good" bacteria) found naturally in the human body. It's also found in fermented foods."Good" bacteria such as L. gasseri might help the body break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off "bad" organisms that might cause diseases. These bacteria are sometimes added to fermented foods like yogurt and also found in dietary supplements.People use L. gasseri for hay fever, asthma, common cold, diarrhea, indigestion, obesity, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse L. gasseri with other Probiotics, or with fermented food products such as fermented milk, kefir, or yogurt. These are not the same. Also note that the Lactobacillus genus was split up into 25 different genera in April 2020. Many species were reclassified at this time, but L. gasseri remains in the Lactobacillus genus. Its name did not change.
Live L. gasseri has most often been used by adults alone or together with other probiotics in doses of 1-2 billion colony-forming units daily for up to 12 weeks. Heat-killed L. gasseri has most often been used by adults in doses of 10 billion cells daily for up to 24 weeks. L. gasseri has also been applied to the vagina in a capsule. Speak with a healthcare provider to find out what type of product and dose might be best for a specific condition.
L. gasseri is a type of friendly bacteria. Antibiotics are used to reduce harmful bacteria in the body. Taking antibiotics along with L. gasseri can reduce the effects of L. gasseri. To avoid this interaction, take L. gasseri products at least 2 hours before or after antibiotics.
Storage
In general, probiotics should be stored in a cool and dark place. Some products suggest storing it in the refrigerator. Be sure to read the directions for storage for each product. Always store medications and supplements out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental consumption.
