Lactobacillus gasseri is an anaerobic, gram positive, rod shaped bacterium that is mostly found in gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals for their role in fermentation of many different food products.
One of the best example is of its use in meat fermentation. However, it provides less complications in the digestive system that makes it the best choice to ferment the meat.
This bacterium will not only decrease the ability of pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus to grow in the meat but would also function as a probiotic for the intestinal flora of the human GI tract. This would produce a much healthier meat product for all to consume.
L. gasseri can also stimulate immune response, boosting our body’s capacity to defend against pathogen.
Lactobacillus Gasseri act as “the fitness probiotic” because it helps the body regulate levels of leptin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and fat storage and therefore it acts as one of the fewest strains that can help with weight loss.
Lactobacillus Gasseri improves menstrual pain and dysmenorrhea in patients with endometriosis.
