LB17 Probiotic supplements, Lb17 capsules and Lb17 biomass in a bottle. The concentrate in each vegetable capsule of LB17 live probiotic supplements contains 17 strains of lactic probiotic bacteria (11 lactobacillus + 2 bifido bacterium), amino acids, vitamins and minerals. LB17 probiotic dietary supplement
A European study has shown that lactic probiotic bacteria is an effective and potent anti fungal. Accordingly, it would be effective for the treatment and eradication of Candida.
At the same time, it would benefit the user by bringing balance back to the intestinal flora and prevent re-infection due to the colonizing effects of the LAB in LB17 live probiotic dietary supplement
The benefits of using LB17 live probiotic dietary supplement
- Treat and control fungal infections, including eradicating Candida, through the anti fungal effects of LAB especially the LAB strains in LB17
- Bring the balance of friendly flora in the digestive system back to at least 80% good probiotic bacteria
- Assist in the digestion of food consumed and its subsequent absorption
- Boost the immune system of the body
- In bringing the digestive functions back to good order, help to ease the stress on and cleanse the organs associated with digestion such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, etc
- Support the treatment of crohns and colitis
- Study shows LB17 probiotic's digestive health supplement protects intestinal cells from effects of infection by interoinvasive Escherichia coil (EIEC)
- Improve oxygen intake to the red cell platelets and thus improve the stamina and endurance of athletes from studies conducted by researches at Okayama University, Japan
- Convert botanical lignans (SDG) in the bowel to mammalian lignans (ED and EL) to enable the body to absorb these powerful and amazingly beneficial substances. Lignans have been recognized and acknowledged by the medical fraternity as effective in treating and preventing cancers such as breast, bowel, colon and prostate cancer.
- Help treat psoriasis, a condition which is being recognized to be caused by a poor or inadequate immune system
- Help treat asthma and mothers who use probiotic's during pregnancy may ensure that the new born child do not develop asthmatic symptoms
- Prevent colds and nasal congestions through elimination of excessive bad and harmful bacteria in the nasal passages
- Ease and relief heart-burn, acid reflux and most other digestive disorders such as excessive intestinal gas
The role of lactic bacteria in the prevention and the treatment of diseases
They inhibit the proliferation and the activities of pathogenic bacteria in several ways. By the production of lactic acid. Harmful and pathogenic bacteria cannot develop in an acidic environment By the production of specific antibiotics:
These are all anti-septic to pathogenic bacterium It has been shown that lactic bacteria, in particular Streptococcus faecium, colonize the intestinal mucous preventing its attachment by other harmful microbes. This protects the integrity of the digestive system eliminating the onset of many digestive disorders.
Live Probiotic Complex - Ingredients
The ingredients in LB17 Capsules are allowed to ferment naturally for a period of 3 years. Due to the way that LB17 "live" probiotic is exposed to extremes in temperature (summer and winter) during the fermentation process, the bacteria in LB17 are potent, resilient and are able to stay alive for up to 3 years at room temperature without the need for refrigeration.
The bacterium is live and viable and does not need to be revived unlike most other probiotics particularly those that are" freeze dried"
Prior to encapsulation with a vegetable gel cap, Perilla oil (high in Omega 3 EFA) is added to provide the Omega essential fatty acids. LB17 does not contain any preservatives, additives, colouring, or artificial flavouring
LB17 "live" probiotic is suitable for vegans as well as the "raw foods practitioner". It is very useful to the lactose intolerant and milk protein (caesin) sensitive individuals as it breaks down dairy products and nutrients consumed so that they can be better absorbed by the body
The concentrate in each vegetable capsule of LB17 "live" probiotic contains 17 strains of lactic bacteria (10 lactobacillus + 2 bifidobacterium), digestive enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals

Lactobacillus acidophilus
L. acidophilus populates the small intestines. It enables preconjugation of bile acids to assist in better digestion of food and nutrients
consumed which leads to production of lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other by-products that make the environment hostile for
undesired organisms.
L. acidophilus also produces Vitamin B12, lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar (lactose) into simple
sugars. People who are lactose intolerant do not produce this enzyme. Other benefits include reduction of blood pressure and anti-tumour.
L. acidophilus is the colonizer, the inhabitant that constitutes the first line of defence against alien invaders, as well as
opportunistic organisms like yeasts (Candida albicans)
Lactobactillus amylovorus
L-amylovorus produces strong L-lactic acid slowly. The L-lactic acid helps to reduce cholesterol and has an anti-cancer effect.
L. amylovorus products the enzyme amylase that helps to break down starch and cereals.
Lactobacillus casei
L. casei also produces L-lactic acid that helps increase salt tolerance. It is useful as acid-producing starter cultures for milk
fermentation, and as specialty cultures for the intensification and acceleration of flavour development in certain bacterial-ripened cheese
varieties.
It is not only an inhibiting activator in tumour cells but it also has a beneficial stimulating activity in normal cells. L.
casei is very beneficial to lactose intolerant individuals in their consumption of diary products. L. casei was reported in Microbiology & Immunology to have the most potent protective activity against the potentially lethal Listeria bacteria than any other \
beneficial bacteria
Lactobacillus plantarum (2 strains)
L. plantarum improves mucosal and liver status. It also improves the immunological status of mucosa and reduces mucosal inflammation
and an excellent alternative to antibiotics. L. plantarum also decreases abdominal bloating in patients with IBS and can also
decrease fibrinogen concentrations in the blood.
Lactobacillus fermented
L. fermented is a well-characterized probiotic strains with efficacy in the prevention and treatment of urogenital infections in women.
It also produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and inhibited the growth of intestinal and urogenital pathogens.
Lactobacillus brevis
L. brevis is frequently used as starter culture in silage fermentation, sourdough and lactic-acid-fermented types of beer. Ingestion of
L. brevis has been found to improve human immune function, increase intestinal microflora and decreases intestinal permeability.
Lactobacillus buchneri
L. buchneri has been demonstrated to improve aerobic stability of silages by reducing the growth of yeasts and therefore help to prevent
spoilage from moulds. L. buchneri has also been shown in studies to produce high levels of acetic acid.
Lactobacillus bulgaricus
L. bulgaricus is extremely proteolytic, i.e., it is able to split proteins for easy digestion and absorption. it is especially "famous"
for alleviating digestive problems (including acid reflux) and taming a runaway appetite, everyone can benefit greatly from it.
L. bulgaricus
is recommended for overall support of the friendly bacteria, enhanced digestibility of milk products and other proteins, production of natural
antibiotic substances, inhibition of undesirable organisms, maximum effectiveness of waste disposal, colon cleaning without disrupting friendly
bacteria, and effective immune enhancement.
Bifidobacterium longum
B. longum has the unique property of metabolizing or degrading nitrates by an intracellular enzymatic activity. In journal Cancer
Research it had been reported that dietary intake of B. longum significantly inhibits the development and growth of colon, liver and breast
cancers in laboratory animal models.
Certain strains in animal studies had been documented as possessing the ability to counteract
cancer-causing compounds in the colon.
Bifidobacterium bifidum
B. bifidum has been cited in the medical journal Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology that their presence in the intestine
of infants is an indication of health. It also has the ability to protect the body against the devastation of rotavirus diarrhoea and that it
modifies the gut flora and is a supportive therapy for intestinal infections and intestinal disturbances.
B. bifidum has immune
strengthening properties as reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition especially in relation to colon health and its
suppressive effect on tumours. It reports that B. bifidum is well tolerated without side effects, reducing the inflammatory response of the
colon and stimulating the body's fluid immunity.
Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin reported information confirming the anti-ulcer
effects of B. bifidum when administered orally.
Pediococcus bacterium
The Pediococcus bacterium are not yet fully understood and commonly confused as harmful pathogens. However, recent studies and researches
now confirm their beneficial properties in a number of the strains particularly of those used in LB17. They produce bacteriocin (anti-bacterial
material) and increase salt tolerance. Studies have found that they might be useful for control of enteric pathogens.
Streptoccous thermophilus
S. thermophilus is used, along with Lactobacillus spp., as a starter culture for the manufacture of several important fermented dairy
foods, including yogurt and Mozzarella cheese. Its role as a probiotic is useful in alleviating symptoms of lactose intolerance and other
gastrointestinal disorders.
It is also good for promoting health in general and for longevity. The bacteria also appear to reduce the amount
of nitrite (cancer causing chemical) in the body.
Lactococcus lactis (formerly known as Streptococcus lactis)
L. lactis is one of the most important micro-organisms involved in the dairy industry. It is a non-pathogenic bacterium that is critical
for manufacturing dairy products like buttermilk, yogurt and cheese. The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) has shown promise in clinical trials
for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The research with mouse showed that the therapeutic dose of IL-10 can be reduced by
localized delivery of a bacterium to secrete the cytokine. Intragastric administration of IL-10-secreting Lactococcus lactis caused a 50%
reduction in colitis in mice treated with dextrin sulphate sodium and prevented the onset of colitis in IL-10/ mice. This approach may lead to
better methods for cost-effective and long-term management of IBD in humans.
