Streptococcus thermophilus ST81

Just like other probiotic bacteria, streptococcus thermophilus ST81 works through different mechanisms in the body. These are some of its most important effects:Digestion support: Streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can help reduce digestive problems such as diarrhoea, flatulence and constipation. It helps to regulate the intestinal flora and to facilitate food digestion.Strengthening of the immune system: Streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can strengthen the immune system and can help to ward off infections and diseases. It promotes the production of immune cells, such as T cells and antibodies which help to ward off harmful bacteria and viruses.Reduction of inflammation: Streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the body’s natural reaction to infections and injuries, but chronic inflammation can lead to various diseases. Streptococcus thermophilus ST81 produces certain compounds which reduce inflammation in the intestines and can thereby reduce systemic inflammation in the body.Improvement of lactose digestion: Streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can help to better digest lactose. This is particularly relevant for people with lactose intolerance, as streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can break down lactose, thereby reducing digestive disorders.Protection against gastrointestinal diseases: There are indications that streptococcus thermophilus ST81 can assist in warding off gastrointestinal diseases such as stomach ulcers and intestinal infections. It produces certain compounds that can fight harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of infection.
