SuperSmart’s Lactobacillus reuteri supplement in delayed-release capsules provides valuable support for cardiovascular health and helps regulate cholesterol levels.*
The human gastrointestinal tract is home to around 100 trillion bacteria, collectively known as microbiota. These bacteria play an essential role in maintaining a balanced interaction between the body and its environment. Weighing up to 2 kilos, research continues to reveal their increasing importance in supporting overall health.* Among the many recorded species of probiotic bacteria—living microorganisms that coexist with the human body—are lactic bacteria, which include sub-categories such as bifidobacteria, lactococcus, streptococcus, and lactobacillus.
Researchers are uncovering the broad importance of probiotics for human health, with their benefits reaching beyond just digestive and immune system support.*
Animal research and clinical studies suggest that targeted probiotic supplements can provide timely support for metabolic health, with studies indicating they are generally well-tolerated and free from significant side effects.*
Lactobacillus reuteri produces an enzyme called BSH (bile salt hydrolase), which supports the reduction of intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol, allowing it to be excreted through stools.* Cholesterol, like other fats, requires conjugated bile acids for absorption. Studies suggest that taking L. reuteri may promote the excretion of cholesterol by breaking down the chemical bonds of conjugated bile acids.* Additionally, emerging research indicates that another mechanism may contribute to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and supporting cardiovascular health.*
In addition to storing excess cholesterol, bile acids serve as key signaling molecules that help regulate cholesterol metabolism through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR).* When conjugated bile acids are broken down in the presence of Lactobacillus reuteri, this signaling process is modulated, which may support the breakdown and excretion of cholesterol and reduce its reabsorption in the intestine.*
Studies reveal the following about the potential Lactobacillus reuteri health benefits:
Lactobacillus reuteri capsules represent a new generation of probiotics, offering benefits that go beyond the digestive system for both men and women.* They naturally and safely help maintain overall wellness.* Because it supports cardiovascular health, L. reuteri makes an excellent complement to other heart health supplements, such as phytosterols, fish oils, soy, or soluble fiber.*

the last two times i ordered i did not receive the correct product in the container, the pills where larger and had drastically different effects on me so i don't know what was in them, don't know if the product was mistakenly replaced or deliberately switched in transit. but prior receiving the correct item it was 5 stars
