Enterococcus faecium

Eine gesunde Darmflora spielt eine große Rolle für die Gesundheit des Organismus.

Probiotic bacterial cultures

Probiotic bacterial cultures can help to build up a damaged intestinal flora in a natural way, as well as support a healthy intestinal flora. They settle in the intestine and promote, among other things, the regulation of intestinal peristalsis. In the Latin origin of "probiotic" the benefit of the bacteria becomes clear, because probiotic stands for "pro bios", i.e. "for life". Probiotic bacterial cultures have a positive effect on the intestinal flora, making them desirable inhabitants of the intestinal microbiome. The basis for a health-promoting effect is that the bacteria used arrive in the intestine, especially in the colon, without first being absorbed. To ensure this, they must be ingested in sufficient quantity.

Enterococcus faecium is one of the probiotic microorganisms and is physiologically present in the intestinal flora. It is a gram-positive, facultative anaerobic lactic acid bacterium that has a positive effect on digestion when ingested in sufficient quantities.

Effect

Enterococci, taken orally, pass undigested through the stomach into the intestine. Once there, the various bacterial cultures compete for specific receptors on the intestinal epithelium. All bacterial cultures have a limited lifespan in the intestine, after which they are excreted. With continuous intake of probiotic bacterial cultures, the undesirable bacteria are therefore replaced by the desirable ones. Probiotic cultures thus help to reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. This happens because the probiotic bacteria change the luminal pH in a way that influences the binding ability of the pathogenic intestinal bacteria. Especially in the case of a weakened gastrointestinal tract, the harmful microorganisms can be displaced by strengthening the natural intestinal flora. Probiotic bacteria can thereby have a regulating effect on digestion, strengthen the intestinal barrier and provide protection against invading germs. All while favoring the immune system in the intestine.

Application

Enterococcus are particularly suitable as a cure application, where they are fed over several days to weeks. When Enterococcus faecium is used, the intestinal surface is densely colonized with the apathogenic microorganisms for the intestinal epithelium. No existing microorganisms are killed in the process. Enterococcus faecium has the ability to support the gastrointestinal tract, regulate discomfort there and build a healthy microbiome. It also strengthens the immune system, which gives it a wide range of applications in inflammatory diseases, as these primarily attack the immune system. With the use of probiotic bacteria, healthy intestinal flora can be maintained, reducing the possibility of disease caused by pathogenic agents.
