Lactobacillus Helveticus Supports Bone Density
Studies conducted on post-menopausal women by the University of Helsinki (2004), show that Lactobacillus Helveticus supports bone mineral density and increases calcium absorption. The application of milk products containing this bacterium proved to increase bone formation of osteoblasts (bone cells), as well as serum calcium concentrations.
Benefits of Lactobacillus Helveticus include:
Aiding hypertension by reducing blood pressure
Facilitated recovery from fatigue
Stress-reducing effects
Stimulation of antitumor immune response, particularly with estrogen-dependent tumors
Immunostimulating effects
Help modulating the relationship between immune and endocrine systems
Potential for improving learning ability and memory
Help in prevention of osteoporosis
Possible assistance for life extension
Lactobacillus Helveticus is often used in making Swiss-type cheeses and added specifically to certain fermented milks, and can be found in Tony Sfeir’s Digestive Boost full of Probiotics.
