Product Overview

Lactobacillus reuteri is a highly versatile and well-researched probiotic strain, naturally colonizing the gut of humans and other animals. Recognized for its unique ability to produce the broad-spectrum antimicrobial substance reuterin, L. reuteri offers comprehensive support for gastrointestinal, immune, and even systemic health. We supply robust and highly viable Lactobacillus reuteri strains, backed by substantial clinical evidence. To meet diverse formulation needs, we offer this multi-beneficial probiotic in two high-potency options: 100 billion CFU and 200 billion CFU.

Technical Advantages

Our Lactobacillus reuteri is distinguished by its unique characteristics and proven efficacy:

Natural Reuterin Production: Uniquely produces reuterin (3-hydroxypropionaldehyde), a potent antimicrobial compound that inhibits the growth of a wide spectrum of harmful bacteria, fungi, and protozoa in the gut.

Strong Mucosal Adhesion: Demonstrates a superior ability to adhere to intestinal mucus and epithelial cells, promoting persistent colonization and sustained benefits.

Dual High-Potency Options: Choose from 100B CFU for robust formulations or 200B CFU for maximum-strength, clinical-grade supplements, providing flexibility for product tiering.

Extensive Clinical Backing: Our strain is supported by human studies highlighting its benefits for digestive comfort, immune modulation, and beyond.

Human-Sourced Origin: Isolated from human microbiota, ensuring its natural adaptation and efficacy within the human gastrointestinal tract.

Application Scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes Lactobacillus reuteri unique among probiotics?

L. reuteri is one of the few probiotics that naturally produces reuterin, a powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial substance that gives it a significant competitive edge against pathogens in the gut.

2. Can L. reuteri help with infant colic?

Yes, specific strains of L. reuteri have been extensively studied and are clinically demonstrated to significantly reduce crying time in breastfed infants with colic, making it a top-choice probiotic for pediatric applications.

3. What is the benefit of choosing the 200B CFU over the 100B CFU option?

The 200B CFU option allows you to create a premium, maximum-strength product for consumers seeking the highest available potency, often used in targeted therapeutic protocols or for enhanced efficacy claims.

4. Is L. reuteri safe for infants and children?

Yes, certain well-documented strains of L. reuteri have an excellent safety profile in pediatric populations and are among the most researched probiotics for children. Always ensure your formulation and dosage are age-appropriate.

5. How does L. reuteri support the immune system?

It modulates the immune system by promoting regulatory T-cell development and function, and by crowding out potential pathogens through reuterin production, thereby supporting a balanced immune response.

6. What is the shelf life and recommended storage condition?

Our L. reuteri bulk powder has a shelf life of 24 months when stored in its original sealed packaging at or below -18°C (freezer conditions) to ensure maximum viability.

7. Can this strain be used in products for women's health?

While its primary benefits are linked to gut and immune health, some research suggests that L. reuteri can also support urogenital health by helping to maintain a balanced microbiome in that region.

8. Is your L. reuteri strain resistant to antibiotics?

No, our strain is susceptible to commonly used antibiotics, which is a desirable safety feature. This prevents the potential transfer of antibiotic resistance genes to other bacteria in the gut.

9. Do you provide the specific strain designation?

Yes, we provide full strain identification and characterization for our B2B partners, which is crucial for making accurate structure/function claims and for product labeling.

10. Can L. reuteri be combined with other probiotic strains?

Absolutely. It works well in synergistic blends. For instance, combining it with L. rhamnosus can create a powerful formula for comprehensive immune and gut health support.
