Heart Health

Certain probiotic strains produce bile salt hydrolase (BSH), an enzyme that breaks down bile salts so they are excreted rather than reabsorbed. The liver then draws on cholesterol stores to produce new ones. Limosilactobacillus reuteri LRC™ was selected from over 350 candidate strains for this BSH activity and has been studied in published clinical trials exploring its potential role in supporting heart health. Research in this area is ongoing and findings continue to evolve. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized cholesterol guidance.‡

Research suggests that certain probiotic strains may help support normal cholesterol levels through bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. BSH-active strains influence the recycling of bile salts in the gut, which may prompt the liver to use more cholesterol to produce new bile acids. Strain specificity matters, as not all probiotics share this property. Evidence continues to evolve, and diet, physical activity, and medical guidance remain the foundation of cardiovascular wellness. Speak with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
