HELP LOWER OXIDATIVE STRESS<br />
AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASES<br />
Studies have shown that probiotic<br />
bacteria like DG (LC-DG) or Lactobacillus<br />
casei, produce advantageous postbiotic<br />
byproducts that could help regulate<br />
immune/inflammatory responses. In some<br />
studies, it has been found that postbiotics<br />
like propionate, butyrate, and acetate<br />
are linked to lowered generation and<br />
regeneration of reactive oxygen species,<br />
regulation of apoptosis, and inflammatory<br />
suppression. Considering their ability to<br />
lower inflammation like after a patient<br />
has recovered from an infection or illness,<br />
postbiotics and probiotics can work<br />
together, be very helpful for treating<br />
IBD and IBS symptoms amongst other<br />
inflammatory conditions. Some studies<br />
even show that in specific cases when<br />
probiotics aren’t necessarily helpful or safe<br />
to administer to patients with irritated GI<br />
tissues, postbiotics could be the best and<br />
safest alternative to treat IBD patients in<br />
the acute inflammatory phase.<br />

COULD HELP PREVENT DIABETES<br />
AND LOWER BLOOD SUGAR<br />
A recent study conducted at McMaster<br />
University in Canada showed that the use of<br />
postbiotics can be linked to the reduction<br />
in blood sugar levels in individuals<br />
considered prediabetic. Postbiotics appear<br />
to offer anti-diabetic effects since they<br />
improve how the body utilizes insulin.<br />
Researchers suggest that postbiotics<br />
work by lowering fat inflammation and<br />
lowering the liver’s insulin resistance. Mice<br />
