A new study, from Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children has found that a combination of Acidophilus Rosell-52 and Rhamnosus Rosell-11 (ie: Lifeplan Acidophilus and Rhamnosus) halved the risks of Helicobacter Pylori colonisation of the digestive tract in preliminary tests.
Helicobacter Pylori is a bacterium which weakens the gastric mucous layer of the stomach and is one of the major risk factors in the development of stomach ulcers and also some gastric carcinomas.
Researchers suggested that the way in which the lactic acid bacteria reduced H.Pylori infection was either by “simple competitive interaction between probiotics and H.Pylori on gastric mucosa or the possible suppression of H.Pylori urease, which is a crucial enzyme for H.Pylori viability”.
Current treatment for stomach ulcers include antibiotic double or triple therapies, which can have side effects such as diarrhoea, poor compliance and an increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance.
Also, there has been a pilot study carried out in Poland by Dr. Bielanski which shows that Acidophilus and Rhamnosus enhances the eradication of H.Pylori in patients under conventional treatment, while considerably reducing treatment associated side effects.
Therefore there is increasing evidence to suggest that Acidophilus and Rhamnosus should be used alongside or as a replacement for conventional medication for stomach ulcers to improve the eradication of H. Pylori and to reduce the risk of infection, which may lead to gastric cancer.
Institut Rosell has pioneered the development of probiotics since 1932 and their supplements are supported by clinical studies.
- They can specifically help to:
- Restore and maintain intestinal microflora balance which can be disturbed (changes in dietary habits, travel, stress, age, antibiotics)
- Enhance intestinal transit
- Modulate the immune system
- Restore vaginal microflora balance
- Enhance lactose tolerance (dairy)
Why not try Lifeplan Acidophilus and Rhamnosus, which contains the two lactobacilli strains, Acidophilus Rosell-52 and Rhamnosus Rosell-11.

It seems everything that strengthens the gastric mucous layer of the stomach is effective against this terrible bacteria.
Looks like it strengthens it as well! Thanks!
