Without colonisation there is no possible health benefit. Colonisation depends on the bacteria’s ability to survive and stick onto the intestinal surface.

Once consumed, a probiotic has to survive stomach acid and intestinal bile in order for it to remain alive to colonise the intestines.

The GG bacteria survive stomach acid and bile.

Scientific tests have shown that after LACTOGG^® is consumed by humans, the bacteria are able to exist alive in the stools and on the surface of the intestines, proving that LactoGG can survive the human gastrointestinal tract, colonise it and live to be excreted in the stools.

In contrast, yoghurt starters such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus cannot survive stomach acid.
