What is the recommended dosage for Lactobacillus reuteri?

General: 100 million - 5 billion CFU/day; Infantile Colic: 100 million CFU/day (DSM 17938 strain, 5 drops); Adult Gi Support: 1-5 billion CFU/day

What are the side effects of Lactobacillus reuteri?

Potential side effects include: Mild gas in initial days of use, Occasional increased fussiness in infants during adjustment (transient), Rare loose stools, Very rare: bacteremia in immunocompromised individuals.

What is Lactobacillus reuteri and how does it work for gut health?

Lactobacillus reuteri is a probiotic species that naturally colonizes the human gut and produces reuterin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound. It has been studied for its ability to reduce H. pylori infection, improve gut motility, and reduce infantile colic. L. reuteri is unique among probiotics in its documented ability to produce a compound that directly inhibits a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms.

What is the recommended dosage of Lactobacillus reuteri?

The most studied strains are L. reuteri DSM 17938 and ATCC PTA 6475, typically dosed at 100 million to 10 billion CFU per day. For infantile colic, 100 million CFU daily has shown efficacy. For adult digestive health, 1-10 billion CFU per day is commonly used. The probiotic is often taken as drops, chewable tablets, or capsules.

Are there side effects or interactions with Lactobacillus reuteri?

L. reuteri has an excellent safety profile in both infants and adults across numerous clinical trials. Side effects are uncommon and typically mild. When used as an adjunct to H. pylori eradication therapy, it may help reduce antibiotic-related side effects. Standard precautions for probiotics apply to immunocompromised individuals.

About

Lactobacillus reuteri is one of the few probiotic species that naturally colonizes the human GI tract from infancy. It produces reuterin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound, and research suggests it may help support gastric motility and reduce visceral discomfort through TRPV1 channel modulation. The DSM 17938 strain has been extensively studied for supporting comfort in colicky infants.

How It Works

Produces reuterin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound (3-hydroxypropionaldehyde); accelerates gastric emptying via enteric nervous system modulation; reduces visceral pain through TRPV1 channel modulation; modulates gut motility and colonic transit.
